No one gave them a structured way to use Claude for real finance work.

The exact playbook and cheat sheet I wish every finance team had from day one.
Here's what's inside:
📘 Claude Finance Playbook
→ How to use Claude in Excel to build financial models faster
→ How to use Claude Voice Mode to work on finance from your phone
→ How to create an interactive scenario planner for faster decision-making
→ Security, compliance, and quality control standards for finance teams
→ Step-by-step prompts you can copy and use today
📋 100 Claude Tips (cheat sheet)
→ 25 Claude in Excel tips (formulas, variance analysis, scenario modeling)
→ 25 Claude Cowork tips (batch automation, research synthesis, file management)
→ 25 Dashboard tips (KPI scorecards, board-ready P&Ls, interactive dashboards)
→ 25 best practices (CSI+FBI prompting, extended thinking, web search)

→ Cell-level citations in Excel
→ Projects that keep your context clean per client
→ Cowork mode for long-running automation tasks
→ Extended thinking for complex scenario planning
I built these resources because I kept getting the same question:
"Nicolas, how do I actually get started with Claude for Finance?"
Now you have the answer.
