Finance

I need to summarise financial data for our leadership 
team. Ask me what period we're covering and what format 
the data is in. I'll paste the numbers — revenue, 
costs, margins, or whatever I have. Then create an 
executive summary covering key trends, notable variances, 
the 3 most important things leadership should know, 
and recommended actions.

I want to check whether a deal we're considering is 
profitable. Interview me about the revenue, direct 
costs, estimated effort, payment terms, and contract 
length. Then calculate the gross margin, flag any 
hidden costs I might be missing, and tell me what 
would need to change to improve the economics.

Help me project our cash position. Ask me about our 
current cash balance, monthly revenue, fixed and 
variable costs, receivables, payables, and any planned 
large expenses. Then project our cash position for the 
next few months and flag when (if ever) we hit a 
tight spot.

I need to analyse our budget versus actuals. I'll share 
the data — ask me about the period and any context 
around unusual items. Then analyse the significant 
variances, explain likely causes, flag whether each is 
a one-off or a trend, and recommend which ones need 
investigation.

I need to write the financial section of our board 
update. Interview me about the key metrics — revenue 
vs target, margins, costs, cash position, wins, and 
concerns. Then write a concise board-ready summary 
that leads with the headline, explains the key drivers, 
and flags anything needing board attention. Under 400 
words.

I need to explain a financial topic to people who 
aren't in finance. Ask me what the topic is, who the 
audience is, what's changing, and why it matters to 
them. Then draft a clear, jargon-free explanation that 
helps people understand the "why" without needing 
financial literacy.
