Finance AI Guides for Claude

272 free practitioner guides — the method, the formulas, the prompts. Written by finance professionals, not marketers.

Each guide covers a specific finance workflow: what the calculation requires, where AI helps, and what prompts actually produce usable output. Topics span valuation and M&A, fixed income and derivatives, risk management, tax and transfer pricing, insurance and actuarial, accounting and reporting, and compliance and RegTech.

These are not introductions to AI. They are practitioner references for finance professionals who already use Claude and want repeatable, accurate results on specific tasks — from IFRS 17 CSM roll-forwards to DCF modeling, AML transaction monitoring to SA-CCR exposure calculations.
