finance-ops

finance-ops is aimed at accountants, controllers, and FP&A professionals who need a reliable first-pass reviewer for recurring, error-prone finance work. It targets people who regularly perform month-end closes, reconcile AP/AR, validate invoices before payment, or vet financial models, and who want a fast, disciplined check that surfaces discrepancies before a human signs off.

The skill solves the problem of catching arithmetic errors, duplicates, unreconciled balances, and questionable model assumptions early — without pretending to be an audit or financial advice. It emphasizes traceability, so every finding cites the underlying numbers a reviewer can verify, making the output safe to build on rather than something that must be re-checked from scratch.

When invoked, the skill first establishes a frame: it asks (once, concisely) for a materiality threshold and reporting basis/standard if these aren't already supplied, and infers period, entity, and currency from the data. In batch or non-interactive contexts where the frame is given, it skips the questions and runs immediately. It then routes to one of four modes — month-end close, AP/AR reconciliation, invoice validation, or financial-model review — based on the inputs and request, and consults the corresponding reference file for the step-by-step method.

For spreadsheet inputs it loads and parses data programmatically, recomputes totals and subtotals rather than trusting printed values, checks structure (headers, merged/subtotal rows), and preserves an audit trail without modifying source files. Every finding cites specific figures, accounts, rows, or invoice numbers and shows the arithmetic. It classifies findings by materiality, leads with a headline read, proposes (but never posts) adjusting entries, flags missing source documents as "not reviewed," and appends a standard disclaimer stating the output is a first-pass analysis, not an audit or advice.
