12 months ago, this wasn't possible.
Look at it now.
A CFO can drop a P&L into Claude and get a variance commentary back written in the tone of their last board pack.
A controller can paste a 40-page lease contract and have the IFRS 16 treatment drafted before lunch.
An FP&A lead can describe a scenario in plain English and watch a three-statement model take shape in minutes.
This is happening in finance teams right now.
Here are 30 prompts CFOs are already using with Claude 👇
—
But here's what nobody tells you:
The output is only as good as what you put in.
Claude needs three things to actually help a finance leader:
1️⃣ Context
Your business model. Your KPIs. Your reporting structure.
The more Claude knows about how you operate, the sharper the output.
2️⃣ Clean inputs
Real data. Real numbers. Real documents.
Drop in the actual P&L, the actual contract, the actual board deck — not a summary.
3️⃣ Specific prompts
"Make me a forecast" gets you nothing.
"Build a 13-week cash flow forecast based on this AR aging and AP schedule, flag weeks where cash dips below $500K" — that gets you a tool you can actually use.
—
And security.
The enterprise version of Claude doesn't train on your data.
Your financials stay yours.
This is the part most CFOs are still hesitant about —
and the part that's already been solved.
My question is:
If this is what's possible today what does the CFO role look like 12 months from now?
Save the 30 prompts. Test a few this week.
If you want these prompts, just drop a comment and I’ll send it to you.

For any lawyers or legal professionals or any future lawyers or legal professionals who want to enter the Legaltech and legal AI space (or want to differentiate from the rest of the pack), I would say the most important trait/skill (if we can call it a skill) is curiosity. I would say it’s more important to be curious and eager to learn than to have technical or tech skills. The reason being that in today’s world where so much content is available to learn from and where AI can help with bridging some of these gaps, if you are curious, you can learn quickly and acquire these skills as you go whilst if you are not curious that would be harder to do in order to go into Legaltech and legal AI or differentiate as a lawyer.
Curiosity is a superpower that enables and drives us to learn, experiment, do, make mistakes, learn again, evolve, and transition into new fields. Curious people are driven, relentless learners, and know that making mistakes is part of the journey. Curiosity augmented by the content, diverse people, and tech that we have around us today can allow us to branch out into new paths and avenues and break down old barriers. Like never before. Now is the time for curious people. In a world where answering the question becomes easier, asking the right (sometimes difficult) question and having the courage to ask it! becomes exponentially more important and irreplaceable.

New Research: A significant number of U.S. federal judges are already using #AI tools in their work.
In “Artificial Intelligence in Federal Courts: A Random-Sample Survey of Judges,” our team conducted a stratified random sample survey of U.S. bankruptcy, magistrate, district court, and court of appeals judges. Of the 502 judges that we surveyed via email, 112 responded (22.3% response rate).
Key findings include:
1. AI adoption is broad but infrequent
· More than 60% of responding judges reported using at least one AI tool in their judicial work.
· 22.4% of judges reported using AI tools in their work on a weekly or daily basis.
· 38.4% of judges have never used any of the AI tools listed on the survey in their work.
2. Preference for legal-specific AI tools
· Judges are more likely to use "AI for Law" tools (AI tools specifically designed for legal use cases) than general-purpose AI platforms.
3. Legal research dominates use cases
· Legal research is the most common AI use case, reported by 30% of judges.
· Reviewing documents is the second most common AI use case, reported by 15.5% of judges.
4. AI training has not been offered to most judges
· 45.5% of judges said that AI training had not been provided by court administration, and 15.7% said that they were not sure. Three out of four judges offered AI training attended the training.
5. One in three judges permit AI use in chambers
· 25.9% of judges permit and 7.4% of judges permit and encourage AI use in their chambers.
· Approximately 20% of judges formally prohibit AI use, 17.6% discourage but do not formally prohibit AI use and 24.1% of judges have no official policy on AI use.
6. Judicial outlook on AI is evenly split
· Judges were nearly evenly divided between being optimistic about AI’s potential for the judiciary and being concerned.
This study was completed in collaboration with the @NYCBarAssn Presidential Task Force on Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies and co-published by New York City Bar and @TSCSedona.

The author team worked closely with New York City Bar Task Force members Harut Minasian and David Zaslowsky.

AI reduced complaint response time from 16 hours to 3-4 minutes. Harvard Law documented it. Firms are still pretending this doesn't change the business model. clp.law.harvard.edu/knowledge-hub/…

New Article, possibly my last for a while.
I've spent two years figuring out how to make a two-person law firm compete with teams twenty times its size using AI. This is the closest I'll come to explaining how.
Also explains why I can type “plz fix” and get back work product that reads like I spent three hours on it, when really I spent three hundred hours building the system that did.

Claude just built a full CFO presentation from my Excel file. I didn't touch PowerPoint once.
Comment "PowerPoint" and I'll send you the link.
I've been a fractional CFO for years. Worked with over 100 companies. So when Anthropic announced Claude for PowerPoint, I had to know.
Can it actually create a legitimate CFO summary? Or is this just another AI demo that falls apart with real data?
So I tested it. Let me tell you why you should care.
Here's what I cover in the video:
→ How to set up your prompts before you even start. Garbage in, garbage out. This step saves you hours of back and forth.
→ What happens when you upload a real three-statement model. Not some demo file. Actual financials with projections.
→ The moment Claude did something I didn't even ask for. I wasn't expecting this one.
→ Where it struggled. Because yeah, it wasn't perfect. I'll show you exactly what went wrong and how I fixed it.
→ The final presentation. 10+ slides. Charts, KPIs, commentary. And whether the numbers actually matched my Excel file.
I said out loud at one point, "This would have taken me hours and hours to set up." Man, I was totally blown away.
But here's the question I can't stop thinking about.
What does this mean for my job? For analysts? For anyone who builds financial presentations?
Watch the full video. I'll let you decide.
Comment "PowerPoint" below and I'll send you the link.

Most common suggestions in the replies right now (thanks @grok):
- **Stop the heat-pressed garbage** — Bring back proper stitched/embroidered numbers and names on authentic jerseys (especially at premium prices).
- **Quality over everything** — Better materials, no more thin/flimsy fabric that feels like Walmart for $150–$200+.
- **Ditch the lazy template designs** — More creative, unique championship/fan gear instead of the same 3 boring templates every year.
- **Actual restocks** — Not “we added 12 more XLs” — real inventory of popular items.
- **Better price-to-quality ratio** — Prices keep climbing while quality keeps dropping.
- **Transparency after the meeting** — Have Rubin (or Fanatics) publicly say what was discussed and what (if anything) will change.
- **More player-specific/special edition gear** without the massive markup.
Babz@BabzOnTheMic
I have an in person meeting with Fanatics Founder & CEO Michael Rubin next week. You guys continuously spoke out & supported. It worked. On this post, write down changes you'd like to see in the company. I want to read these in the meeting. Change can happen. You’ll be heard.

2021 vs 2026
Same piping. Pure incompetence by Fanatics
Destroying iconic jerseys, one team and season at a time
#EndFanatics


Cory Brinson@CBrinson47
The lettering on the Red Sox jerseys this year is SO bad. Went back to the old template with wider spaced piping down the middle, but using last year's lettering template. So, so, so bad.
