Anthropic just shipped 10 ready-to-run agent templates for finance.
Model Builder. Pitch Builder. Month-end Closer. KYC Screener. Five front office agents. Five back office agents. Every one built from skills, connectors, and subagents.
For the first time, the architecture that powers Fortune 500 finance teams is shipping out of the box.
When I saw the launch, I knew exactly who needed to teach this.
This week’s edition is brought to you by AI CFO Office.
AI CFO Office is the #1 Rising Bestseller in Business on Substack with 43,000+ CFO subscribers. The team there spends every week breaking down what is actually shipping in AI for finance, tested against real datasets, written for operators in the seat. The closed-loop CFO Skill Stack their readers are now installing in mid-market and enterprise finance functions.
When Anthropic shipped the 10 finance agents on Monday, AI CFO Office was one of the first to test them against a real company dataset. What they found is the closest thing to a finance department in a box I have seen ship from any AI lab.
I asked them to walk us through one specific use case. The Model Builder agent. From install to a working 3-statement financial model with scenarios in under 5 minutes.
Here is AI CFO Office.
Anthropic just changed how CFOs build financial models

What you are about to see is Claude trained on how serious finance professionals build models. Formula discipline. Template respect. Cross-statement integrity. Scenario architecture. The visual grammar finance teams expect.
By the end of this newsletter, you will have built a 3-statement financial model for a real company in under 5 minutes.
Let’s dive in.
