What it does

Finance Ops is an agent skill from ericosiu/ai-marketing-skills. AI-powered financial analysis suite. Generates executive CFO briefings from QuickBooks exports (P&L, Balance Sheet, General Ledger, Cash Flow, etc.) with anomaly detection, burn rate, runway analysis, and scenario modeling. Also estimates codebase development costs with organizational overhead and AI ROI analysis. Triggers on: 'CFO briefing', 'financial analysis', 'cost briefing', 'expense review', 'runway analysis', 'burn rate', 'cost estimate', 'how much would this cost to build', 'development cost', 'Claude…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/claude-roi.md` and `references/metrics-guide.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Financial analysis, Accounting and bookkeeping and Anomaly detection. It works with QuickBooks and Microsoft Excel. The repository describes itself as: Open-source AI marketing skills — growth experiments, sales pipeline, content ops, outbound, SEO, and finance automation. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Financial analysis
  • Runway analysis
  • How much would this cost to build
  • Development cost

Example prompts

  • “CFO briefing”
  • “financial analysis”
  • “cost briefing”
  • “/finance-ops”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

11 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Ingest Files
  2. Run Analysis
  3. Scenario Modeling (Optional)
  4. Deliver Summary
  5. Analyze the Codebase
  6. Calculate Development Hours
  7. Research Market Rates
  8. Calculate Organizational Overhead
  9. Calculate Full Team Cost
  10. Generate Cost Estimate
  11. AI ROI Analysis (Optional)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8088e1a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Finance Ops loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 133 tokens; SKILL.md has 571 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~133
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

AI Finance Ops

Two tools: CFO Briefing Generator and Codebase Cost Estimator.


Tool 1: CFO Briefing Generator

Generate executive financial summaries from QuickBooks exports.

Workflow
1. Ingest Files

Place QuickBooks export files (CSV, XLSX, XLS) in a working directory. Accepted report types (any subset works — P&L alone is sufficient):

  • P&L Summary — Revenue, COGS, expenses, net income (MOST IMPORTANT)
  • P&L by Customer — Revenue breakdown by client
  • P&L Detail — Transaction-level detail (XLSX)
  • Balance Sheet — Assets, liabilities, equity
  • General Ledger — All account transactions
  • Expenses by Vendor — Vendor-level expense breakdown
  • Transaction List by Vendor — Detailed vendor transactions
  • Bill Payments — AP payment history
  • Cash Flow Statement — Operating/investing/financing flows (XLSX)
  • Account List — Chart of accounts
2. Run Analysis
bash
python3 scripts/cfo-analyzer.py --input ./data/uploads/ [--period YYYY-MM]

Options:

  • --input DIR — Directory with QB exports
  • --period YYYY-MM — Override period label (default: auto-detected from files)
  • --history DIR — History directory for MoM comparison (default: ./data/history/)
  • --no-history — Skip saving to history

The script:

  1. Auto-detects file types by scanning headers
  2. Parses each file into structured data
  3. Computes all KPIs (see references/metrics-guide.md for definitions and healthy ranges)
  4. Loads prior period from history for MoM comparison
  5. Saves current period to history
  6. Outputs formatted executive summary to stdout
3. Scenario Modeling (Optional)

After running the CFO analysis, model base/bull/bear scenarios:

bash
python3 scripts/scenario-modeler.py --input ./data/financial-latest.json

This generates 12-month projections for:

  • Base case — current trajectory continues
  • Bull case — growth targets met (new product revenue + new clients)
  • Bear case — lose top clients
4. Deliver Summary

The script outputs a formatted briefing with emoji status indicators (🟢🟡🔴), suitable for Slack, email, or any messaging surface.

File Format Details

See references/quickbooks-formats.md for expected CSV/XLSX column formats and detection heuristics.

Metric Thresholds

See references/metrics-guide.md for healthy ranges, red/yellow/green thresholds, and benchmark context. Adjust thresholds for your business size and type.


Tool 2: Codebase Cost Estimator

Estimate full development cost of a codebase.

Workflow
Step 1: Analyze the Codebase

Read the entire codebase. Catalog total lines of code by language/type, architectural complexity, advanced features, testing coverage, and documentation quality.

Show full SKILL.md (221 more words)Show less
Step 2: Calculate Development Hours

Apply productivity rates from references/rates.md. Calculate base hours per code type, then apply overhead multipliers for architecture, debugging, review, docs, integration, and learning curve.

Step 3: Research Market Rates

Use web search to find current hourly rates for the relevant specializations. Build a rate table with low / median / high for the project's tech stack.

Step 4: Calculate Organizational Overhead

Convert raw dev hours to calendar time using efficiency factors from references/org-overhead.md. Show estimates across company types (Solo through Enterprise).

Step 5: Calculate Full Team Cost

Apply supporting role ratios and team multipliers from references/team-cost.md. Show role-by-role breakdown, plus summary across all company stages.

Step 6: Generate Cost Estimate

Output the full estimate using the template in references/output-template.md. Include all sections: codebase metrics, dev hours, calendar time, market rates, engineering cost, full team cost, grand total summary, and assumptions.

Step 7: AI ROI Analysis (Optional)

If the codebase was built with AI assistance, calculate value per AI hour using references/claude-roi.md. Determine active hours via git history clustering, calculate speed multiplier vs human developer, and compute cost savings and ROI.

Key Principles
  • Present professionally, suitable for stakeholders
  • Include confidence level (low/medium/high) and key assumptions
  • Highlight highest-complexity areas that drive cost
  • Always show ranges (low/avg/high), never a single number
  • Search for CURRENT year market rates, don't use stale data
