   Connecting Financial Tools and Planning Payroll

   “First, we'll connect our financial tools, QuickBooks and PayPal from the connectors panel on the left. Now, let's plan payroll. We'll use the slash command slash plan dash payroll. Claude will ask for your data sources and preferred format. We'll tell it to pull cash and timing from QuickBooks, and outstanding invoices from PayPal. Next, Cowork builds the forecast.”

   Feature Teaser

   Comprehensive Financial Analysis and Export

   “You'll see the full 90-day cash forecast, outstanding receivables, and the full 90-day picture. Once Claude's done, you'll see the analysis. Lastly, you can ask Claude to export to an Excel spreadsheet so you can dig in yourself. We've forecasted cash for 90 days. What used to be hours of pulling bank tabs and overdue invoices is now a 5-minute review, not guessing at it.”

   Used 4 tools All data collected. Now building the 90-day forecast and invoice dashboard. Cash on hand $16.9M As of May 8, 2026 Payroll coverage 260x Fully covered May 31 payroll (est.) ~$65K Based on April actuals Outstanding A/R $5.4M Uncollected 90-day cash forecast - May 8 through Aug 6 $250K $200K $150K $100K $50K $0 Feb 8-28 March April May 1-8 Payroll Repairs & maint.

Here's the summary for Keystone Terra: Cash position is extremely strong. You're sitting at $16.9M in cash today, and the May 31 payroll run estimated at $65K based on April actuals of $57,494 + taxes/benefits. A/R upside scenario assumes 50% of $5.4M collected within 90 days. The one thing worth watching is $5.4M in outstanding A/R. This is typical for construction - billings go out, project own day on their own cycle. But $5.4M building up over 90 days without collection means someone likely owes you significant sums. If half of that converts within the 90-day window, your cash position actually improves to over $19M. It keeps aging. It's worth triggering a formal collections push. Outstanding invoices to act on: QuickBooks shows $5.4M in A/R billings and a $100,154 intercompany balance due from Keystone Construction. PayPal has no pending invoices - the only recent activity was Invoice #0110 ($5,000) which was collected May 6. Would you like me to draft collection reminders for the outstanding A/R? I can pull the specific invoice-level detail from QuickBooks and stage tone-matched reminders for your approval before anything sends.

   Claude: Your New Employee

   “(No spoken dialogue — The music features a light, airy electronic score with pizzicato synths, a consistent sub-bass pulse, and subtle percussion. There are high-energy audio transitions at 0:08, 0:37, and 0:46, marked by a rising synth sweep and a gentle sub-bass impact. Another subtle riser is present at 1:22, leading into the recap. The overall sound design is clean and professional, supporting the informational content without being distracting.)”
