For Advertising & PR Agencies

Your AI can run your agency's books. Really.

Add the FinStat connector to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok Build, or Claude Desktop with Cowork. Then drop in your retainer invoices, vendor bills, bank and Visa statements, and it hands you a review-ready P&L, every transaction tied to its source.

Point your AI at a folder like this and say “run my books.”

Reconciled to the penny. Then ask your AI anything about your books.

Pick your setup. Books in minutes.

FinStat needs an AI that can open files or folders on your computer — not just a connector in Settings. Seeing FinStat’s tools is not the same as FinStat being able to access the files you want it to.

Setups that can reach your files

Claude Code

verified on Windows

Reads the folder you launch it in

Run thisclaude mcp add --transport http finstat https://mcp.finstat.ai/mcp

Open Claude Code in the folder that holds your documents.
Run the command above — it installs FinStat directly, no prompting needed.
Sign in when the browser opens — your free 1M tokens load automatically.
Ask it to run your books on the files in that folder.

You don’t need real statements or documents to learn FinStat. Say “Run FinStat Tutorial” or “Get Started” — your AI can make sample documents and walk you through all of it.

Working in a browser tab?

To run books, use a desktop AI that can reach your files. Browser chat alone isn’t enough for FinStat — even if FinStat appears under your connectors.

It really is that easy.

What is MCP?

The parts that eat your evening. FinStat catches every one.

PAIN_01

Retainer, project, and 50/50 deposit revenue all blur together — each client deposit has to be matched back to the right invoice and milestone

PAIN_02

Pass-through media buys and a 1099 freelance designer mix into the same checking account as real overhead

PAIN_03

Owner draws and Gusto payroll only show up on the bank statement — no payroll reports to reconcile against

The catch other tools miss

It ties the $6,200 Carolina Dental rebrand to its two matching $3,100 deposits and the deposit receipt, then flags that April's $1,600 check to freelancer Finn Delaney has no bill in the folder — and that deposits referencing invoices 1041, 1042, and 1038 have no matching invoice PDF at all.

Three steps. Every one secure.

Connect once.

Paste the FinStat connector into your AI host (Claude, Cursor, etc.). Sign in — your free tokens load. No card. Then say: help me get started.

Scoped sign-inYou authenticate with FinStat — your AI never handles your password, and the connector is scoped to the accounting task.

Hand over the documents.

Give your AI your statements, payouts, receipts, and bills — attach them, or on a setup that reads folders, point it at one: run my books on the files in this folder.

Task-scoped dataYour statements are used only to do the job you asked for — not sold, not shared.

Ask for any report.

“Give me a P&L.” “Reconcile May.” “Show every uncategorized transaction.” Review-ready accounting output, in chat.

Nothing off-screenEvery transaction, entry, and assumption shows up in the conversation — your session is the working record, so you can question any number and correct it on the spot.

Built by the BadBank.ai team — the same people who have been turning financial PDFs into accounting data since 2024.
