Input is a directory of receipts (PDF, images), card/bank statements, and any expense exports (.csv/.xlsx). Never invent an amount -- every number in the output traces to a source file.</p>\n<h2>Workflow</h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Inventory.</strong> Catalog every file: receipts, statements, exports, and unclassifiable items. Note date ranges covered. If statements and receipts cover different periods, say so up front.</li>\n<li><strong>Extract transactions.</strong> Build a master ledger from the statements/exports: date, merchant, amount, currency. From each receipt: merchant, date, total, tax, payment method, line items when legible.</li>\n<li><strong>Reconcile.</strong> Match receipts to statement lines (exact amount+date first, then fuzzy within 3 days and small tip/FX variance). Output three lists: matched, statement lines with no receipt, receipts with no statement line.</li>\n<li><strong>Categorize</strong> every transaction (meals, travel, software, equipment, client entertainment, etc.). Use the company's category list if provided; otherwise propose one and apply it consistently. Tag anything client-billable separately.</li>\n<li><strong>Flag.</strong> Apply the policy if provided; otherwise apply defaults and label them as defaults: duplicate charges, weekend/holiday spend on business cards, round-number amounts, per-transaction limits exceeded, subscriptions appearing monthly with no owner, personal-looking merchants, and split transactions that dodge an approval threshold.</li>\n<li><strong>Report.</strong> Write <code>expense-report.xlsx</code>-ready CSV (or .xlsx if the xlsx skill is available) with the full categorized ledger, plus <code>audit-findings.md</code>: totals by category, reconciliation gaps, flagged items each with severity and the specific source file cited, and a missing-documentation list to chase.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Rules</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Never fabricate or estimate amounts. An unreadable receipt is logged as unreadable, not guessed.</li>\n<li>Flags are questions, not accusations. Write \"no receipt located for...\" not \"unauthorized spend.\"</li>\n<li>Keep personal card statements strictly scoped: extract only lines the user identifies as business expenses; do not summarize personal activity.</li>\n<li>Show your matching: every matched pair cites both source files; every unmatched item says what was searched.</li>\n<li>Currency: preserve the original currency and note the statement's settled amount; never silently convert.</li>\n<li>If more than 20% of transactions lack receipts, lead the findings memo with that fact -- it is the finding.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Scheduled Mode</h2>\n<p>As a monthly Cowork scheduled task pointed at a receipts inbox folder: process new files, append to the running ledger, and deliver the month's report and findings without re-litigating prior months.</p>\n<h2>Quick Commands</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\"Audit [folder]\" -- full workflow</li>\n<li>\"Reconcile only\" -- steps 1-3, the matching report</li>\n<li>\"What's missing?\" -- unmatched statement lines and the chase list</li>\n<li>\"Billable pull\" -- client-billable transactions grouped by client</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":3412,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
