Claude Cowork
An audit that catches mislabeled books
Business owner Viveka Von Rosen gave Claude Cowork access to her tax-prep folder, accounting software, and Stripe, then let it cross-check 2025 and 2026 records. She reports it found deposits that were not income, uncompensated VA hours never invoiced, and roughly $6,000 in additional deductions, a figure she stresses is her own and not independently audited.

Try it · based on the source's workflow
Cross-check my books for [year]: compare deposits in [accounting software] against [payment records] and my tax folder [folder]. Flag deposits that are not income, hours worked but never invoiced (check [time tracker or contracts]), and deductible expenses I may have missed, each with the record it came from. Do not change or file anything: give me a findings list with amounts and evidence so my accountant and I can verify.
