Claude Launches 10 Ready-to-Run Finance Agents: From Pitchbooks to KYC Screening

From Pitchbooks to KYC: AI Agents Built for Finance

Anthropic has launched 10 ready-to-run Claude agent templates designed specifically for financial services professionals. The agents tackle time-intensive work—building investment pitches, screening KYC compliance files, and closing the books at month-end—and can be deployed as Claude plugins in Cowork or Code, or run programmatically as Managed Agents for automated workflows.

Two Categories, Five Agents Each

The templates are organized into research and operations workstreams. Research and Client Coverage agents include: Pitch Builder, Meeting Preparer, Earnings Reviewer, Model Builder, and Market Researcher. Finance and Operations agents include: Valuation Reviewer, General Ledger Reconciler, Month-End Closer, Statement Auditor, and KYC Screener. Each template bundles domain-specific instructions, governed data connectors, and specialized sub-agents into a deployable unit.

Opus 4.7 Leads Industry on Finance Benchmark

Claude Opus 4.7 achieves 64.37% on Vals AI's Finance Agent benchmark, ranking first in the industry for financial tasks. The launch also brings eight new data connectors—including Dun & Bradstreet, Fiscal AI, Financial Modeling Prep, IBISWorld, and Verisk—alongside a Moody's MCP app providing access to credit ratings and data on over 600 million companies.

Microsoft 365 Integration Included

Claude add-ins for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word are available at launch, with an Outlook integration coming soon. The templates bring Anthropic into direct competition with traditional financial consulting and specialized fintech tools, targeting work that currently occupies junior analysts for hours per task.
