Prompt · 5 lines
Here is my profit and loss export for [PERIOD]. Explain it to me in plain English, as the owner, not an accountant. Start with the three biggest changes from [COMPARISON PERIOD], then list 5 questions I should ask my bookkeeper.

[PASTE P&L EXPORT]

Keep every fact and number. If a number is missing, say so. Don't invent a benchmark.
How to adapt it
  • Swap P&L for a balance sheet or a cash report. Keep the 'three biggest changes, then 5 questions' shape.
  • If you only have a PDF, say so and paste the text you can select.
Don't paste this in
  • Account or routing numbers
  • Customer or vendor names in memo lines
  • Use a business AI account, not a personal one, for company data.
