Title: [Tool] Excel Analyst Pro - Build DCF models in minutes with Claude Code
I built a Claude Code plugin for financial modeling that uses auto-invoked Skills:
- DCF Modeler: Build discounted cash flow models
- LBO Modeler: Leveraged buyout analysis with IRR
- Variance Analyzer: Automate budget vs actual reporting
- Pivot Wizard: Natural language pivot tables
Key differentiator: Skills auto-invoke based on your natural language (no slash commands needed). Just say "Create a DCF model for Tesla" and it builds a professional 4-sheet Excel model.
Everything processes locally (no cloud upload), and it's free/open source.
