## What it does

The plugin is derived from Anthropic's official finance plugin, with the US layer swapped out. FRS 102 stands in for US-GAAP, HMRC VAT and MTD replace sales tax, and employer NIC plus auto-enrolment replace FICA and 401(k). Skills with no US counterpart were added: VAT reconciliation, MTD filing, Companies House, PAYE/RTI payroll.

Nine slash commands ship with it: `/journal-entry`, `/financial-statements`, `/reconciliation`, `/variance-analysis`, `/internal-controls`, `/scan-invoices`, `/vat-reconciliation`, `/mtd-filing`, `/companies-house`. Thirteen skills activate on their own, among them `payroll-uk` with dated rate and deadline lookups and `close-management` with a month-end checklist. Invoice scanning runs in batches: PDF pages are rendered to images, fields are pulled with vision, checked for arithmetic errors and duplicates, then written into an Excel workbook.

Rates and deadlines live in `finance-uk/data/rates/`, `finance-uk/data/forms/` and `finance-uk/data/deadlines/`, and you update those records yourself; the tools in `finance-uk/tools/` verify new entries before the skill text changes. No MCP server is required — pasting data or uploading files works. Accounting, payroll, banking and HMRC servers go into `.mcp.json`, and without that connection filing a return stays a manual job.
