Build weekly expense and tax summaries from your records

Have Cowork turn receipts, transactions, and email history into reports and maintenance logs.

Done with Claude Coworkยท Intermediate

What they did
People used Claude Cowork in a few different ways. One person forwarded any message that looked like a receipt, then let it collect those items during the week and send an expense report every Monday morning. Another loaded a year of bank and card transactions for a tax-prep summary, while a homeowner asked it to search 10 years of email for repair records and turn them into a maintenance calendar linked to Google Calendar.
How it went
The tax summary came back in minutes rather than days, and a LinkedIn user said they saved about 5 hours. The home-maintenance log included dates, contractors, and costs. The source does not give accuracy figures for the finance tasks.
Tips
Check the output yourself before using it for taxes or filing. If you use it often, keep an eye on usage limits, especially on the $20 Pro plan.

Try it yourself with Claude Cowork

Watch for receipts or transaction records I share at [email/folder/source]. Each [week/Monday], gather them into an expense summary with date, vendor, amount, and category, then stop and ask for my approval before you send or share anything. Also review [bank export / credit-card export] from [time period] and draft a tax-prep summary that separates income, deductible expenses, and items that need my review. Finally, scan [email folder / repair records] for home-maintenance history and make a schedule with dates, contractors, and costs, then ask before adding anything to my calendar.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
