# Advancing Claude for Financial Services

# Claim

We're expanding Claude for Financial Services with an Excel add-in, additional connectors to real-time market data and portfolio analytics, and new pre-built Agent Skills, like building discounted cash flow models and initiating coverage reports. These updates build on Sonnet 4.5’s state of the art performance on financial tasks, topping the Finance Agent.

# Relevance

Appendix III, section one: model and benchmark capability evidence

# Oracle Verdict

Anthropic is describing a frontier or production capability that pushes directly on the thesis. The important signal is not the marketing language; it is the widening set of tasks now being routed through model-driven execution rather than ordinary software or headcount.
