Which AI tools help with accounting and financial analysis?

For financial analysis, put the AI inside the spreadsheet. Claude for Excel, an add-in that comes with Claude Pro ($17 a month billed yearly, $20 monthly), explains formula chains across a workbook, debugs errors, and builds or fills models without leaving Excel; Microsoft 365 Personal at ₹6,899 a year puts Copilot in Excel instead. For one-off analysis, upload a statement or an export to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and ask for variances, ratios or a chart, then check every number against the source. For the books themselves in India, Zoho Books has a free plan for micro businesses with GST reports and filing and bank reconciliation, and Standard at ₹749 per organisation a month billed yearly; TallyPrime, the Bengaluru-built accounting software, now sells itself as AI-powered. AI drafts and checks the work, and a qualified accountant still signs it. Rule: Claude or Copilot in Excel for analysis, Zoho Books or Tally for the ledger.
