Turn forwarded receipts and bank data into expense and tax summaries

Users report Cowork building a Monday expense report from forwarded receipts and a tax-prep summary from a year of transactions, plus home maintenance logs.

What they did
The article collects user reports. One user forwards anything resembling a receipt, and Cowork stores them through the week and emails an expense report every Monday morning. Another downloaded a year of bank and credit-card transactions and gave them to Cowork for an annual tax-prep summary. A homeowner had it go through 10 years of email for repairs and build a maintenance schedule synced to Google Calendar.
How it went
The tax summary arrived in minutes instead of days, and a LinkedIn user reported about 5 hours saved. The home log captured dates, contractors and costs. The source gives no accuracy figures for the finance tasks.
Worth knowing
Skim the output before relying on it: a related file-renaming test got only about 70% of names right, and heavy agentic use can hit the weekly cap on the $20 Pro plan.

Try it yourself with Claude Cowork

Every Monday, collect the receipts I forwarded to [email/folder] and build an expense report spreadsheet with date, vendor, amount and category. Also take [bank export file or folder] covering [year] and write a tax-prep summary of income, deductible expenses and anything unclear. Finish by listing the receipts that need my review, and don't send the report to anyone without asking me.
