Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agentic desktop tool, and it works fundamentally differently from ChatGPT and Claude chat interfaces most accountants may already know. Where chat answers questions, Cowork completes tasks: it reads and edits your actual files, connects to Google Drive, Gmail, and Excel, runs multi-step workflows, and delivers finished deliverables (reconciliations, variance reports, client letters, organized folders) not just suggestions.

In this webinar, you'll walk through every layer of Cowork: how the agentic loop works, where it fits across the close and audit cycle, how to connect it to your data sources, and how to govern it safely with human-in-the-loop controls. You'll leave with a practical 90-day roadmap and the prompting mindset shift (from describing steps to describing outcomes) that unlocks Cowork's full value.

By the end of this webinar, you should be able to: distinguish between Claude Chat and Claude Cowork and identify which tool is appropriate for specific accounting tasks; describe how Cowork's agentic loop (plan, execute, review) completes multi-step accounting workflows without manual hand-holding; apply the deliverable mindset by writing goal-first prompts that produce finished outputs such as reconciliations, variance summaries, and client letters; configure Cowork connectors to Google Drive, Gmail, and Excel and scope access appropriately to protect sensitive financial data; implement human-in-the-loop controls, including check-ins, folder-level access limits, and mandatory review steps, to manage risk in agentic workflows; and design a 90-day Cowork adoption roadmap covering pilot, proof-of-value, and firm-wide scaling phases.
