How it works

From your books to a dashboard in four steps

Connect your accounting system once. After that, ask for a dashboard whenever you need one. Kipper pulls the latest figures from your books. Claude or ChatGPT turns them into the dashboard.

  • You approve the connection the first time you open it.
  • Each person who opens it sees only what their own access allows.
  • It needs a paid Claude plan, on the web or desktop app.
  • In ChatGPT, ask again, and it's rebuilt with today's figures.

Follow-up questions

Change the dashboard by asking

Add a panel, change a chart, or cut it down to what you check. Here's one conversation, in order.

Add a panel for who owes us.

Added. Customers owe you $286,400, and $41,800 of it is more than 30 days late.

Make the cash chart weekly.

Rebuilt with eight weekly bars. Cash rose in 6 of the eight weeks.

Compare it with the same month last year.

Added a column. Revenue is up 14% on last August, and net profit is up 44%.

Keep just the four numbers I check every Monday.

Done. Cash, revenue, net profit and late invoices, on one screen.

FAQ

Financial dashboard questions

What people ask before they connect their books.

It's one screen with the numbers that show how the business is doing, like cash, revenue, profit and who owes you. It's built for a quick read. Most people check it weekly or monthly.
Most start with cash in the bank, revenue, profit and money owed to you. Then add whatever you check often, like your biggest costs or revenue by category. Ask for any of it, and it's added.
It's the short list of figures a CFO or owner checks first. That's usually revenue, profit, cash and late invoices, each against the month before. The CFO dashboard on this page came from one prompt.
In Claude, yes. A published dashboard pulls fresh figures from your books each time it's opened. That needs a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise), on the web or desktop app. In ChatGPT, ask again, and it's rebuilt with today's figures.
Yes. In Claude, a shared dashboard uses each viewer's own access, so people only see the figures they're allowed to see. You can also copy the numbers into an email or a document.
Yes, all three. Cash, the P&L, invoices and bills come from each. QuickBooks and NetSuite also produce a formal cash flow statement. Xero doesn't, so on Xero the cash panels use your bank balances.
It does the same job, by a different route. Dashboard software is a tool you log into and build in. Here, you describe the dashboard to Claude or ChatGPT, and you change it by asking.
Yes. Ask for gross margin, net profit margin or any other KPI, and it's worked out from your real figures. For a monthly write-up instead of a dashboard, see management reporting with Claude or ChatGPT.
Whoever you choose. Access is scoped per person, so someone can see revenue and costs while the customer ledger stays with finance. They ask from Claude or ChatGPT, a tool they already know.
You need a plan that lets you connect external tools through Model Context Protocol. That's where Kipper appears. Check your assistant's current plan details, since both vendors change what's included from time to time.
Kipper is read-only by architecture, not by a setting someone could switch off. It returns records and reports. Creating, editing and approving stay in your accounting system. Queries are logged, so you can see who asked what, and when.
The same whichever assistant you ask from. See the pricing page.
