The Finance Engineer Course

Learn Claude Code the way finance people actually work — six interactive modules taught by Claude itself, using realistic Slack threads, inboxes, meeting notes, and a general ledger with problems hidden in it.

Built by the team at Till CFO, who run their firm on these exact patterns.

Two ways to take it — pick one

Recommended

The desktop app

No terminal involved. Best for most people.

  1. Download the Claude Code desktop app (Mac/Windows) at claude.com/claude-code and sign in.
  2. Open it and choose a folder to work in — Documents is fine.
  3. Paste these, one at a time:
    In Claude Code — paste one line at a time
    /plugin marketplace add Till-CFO/finance-engineer-course
/plugin install finance-engineer-course@finance-engineer-course
/start-1-1
  4. That last one starts Module 1 — Claude takes it from there.

The terminal

If you're comfortable in one (or curious).

  1. Install the Claude Code CLI per claude.com/claude-code, then type claude in a terminal to confirm it runs.
  2. From any folder you'd like to work in, type claude.
  3. Run the same three commands shown on the left.

New to terminals? There's a step-by-step walkthrough — about 5 minutes, written for people who've never opened one.

The course is identical on both paths — it adapts its instructions to where you're running it.

Also in the box

/gl-review — a real, reusable skill

A first-pass general ledger review you can run on actual work: duplicates, miscodings, revenue-recognition flags, unexplained spikes — ranked, with client-ready questions. It's the Module 6 exercise, productized.

What You Can Build

A catalog of the patterns the Till CFO team runs internally — morning briefs, close checklists, reconciliation helpers, delegation trackers — as inspiration for what you build after Module 5.

Every company and person in the course scenarios — Meridian Finance Partners, Brightline Ventures, and everyone who works there — is fictional, so you can practice on realistic material without anyone's real data.
