Produce enriched Excel files and a reporting slideshow with Claude, in an accounting firm

Use described publicly by Altanum — Vincent Lacomme, expert-comptable (21 April 2026), summarised by the desk. Not tested by iadujour.

The result to aim for

Vincent Lacomme, an accountant and auditor, has been generating Excel files (formules, formatting, graphics) in Claude since September 2025, and is transforming a written meeting report into a PowerPoint slideshow to his charter.

What was done

Interview published on April 21, 2026 on Altanum. He turned to Claude on the advice of a fellow trainer (Julien Catanese Aubier), for professional prose. Rupture cited: file generation Excel enriched, "this was not possible at this point before." Daily use: voice transcription of meetings then presentation Claude / PowerPoint, "without manual editing" once the charter skill is in place. "Claude produces complete Word documents in three minutes. I then spend half an hour reading and refining. It also creates local tools (file cleaning, data logging) via Claude Code, offline for use. It recalls US hosting and anonymization.
