Quick answer

Hand your bank statements, budget sheets and cash history to the finance skills that run locally in Nexus Runner: Bank Reconciler matches amounts, dates and reference text, Budget Sentinel computes variance and flags over-budget lines, Cashflow Radar projects 30/60/90 days, and Comps Review Critic derives an implied valuation range from peer multiples. Every step reads the Excel files you already have and writes back structured, line-by-line results on your own Windows machine.

  • This page uses only six skills already in the library: Bank Reconciler, Budget Sentinel, Cashflow Radar, Comps Review Critic, Market Feed and Stock Radar, all called from Nexus Runner 1.0.10.
  • Inputs are the spreadsheets you already keep: bank statement plus internal ledger, budget versus actual spending, historical cash movements, and peer company financials.
  • Outputs are structured rows: matched and unmatched transactions, over-budget items grouped by department with threshold alerts, 30/60/90-day cash forecasts with confidence intervals, and EV/EBITDA, EV/Revenue and P/E multiples with an implied valuation range.
  • Pricing is per call in Nex: Bank Reconciler 10, Budget Sentinel 10, Cashflow Radar 5, Market Feed 5, Stock Radar 3, Comps Review Critic 3. The free tier gives 200 Nex per month, reset at the start of each month.
  • Windows 10/11 x64 only. Spreadsheets are processed on your machine; only Market Feed and Stock Radar go online, to public market data sources.

What automatic finance extraction from Excel actually means

Automatic extraction here means a program reads the amount, date, reference, and account columns of your sheet, applies fixed rules to match and calculate, and writes the result back as new tables, instead of a person reading and copying row by row. MCP Nexus packages each finance action as a callable skill inside Nexus Runner 1.0.10: pick the file, map the columns, run it. Bank Reconciler handles statement-to-ledger matching, Budget Sentinel handles budget versus actual variance, Cashflow Radar handles the 30/60/90-day outlook, Comps Review Critic handles peer multiples and implied valuation, and Market Feed and Stock Radar bring in outside market context. The skill process executes on your own Windows PC, and the Excel files and intermediate results stay on your local disk.

From one spreadsheet to a report you can check, in five steps

1Step 1
Install Nexus Runner and lay out the files
Install Nexus Runner 1.0.10 on Windows 10/11 x64 and keep the workbooks anywhere on the machine. Bank Reconciler needs the bank statement and the internal ledger, Budget Sentinel needs a budget column and an actual spending column, Cashflow Radar needs a history of dated amounts, and Comps Review Critic needs financials for a set of comparable companies.
2Step 2
Run Bank Reconciler first to square the statement
Bank Reconciler matches on exact or fuzzy amounts, with an optional date window and reference text comparison, and returns matched and unmatched lines in a multi-sheet reconciliation report. The unmatched rows are the ones a person still has to confirm, and each keeps its original fields so you can trace it back. About 10 Nex per run.
3Step 3
Run Budget Sentinel to surface the overruns
Budget Sentinel compares the budget column against actual spending item by item, computes variance in both absolute and percentage terms, flags over-budget entries, groups results by department and raises threshold alerts. It fits monthly or quarterly reviews and hands you the list of lines that need an explanation. About 10 Nex per run.
4Step 4
Run Cashflow Radar to look 90 days ahead
Cashflow Radar forecasts 30, 60 and 90-day horizons from your historical cash movements, with a category breakdown and confidence intervals, so you can see which stretch of the quarter looks tight. It is a projection from past data rather than a promise, so read it alongside what you know about the business. About 5 Nex per run.
5Step 5
Add valuation and market context when the work calls for it
Comps Review Critic takes a peer set, computes EV/EBITDA, EV/Revenue and P/E with median and mean statistics, applies the median multiples to the target's metrics to derive an implied valuation range, and writes a next-actions file for review sign-off. Market Feed pulls the latest news by category, covering general, forex, crypto and merger, and Stock Radar searches US, HK and CN listings by symbol or company name. Valuation output is not an investment opinion and must be reviewed by a qualified professional.

The same spreadsheet, three ways to work it

MCP NexusManual workGeneric cloud AI
Where the data goesSkills run inside Nexus Runner on your PC and the workbook is never uploaded; only Market Feed and Stock Radar reach public market sourcesData stays local, but every row is opened and handled by a personUsually the sheet has to be uploaded or pasted into a third-party service first
How the work is doneColumns are read by name and processed by fixed rules, so the same input yields the same outputCopy-paste, manual filters and one-off formulas, with the rules living in someone's habitsFree-form reasoning over text, where long tables get truncated and runs vary
What you get backMatched and unmatched lines, variance and over-budget flags, forecast ranges and multiple statistics, written straight to spreadsheet filesScattered across temporary sheets and notes that are hard to hand overMostly chat text that still has to be rebuilt into a table
AuditabilityEvery stage keeps its detail rows, so a figure traces back to the original transactionThe trail depends on the operator's memory and often has to be redoneIntermediate steps are invisible, so line-by-line checking is hard

Real use cases

Month-end bank reconciliation
Feed in the bank statement and the internal ledger, map the amount, date and reference columns, and Bank Reconciler matches on exact and fuzzy amounts within a date window and by reference text, returning a multi-sheet report of matched and unmatched lines that doubles as the manual check list.
One run covers exact amount, fuzzy amount, date window and reference text matching
Departmental budget review
Feed in a workbook holding budget and actual spending columns, and Budget Sentinel returns the variance amount and percentage for each line, flags the over-budget entries, groups them by department and raises alerts against your threshold, leaving a short list of accounts that need commentary.
About 10 Nex per call, returning both department rollups and line-level variance
Cash and valuation monthly pack
Start with Cashflow Radar for a 30/60/90-day projection and category breakdown of historical cash movements, then use Comps Review Critic for peer EV/EBITDA, EV/Revenue and P/E multiples and the implied valuation range, and close with Market Feed for general and merger news as background.

FAQ

Can finance data in Excel really be extracted automatically?

Yes. Point the finance skills in Nexus Runner at the workbook: Bank Reconciler reads the statement and ledger to match them, Budget Sentinel reads budget and actual columns to compute variance, Cashflow Radar reads cash history for a 30/60/90-day forecast, and Comps Review Critic reads peer financials for multiples. Skills read fields by column name, so no fixed template, formula or macro is required.

Is my ledger data uploaded to the cloud?

No. Skills execute inside Nexus Runner on your own machine, and the Excel files and intermediate results stay on your local disk. Only the two skills that fetch outside information go online, Market Feed for market news and Stock Radar for listed instruments, and they query public market sources without sending your spreadsheet content.

How much Nex does one reconciliation cost, and is the free tier enough?

Bank Reconciler is 10 Nex per run, Budget Sentinel 10, Cashflow Radar 5, Market Feed 5, and Stock Radar and Comps Review Critic 3 each. The free tier gives 200 Nex a month, reset at the start of each month, which covers a monthly reconciliation plus a budget review. Heavier use fits Pro at CNY 49/month with 3000 Nex or Enterprise at CNY 299/month with 50000 Nex.

Does it run on Mac or Linux?

Windows 10/11 x64 only. Nexus Runner is currently version 1.0.10 and there is no build for other operating systems, and it does not drive other applications through screen recording or simulated clicks.

Can I use the valuation from Comps Review Critic as is?

No, not as a final figure. Comps Review Critic produces an implied valuation range from median peer multiples plus a next-actions file for sign-off. That is a calculation, not a valuation opinion, and both the peer set and the conclusion must be reviewed by a qualified professional.
