Your Project-Finance Agent

See The Money Clearly. Before The Quarter Ends.

Hand Penny the project’s numbers from the system you already use. She returns a clear read on budget, commitments, payments, outstanding balances, margin, and possible billing opportunities. Every figure points back to the data behind it.

ChatGPT + Claude VersionsGuided Self-InstallationHuman Reviews Everything

One-time purchase. Both platform versions, guided self-installation, and 30 days of AI-based support are included. Penny reviews. You decide. She never touches the books. Your software subscriptions are separate.

See Penny turn structured project-financial data into a clear, sourced review.
What Penny Does

From Scattered Numbers To A Review You Can Act On.

Penny starts with the numbers, not assumptions. Every conclusion stays tied to the project, the period, and the file it came from.

01 · DEFINE

Set The Review

Tell Penny the project, the as-of date, and whether the review is for your team or your client.

02 · RECONCILE

Follow The Evidence

Penny checks budgets, commitments, payments, pricing, duplicates, and exceptions before totals are combined.

03 · SURFACE

See What Needs Attention

See what the data supports, what needs attention first, where each number came from, and what Penny still cannot determine.

Five Review Modes

Choose The Financial Question In Front Of You.

01

Weekly Project Money Review

Review material changes, urgent exceptions, evidence gaps, and the next financial questions to resolve.

02

Project Profitability Check

Compare what the project earned against what it cost, with margin and markup kept honest and separate.

03

Vendor Payments & Commitments

Separate purchase orders, invoices, approvals, payments, and delivery evidence instead of treating them as interchangeable.

04

Client Billing Review

Surface possible billing opportunities for source verification without sending invoices or exposing internal financial details.

05

Financial Closeout

Report whether the project appears ready, not ready, or has insufficient evidence for closeout review.

Quarterly reviews stop being fire drills because nothing builds up.

The Human-Led Standard

The Review Gets Clearer. The Responsibility Stays Human.

Penny is an independent project-finance analyst, not your bookkeeper, accountant, procurement operator, or payment approver.

She reviews the data you provide, explains what supports each conclusion, and makes missing information visible. Your team confirms the source facts and decides what happens next.

Read-Only By DefaultPenny does not modify records, post journal entries, initiate payments, or grant access.
No Invented CompletenessMissing data gets called missing. Penny never fills a gap or treats an empty cell as zero.
Client-Safe BoundariesVendor costs, markup, margin, profitability, and internal notes stay out of client-facing output.
Verified Claims OnlyPenny works from the export you give her. Live connections and scheduled reviews are a separate setup, not a promise on this page.
Why I Built Penny

I Did Not Want To Find Out In March.

For years, the real financial picture of a project showed up at the end, when it was too late to do anything about it. Retainers drifted. Markup got applied inconsistently. A vendor got paid twice and nobody noticed for a quarter. I am a former lawyer who runs a design firm. I can read a spreadsheet. I just do not have time to read all of them every week.

Penny reads them for me. She tells me which projects are healthy, which are drifting, and which number she could not verify. She does not touch the books, pay anyone, or guess. She gives me the Monday-morning version of the truth so the quarterly review is a formality, not a fire drill.

The Practical Questions

Before You Review With Penny.

Where does Penny live?

Inside a private ChatGPT Project or as a Claude custom skill. Penny is a manual, on-demand conversational skill rather than another separate daily login.

What does Penny need to begin?

A project name or ID, report period or as-of date, structured CSV or Excel export, reporting currency, output audience, and field definitions when headings are ambiguous.

Does Penny connect live to my financial systems?

Not by default. Penny version 1 works from supported structured exports. Any live connector must be separately configured and verified before it is described as available.

Does Penny replace my accountant or bookkeeper?

No. Penny organizes and reviews supplied project-financial evidence. She does not provide accounting, tax, or legal advice or certify accounting completeness.

Can Penny send an invoice or pay a vendor?

No. Penny can surface a possible billing or payment question for human verification, but she does not send invoices, approve or initiate payments, or modify source records.

What happens when data is missing?

Penny reports the conclusion as not determinable, identifies the missing evidence, and avoids treating absence as zero unless source completeness proves zero activity.

What support is included?

Thirty days of AI-based setup and usage support are included. A human steps in when the issue genuinely needs judgment. Done-for-you implementation is separate.

Are software subscriptions included?

No. The $795 purchase includes both Penny versions, guided self-installation, and the stated support. ChatGPT, Claude, spreadsheet, accounting, and other software plans remain separate.

What does Joy Street Initiative do?

Joy Street Initiative transforms shelters, transitional homes, and recovery spaces for women and families rebuilding their lives. During launch, 50% of every agent purchase supports its work. After launch, 25% of every AJS implementation continues that support.
