20 free copy-paste prompts for ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI chat tool — plus 70 more advanced prompts for Tools Club members. Built for small business owners doing their own books, not accounting firms.
Fill in every bracket
Text like [business type] or [paste] is a placeholder. Replace the whole bracket with your real details before sending the prompt.
Give it real numbers, not vague ones
"My revenue is around $8,000/month" gets a far more useful answer than "my revenue is decent." The more specific your input, the more useful the output.
Always verify the numbers yourself
AI is fast at organizing and drafting, but it can make mistakes with math and tax rules. Treat every answer as a first draft to check, not a final answer.
Mask sensitive data before pasting
Strip out account numbers, SSNs, and full customer names where you can — replace them with placeholders like "Customer A" before pasting real records into any AI tool.
Ask a follow-up instead of starting over
If the first answer is close but not quite right, reply with "make it shorter" or "assume a service business, not retail" instead of rewriting the whole prompt.
