Professional Finance
How to use Computer to deliver finished models, memos, and client briefs that hold up to review, with every output linked back to its original source.
Key Things Covered
Move from answers to finished work
Computer goes past chat-style responses and delivers completed Excel models, IC memos, client briefs, and earnings reports, with every number linked back to the filing, transcript, or dataset behind it.
Run research that holds up to review
Pull from 40+ live finance tools and trusted sources like SEC, FactSet, S&P Global, Nasdaq, and NYSE, with no setup or API keys, so teams can build positions, memos, and recommendations on current market data.
Bring in the firm's own data
Connect licensed sources like Morningstar, PitchBook, FactSet, Daloopa, and Carbon Arc through MCP, so subagents reason over proprietary research and internal context alongside the open web.
Run continuous workflows, not one-off prompts
Schedule background jobs that monitor catalysts, check client portfolios every morning, and flag material moves, then route the work into Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, and Teams without breaking context.
Summary
Finance teams have always needed more than an answer. Diligence, client work, and portfolio decisions depend on the reasoning, the underlying data, and the source material that carries through the rest of the workflow.
Perplexity Computer delivers that by orchestrating AI agents across 20+ frontier models, files, tools, memory, and the open web to run complex finance workflows end to end, from earnings analysis and catalyst tracking to data room review, IC memos, and personalized client briefs.
This guide shows hedge fund, private equity, and wealth management teams practical ways to plug Computer into the workflows they already run, so research, diligence, and client work happen faster, with every output traceable to the original source.
