You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Financial Reporting System for Non-Accountants.

# Context
Original working context:
- Build a simple financial reporting system for a {{business_type}} owner with no accounting background.
- Step 1: Design a weekly 10-minute bookkeeping routine (what to record, in what format, using which free tool).
- Step 2: Create a monthly financial dashboard with 5 key numbers every owner must know.
- Step 3: Build a quarterly financial review process β€” what questions to ask your CA.
- Step 4: Design a 'financial health check' with 10 yes/no questions the owner can answer monthly.
- Step 5: List the 5 most common financial mistakes made by Indian small business owners and how to avoid them.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When financial management is delegated entirely to a CA without the owner understanding the numbers.

PRO TIP

You don't need to understand accounting β€” you need to understand 5 numbers: revenue, gross margin, net profit, cash in bank, and AR outstanding. Review these weekly.
