What's the practical difference between using Claude and Perplexity for accounting and research work?

A member described using Perplexity as a broad and deep research tool, calling it 'amazing as a research analyst,' while noting they don't think Claude has that same research capability. As a result, they use the two tools for different purposes -- Perplexity for research, and Claude (particularly via the Excel add-in) for tasks like generating financial statements and building macros.
