Finance & Accounting Index

Measures performance on capabilities that matter most for finance and accounting work, including business and finance knowledge, reasoning, agentic execution, long-context reading, non-hallucinated reporting, and instruction following. Weights are derived from the relative frequency of those capabilities across the top tasks performed by finance and accounting professionals.

The Artificial Analysis Finance & Accounting Index combines performance across Intelligence benchmarks sliced for finance and accounting tasks. Weights follow how often each capability appears in example tasks for the vertical, using occupational task groupings (O*NET-style).

This composite metric prevents narrow specialization and provides a single score for tracking model performance across finance and accounting tasks.

Each capability sub-score is normalised to a 0-100 scale, then combined using the weights below. All underlying benchmarks are run independently by Artificial Analysis. See our Intelligence Benchmarking Methodology for how evaluations are conducted.

Most attractive quadrant

There is a trade-off between model quality and output speed, with higher intelligence models typically having lower output speed.

Tokens per second received while the model is generating tokens (ie. after first chunk has been received from the API for models which support streaming).

While higher intelligence models are typically more expensive, they do not all follow the same price-quality curve.

Token Usage

Finance & Accounting Index: Output Token Composition

Tokens used to run the evaluation

The total number of tokens used to run the evaluation, including input tokens (prompt), reasoning tokens (for reasoning models), and answer tokens (final response).

Cost

Finance & Accounting Index: Cost Breakdown

Cost (USD) to run the evaluation

The cost to run the evaluation, calculated using the model's input and output token pricing and the number of tokens used.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Finance & Accounting Index is a composite benchmark from Artificial Analysis that measures performance on capabilities that matter most for finance and accounting work, including business and finance knowledge, reasoning, agentic execution, long-context reading, non-hallucinated reporting, and instruction following. Weights are derived from the relative frequency of those capabilities across the top tasks performed by finance and accounting professionals.

The Finance & Accounting Index is calculated as a weighted average of capability sub-scores, each normalised to a 0–100 scale. The sub-scores and their weights are: Business & Finance Knowledge (30%), Reasoning (25%), Agentic (20%), Long-Context (10%), Non-Hallucination (10%), and Instruction Following (5%).

The Finance & Accounting Index includes AA-Omniscience Business Accuracy, HLE, GDPval-AA v2, LCR, AA-Omniscience Non-Hallucination, and IFBench.

Claude Fable 5 (Adaptive Reasoning, Max Effort, Opus 4.8 Fallback) currently has the highest Finance & Accounting Index score, with a score of 60 among models with published results. View model

A higher Finance & Accounting Index score indicates stronger overall performance across the benchmarks that make up the index. For a specific use case, individual benchmark results may be more informative than the composite score.
