The Artificial Analysis Finance & Accounting Index combines performance across Intelligence benchmarks sliced for finance and accounting tasks. We map common tasks from O*NET occupational classifications, then select benchmarks that represent this real-world work. Weights are derived from how often capabilities appear across those tasks.

This composite metric provides a single score for tracking model performance across finance and accounting tasks. All underlying benchmarks are run independently by Artificial Analysis. See our Intelligence Benchmarking Methodology for how evaluations are conducted.

Representative Workflows

Real-world workflows that exercise the capabilities the Finance & Accounting Index weights most heavily.

Financial analysis & reportingBusiness KnowledgeReasoningLong-ContextNon-Hallucination

Example: Build a same-day EBITDA bridge for an acquisition target from five years of audited 10-Ks and an unaudited Q3 pack to reconcile GAAP and IFRS treatment, surface customer-concentration risk in the margin walk, and assemble a trading-comps table.

Compliance & auditLong-ContextNon-Hallucination

Example: Reconstruct twelve months of undocumented expense reimbursements from the general ledger and journal entries ahead of a SOX audit to tie each line to source evidence, produce an auditable trail, and flag unsupported items.

Project managementAgentic Knowledge WorkReasoning

Example: Recover a twice-re-scoped SAP S/4HANA rollout where three departments are cross-blocked to map the critical-path dependencies, re-baseline milestones with explicit trade-offs, and draft stakeholder updates that state what slips if scope stays fixed.

Market research & competitive analysisBusiness KnowledgeReasoningLong-Context

Example: Reconcile two vendor studies reporting opposite consumer preferences for the same launch to compare their sampling and conjoint methodologies, explain plausible reasons for the split, and recommend the lower-risk go-to-market path.

Process improvement & consultingBusiness KnowledgeReasoningNon-Hallucination

Example: Diagnose a fulfilment centre whose pick error rate doubled after a floor reorganisation to rank likely root causes from shift logs and layout data, and propose interventions by expected lift.

Cost

Artificial Analysis Finance & Accounting Index: Cost per Task

Average cost per task (USD), broken down by input, cache hit, cache write, reasoning, and answer tokens

Average cost per task in the index. Costs are split by input, cache hit, cache write, reasoning, and answer token pricing where canonical token counts are available.

Artificial Analysis Finance & Accounting Index: Total Cost

Total cost (USD) to run the index

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

Speed

Artificial Analysis Finance & Accounting Index: Time per Task

Weighted average decode time (minutes) per task; excludes TTFT and overhead time · Lower is better

The weighted average time (minutes) per index task. This is calculated by dividing output tokens per task by output speed, weighted by the relative weights of each benchmark in the index.

Output Tokens

Artificial Analysis Finance & Accounting Index: Output Tokens per Task

Output tokens used to run one task, broken down by reasoning and answer tokens

The average number of answer and reasoning tokens produced per benchmark task in this index.

Yes. The Finance & Accounting Index from Artificial Analysis is an independent benchmark of how AI models perform on finance and accounting work. It measures performance on the finance and accounting domain, including financial knowledge, mathematical reasoning, long-context analysis, reporting, and more.

The Finance & Accounting Index is a composite benchmark from Artificial Analysis that assesses model performance across the finance and accounting domain. Capabilities evaluated include domain-specific knowledge (accounting, investments, corporate and markets), financial analysis and reporting, compliance and audit, market research, and more.

The Finance & Accounting Index is calculated as a weighted average of its capability sub-scores. The sub-scores and their weights are: Business Knowledge (30%), Agentic Knowledge Work (30%), Reasoning (20%), Agentic Customer Interaction (10%), Long-Context (5%), and Non-Hallucination (5%).

The Finance & Accounting Index includes AA-Omniscience Business Accuracy, GDPval-AA v2, HLE, 𝜏³-Banking, LCR, and AA-Omniscience Non-Hallucination.

Claude Fable 5 (Adaptive Reasoning, Max Effort, Opus 4.8 Fallback) currently has the highest Finance & Accounting Index score, with a score of 55 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.
