Large language model agents are proving effective in quantitative finance, particularly for large-scale forensic accounting tasks that were previously time-consuming for human analysts. These agents can reliably extract financial data from filings and compute scores like the Beneish M-Score with high accuracy, though they struggle with non-standard formats or when data is not explicitly broken out. While less effective at constructing full discounted cash flow models, LLM agents can automate the tedious bookkeeping aspects, allowing human analysts to focus on the more critical judgment-based assumptions.
