# Finch: Finance & Accounting Cowork Benchmark

AI agents on long, multi-step enterprise finance and accounting workflows centred on spreadsheets: data entry, formatting, cross-file retrieval, calculation, financial modelling, validation, translation, visualisation and reporting. The workflows come from real workspaces, including Enron's spreadsheets and emails.
