CIFQA: A Deterministic Tool-Grounded Multi-Agent LLM Framework for Financial Query Answering

Abstract

arXiv:2608.26114v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Calculation-intensive financial question answering requires exact reasoning over structured rates, temporal conditions, numerical formulas, and rule-based constraints. Although Large Language Models (LLMs) perform strongly on natural language tasks, they often produce numerically incorrect yet plausible answers when solving multi-step financial calculations. To address this limitation, we introduce CIFQA (Calculation-Intensive Financial Query Answe
