Leveraging Large Language Models for Few-Shot {KPI} Extraction from Financial Reports

We explore the use of Large Language Models ({LLMs}) for automating the extraction of Key Performance Indicators ({KPIs}) from diverse financial reports without any additional fine-tuning. We focus on evaluating various proprietary and open-source {LLMs} to address the joint named entity recognition and relation extraction tasks essential for accurately linking {KPIs} to their corresponding values and attributes. Our study highlights the technical challenges involved in the extraction process and presents a comprehensive evaluation of the models’ effectiveness. Our results reveal significant insights into handling these {LLMs} in such a crucial environment and showcase the transformative potential of {LLMs} in enhancing financial analysis and decision-making.
