Finance and accounting data for AI training
Finance and accounting data shows the work behind the numbers: invoice coding, approvals, reconciliations, close checklists and financial models. AI labs license it to train agents for accounts payable, month-end close and planning, work that public filings don’t show.

Public datasets and licensed data
Public finance datasets are built from filed reports, so they show final numbers, not the internal work behind them. Licensed data adds transaction-level coding decisions, reconciliations and the review steps finance teams follow.
| Public dataset | Released | What it contains | Limits for enterprise use | License |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEC EDGAR filings | US Securities and Exchange Commission | Public company filings, with indexes from 1994 to today, free to access. | Reported numbers and disclosures, not the internal work behind them. | Public |
| FinQA | UC Santa Barbara, J.P. Morgan and others, 2021 | 8,281 question-and-answer pairs over S&P 500 earnings reports (1999–2019), written by finance professionals. | Built on published reports. | MIT |
| TAT-QA | National University of Singapore and others, 2021 | 16,552 questions over tables and text from 182 real financial reports. | Built on published reports. | CC BY 4.0 |
Preparation and rights
Preparation requirements are agreed with each supplier before any work begins. For this kind of data they typically include:
- Removing bank account numbers, tax IDs and signatures
- Excluding payroll and compensation details unless specifically scoped
- Scaling amounts consistently so the work still reconciles. Scaling can be reversed if any true amount is known, so sensitive figures may need further masking.
- Getting each client’s permission when an accounting firm is the source, since client data belongs to the client
Every dataset has a documented owner and confirmed licensing rights, and is delivered only after an executed agreement and the supplier’s authorization. See data governance on sourcex.si.

Questions
Can real financial figures be hidden?
Amounts can be scaled by a consistent factor so reconciliations and models still work. Scaling can be reversed if any true amount is known, so sensitive figures may need further masking.
Which systems does finance data come from?
NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, SAP, BILL and Coupa for transactions, BlackLine and FloQast for close work, and Excel or Google Sheets for models.
