FinCom: A Financial Multi-Agent Demo with Disagree-or-Commit Deliberation

Abstract: Multi-agent systems powered by LLMs are increasingly used for financial analysis and decision support. However, existing coordination schemes, especially those emphasizing consensus or debate, are vulnerable to sycophancy: agents conform to peer reasoning instead of evidence, leading to premature agreement and degraded outcomes. We introduce FinCom (Financial Committee), a governed multi-agent framework and interactive system that operationalizes the Disagree-or-Commit (DoC) protocol to embed structured dissent into financial AI committees. A central Supervisor orchestrates three ReAct-enabled specialist agents: Research, Quantitative, and Risk. Each agent is equipped with role-specific tools for retrieval, computation, and stress testing. During deliberation, agents must either explicitly critique or commit to their peers' reasoning before converging on a unified recommendation. This demonstration showcases how FinCom supports committee-style financial analysis through coordinated multi-agent interaction, including structured report generation and interactive decision support. Evaluated across the most recent financial agent benchmark, in addition to 90 internal handcrafted financial tasks using an LLM-as-a-Judge protocol, DoC improves reasoning accuracy and risk awareness significantly over a consensus-seeking baseline on both an in-house and external evaluation set. By reframing disagreement as a governance primitive rather than noise, FinCom offers a lightweight, prompt-only recipe for improving accountability, transparency, and epistemic robustness in agentic financial systems.
