Click on the Expression Tool icon (mf icon), or Select Tools -> Expression from the main menu to open the Expression Tool. Then double-click on a note within the measure around where you want to change the tempo. When the Expression Selection dialog comes up select the Note Expression radio option then Click Create.

This brings you to the custom expression window. Click on the tempo tab, Check Assign Tempo and enter your tempo. Click OK.

Finale will ask you where to start within the measure, you can either make the tempo change on that note, or the relative position within the measure. If you select relative position, you have even more control since you can have multiple tempo changes on the same note.

You can repeat this process for each tempo change within the measure. Happy editing!
