AI for Personal Financial Advisor
You spend 20–45 minutes writing a follow-up email after every client meeting — multiply that across 200+ annual meetings and you're looking at 70–150 hours of writing per year that follows a predictable structure. These guides show you how to cut that time dramatically, produce consistent client newsletters that actually get published, and handle the compliance documentation and market commentary that currently crowds out the planning work your clients are paying you for.

Write a Personalized Client Birthday or Milestone Message
A warm, genuine-sounding personal message for a client's birthday, retirement, anniversary, or major life milestone — brief enough to feel sincere, personal enough to feel noticed.
Write a short personal message from a financial advisor to a longtime client named [first name] on their [birthday/retirement/25th wedding anniversary/other milestone]. Include a reference to: [one personal detail, e.g., "their love of golf" or "their recent move to Florida" or "their daughter's upcoming wedding"]. Tone: warm, genuine, not transactional. 3-4 sentences max. No financial topics.
Tip: Pull one specific personal detail from your CRM notes before running the prompt — that's what makes it feel genuine rather than templated. Three to four sentences is the right length; asking for more produces something that feels too formal for a personal message.
Draft a Compliance Policy Document First Draft
A structured first draft of an RIA compliance policy document — giving your compliance consultant a polished starting point that cuts review time (and your bill) significantly.
Draft a [policy type, e.g., "Written Supervisory Procedures" or "Code of Ethics" or "Privacy Policy" or "Business Continuity Plan"] for a registered investment advisor with these characteristics: [firm size, e.g., "sole practitioner with one associate"], [custody model, e.g., "Schwab Advisor Services as custodian"], [fee model, e.g., "fee-only AUM"]. Include all required sections. Note placeholders where firm-specific details are needed.
Tip: Always have a compliance professional review before filing — this gives your consultant a polished starting point, not a finished document. Describe your firm's specifics (size, custodian, fee model) in the prompt so the placeholder sections are accurate to your situation.
Generate Discovery Meeting Questions for Any Prospect
A tailored set of 10-12 discovery questions designed for a specific prospect type — questions that uncover their real financial situation, concerns, and decision-making style beyond the standard in...
Generate 10 discovery meeting questions for a financial advisor meeting with: [prospect description, e.g., "a 58-year-old recently widowed woman with $900k in savings who has never managed finances independently"]. Goal: understand their current situation, biggest concerns, past experience with advisors, and readiness to hire. Mix of practical and emotional questions. Avoid yes/no questions.
Tip: Describe the prospect specifically — age, life situation, what you already know about them — rather than using a generic prospect type. Use the questions as conversation starters, not a rigid script; 3-4 of the 10 will generate the most useful dialogue and you can follow those threads.
Explain Any Financial Concept in Plain English
A clear, jargon-free explanation of any financial concept that uses an analogy your client can actually understand — suitable to email to a client or read aloud in a meeting.
Explain [financial concept] for a client who is [brief description, e.g., "a 63-year-old retired teacher with no finance background"]. Use one everyday analogy. Keep it under 120 words. Avoid acronyms and industry jargon. End with one key takeaway.
Tip: Describe your client's background so the analogy lands — "retired schoolteacher" gets a different analogy than "small business owner." Ask for "two different analogies" if the first one doesn't feel right for your client.
