AI prompts for financial advisers
A free, copy-paste library of AI prompts for the writing and admin around advice — client emails, meeting prep, plain-English explainers, review agendas, prospecting and back-office tasks. You bring the judgement; AI drafts the words.
How do financial advisers use AI? Advisers use AI as a drafting and admin assistant — not an advice engine. It writes first drafts of client emails and meeting invitations, turns technical concepts into plain English, builds review-meeting agendas from your notes, summarises documents, and tidies up CRM and file-note text. The adviser then reviews, corrects and approves everything before it goes to a client. AI never decides what's suitable for a client and never issues advice on its own.
Below are 20+ prompts you can paste into ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude or any assistant. Fill in the [placeholders] and always read the output critically before sending.
1. Client communications & follow-ups
These draft the everyday messages — you edit for accuracy, tone and compliance before anything is sent.
Post-meeting follow-up email
Turns your rough notes into a warm, clear recap.
You are helping a financial adviser draft a client email. Write a friendly, professional follow-up email to [client name] after our meeting on [meeting date]. Summarise what we discussed: [3–5 bullet points from your notes]. List the agreed next steps and who owns each one. Keep it under 200 words, plain English, no jargon. Do NOT include any product recommendation or advice — only recap what was discussed. End with a line inviting questions.
Annual review invitation
A prompt to book the yearly catch-up.
Write a short, warm email inviting [client name] to book their annual review, ideally around [review date]. Mention we'll revisit their goals and check everything is still on track. Offer [in person / phone / video] and ask them to reply with two times that suit. Friendly, concise, no jargon, no advice content.
Document request (chase missing paperwork)
Polite nudge for outstanding items.
Draft a polite, brief email to [client name] requesting these outstanding documents: [list items]. Explain in one sentence why each is needed. Make it easy to action — bullet the items, give a suggested return date of [date], and offer to help if anything is unclear. Warm tone.
"Sorry we missed you" reschedule
Recover a missed appointment gracefully.
Write a short, no-blame email to [client name] who missed our meeting on [date]. Keep it light and understanding, and offer three alternative times: [times]. One short paragraph plus the options.
Rewrite my draft to be clearer and warmer
Fix tone on something you've already written.
Here is a draft email I wrote to a client. Rewrite it to be clearer, warmer and
free of jargon, keeping all the facts exactly the same and adding nothing new.
Flag anything that reads like advice so I can check it. My draft:
"""

2. Meeting prep & review agendas
Walk in prepared. These build structure from your existing notes — they don't invent client circumstances.
Annual review meeting agenda
A structured agenda you can tailor.
Build an annual review meeting agenda for a client called [client name]. Context I'll cover: [goals, life changes, topics to raise]. Structure it as: welcome & life update, progress toward goals, questions from the client, housekeeping/admin, and agreed next steps. Leave blanks for me to fill numbers and specifics. Do not assume or invent any figures or recommendations.
Discovery-meeting question list
Open questions for a first meeting.
Draft a list of open, non-leading discovery questions for a first meeting with a
prospective client whose situation is roughly: [brief description]. Group
them under: goals & priorities, family & life stage, current arrangements,
attitude to risk (in plain language), and what a good outcome looks like. These
are conversation prompts only — not a risk-profiling tool or advice.
Pre-meeting brief from my notes
A one-page summary before you walk in.
Summarise the following client notes into a one-page pre-meeting brief with:
key facts, open items since last contact, likely topics for today, and three
prompts to check in on. Do not add anything not in the notes. Notes:

Meeting recap into action items

3. Plain-English explainers
Great for client education material. Always fact-check the output — AI can be confidently wrong on technical detail, and rules vary by jurisdiction.
Explain a concept simply
Client-friendly explanation you then verify.
Explain [concept, e.g. compound growth / diversification / dollar-cost
averaging] in plain English for a client with no finance background. Use one
short everyday analogy, keep it under 150 words, and avoid recommending any
action. Add a one-line note that this is general information, not advice. I will
fact-check before using it.
Jargon-buster glossary
Define the terms in a document.
Here is a client document. Pull out every piece of jargon or technical term and
give a one-sentence plain-English definition for each, as a glossary. Do not
change the document or add advice. Document:
"""
[paste text]
"""
Answer a common client question generically
A reusable general-information reply.
A client asked: "[question]". Draft a clear, general-information answer I
can adapt. Keep it factual and balanced, note where the answer depends on
personal circumstances, and add: "This is general information only — we'd need
to look at your situation before giving advice." I will review before sending.
Simplify a long document into a client summary
Digest reports or statements.
Summarise the document below into a short, plain-English overview for a client:
what it is, the key points, and anything they may want to ask about. Neutral
tone, no recommendations. Keep it to 5–7 bullets. Document:
"""

4. Prospecting & content
Marketing and outreach drafts. Keep claims accurate, avoid promises about returns, and make sure anything public meets your firm's compliance sign-off.
Newsletter section draft
General-education content for your list.
Write a short newsletter section (about 180 words) for a financial advice firm's
client list on the topic: [topic]. Educational and general only — no
product mentions, no performance claims, no advice. Warm, professional tone.
End with a soft invitation to get in touch with questions.
LinkedIn post (thought-leadership)
Build presence without over-claiming.
Draft a LinkedIn post for a financial adviser on [topic]. Educational,
first-person, no jargon, no return promises, no advice. Around 120 words, a

Add a note reminding me to run it past compliance.
Referral thank-you
Acknowledge an introduction warmly.
Write a short, genuine thank-you email to [client name] who referred [referral name] to us. Warm, not salesy, no advice content. Two short paragraphs.
Prospect follow-up sequence outline
Plan a light-touch follow-up cadence.
Outline a 3-email, non-pushy follow-up sequence for a prospect who enquired but
hasn't booked, named [prospect name]. For each email give a one-line goal,
a suggested send-gap, and a 2-sentence draft. Educational and helpful in tone,
no pressure, no advice, no performance claims.
5. Admin, file notes & workflow
The back-office time-savers. See the automate-admin guide for wiring these into a repeatable workflow.
File note from a call
Clean, factual record from your notes.
Turn my rough call notes into a concise, factual file note. Structure: date,

Consistent, searchable records.
Rewrite the CRM note below to be clear, consistent and searchable: fix
grammar, use short sentences, keep every fact identical, add nothing. Return
just the cleaned note. Note:
