AI Prompts for Financial Advisers

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.

Read this before you use any prompt. Financial advice is regulated. These prompts are for communication, drafting and admin only — they are not for generating financial advice, product recommendations, or statements of advice. The adviser reviews and is responsible for all advice and all client-facing output. Nothing on this site is financial advice. Don't paste client personal or sensitive information into a public AI tool unless your firm's policies and your AI tool's data terms allow it.
The five prompt sections

  2. Meeting prep & review agendas
  3. Plain-English explainers
  4. Prospecting & content
  5. Admin, file notes & workflow

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:
"""
[paste your 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:
"""
[paste notes]
"""

Meeting recap into action items

Turn a messy transcript or notes into tasks.

From the meeting notes below, extract a clean list of action items. For each,
give: the task, the owner ([adviser / client / admin]), and a suggested
due date. Then list any follow-up questions I should confirm. Notes:
"""
[paste notes]
"""

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:
"""
[paste text]
"""

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
clear hook in the first line, and a question at the end to invite comments.
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,
who was present, purpose, what was discussed, decisions/actions, follow-ups.
Neutral and factual — do not add interpretation, opinion or advice. Notes:
"""
[paste notes]
"""

Draft an internal task list for a new client

Onboarding checklist for the team.

Create an internal onboarding task list for a new client, [client name].
Standard steps only: welcome, collect documents ([list]), set up records,
schedule first review. For each task give an owner ([adviser / admin]) and
a suggested timeframe. This is internal workflow, not advice.

Tidy up a CRM note

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:
"""
[paste note]
"""

Weekly priorities from my task dump

Turn chaos into a plan.

Here is a brain-dump of everything on my plate this week. Group it into: client
deadlines, admin, follow-ups, and business development. Then suggest an order to
tackle them and flag anything time-sensitive. Don't invent tasks. Dump:
"""
[paste list]

A quick reminder on responsibility. Every prompt here produces a draft. The adviser reviews, corrects and approves all output, and is responsible for all advice given. AI output can contain errors, out-of-date rules, or subtle inaccuracies — treat it as a starting point, never a final answer. Keep client data handling within your firm's policies.

Want AI wired into your actual advice firm — not just a chat window?

These prompts save minutes. A properly set-up AI assistant that lives in your email, calendar, documents and CRM saves hours — with your data staying in your own Microsoft 365 environment. That's what SG1 Consulting builds.
