ChatGPT Prompts for Financial Advisors: 12 for Client Work

These ChatGPT prompts for financial advisors handle the preparation and writing around client work: review prep, life change triggers, discovery questions, follow up emails, and plain language explanations. You keep the advice and the judgment; ChatGPT organizes notes and drafts text. Fill in the [brackets] with de-identified facts only.

Important limits: this is not financial advice, and the prompts are designed so the model asks questions rather than recommends products. Follow your firm's policy on AI tools, never paste client names or account numbers, and send client facing text through your compliance review.

Prep a full client review in one prompt

The Financial Advisor Client Review Prep: Agenda and Follow Up prompt combines the review steps. You give it a de-identified profile, notes since the last review, a plan snapshot, open items, required topics, and the meeting setup. It returns a client snapshot, a goal check table, life change triggers as questions, open item status, discovery questions, an agenda, a document checklist, a follow up email draft, and compliance reminders. The example on the page preps a 60 minute video review for a couple after one spouse left a teaching job.
