Do you want to generate more leads and close more sales? AI can help you achieve that goal. In fact, there are lesser-known AI tools for accounting that can help you get more clients without being overly complicated.
Today, I’m going to share four of them. The fourth suggestion is something I don’t see anyone talking about.
Let’s dive into it.

The first tool I want you to leverage is an AI meeting notetaker. It doesn’t matter which one you use (there are tons out there).
We personally use Fireflies. There’s also an accounting firm-specific tool called Vinyl that you can try.
Compare your options, choose the one that best fits your firm and start using it to capture your meetings.
Once you’ve recorded a handful, drop them into an LLM tool like ChatGPT or Claude and have it create a sales script. Because your script will be based on your actual meetings, it will include your prospects’ pain points, their desired outcomes and even any objections they have.
You’ll be shocked at the sales script it can create. Over time, your script can evolve and get better and better.
LLM tools can also be used to be your sales coach. Just drop your recorded sales calls into your preferred tool and ask:
Each time you have a sales call, drop your recording into an LLM and ask for feedback on how you can improve.
Let AI be your expert sales trainer.
You can even use AI to identify ways to cross-sell, upsell and ultimately better serve your clients and help them achieve better outcomes.
The next tool I recommend you adopt is an AI video editing solution.
For years, the gold standard has been to create long-form video that you can post on, say, YouTube or a podcast. With long-form content, people can be educated by you on a topic that goes more in-depth than short-form.
Now, with long-form, it’s also been recommended to pull short-form clips from there to share on social media.
That strategy still holds true today. But AI can help make the process even faster.
For example, using Descript, you can generate concepts (the scripts) and edit your content. It can pull the most impactful clips for you and even help with creating captions. It adds studio sound quality as well.
There are so many things that Descript’s AI features can do, but there are other tools out there that can achieve the same goals.
Weigh your options and select the one that works best for your firm.
If you pair a tool like Descript with a meeting recording app, you can actually pull out pieces of conversations you’re having with clients and insights you’re generating to automatically create content for you.
Just make sure that you keep confidentiality requirements in mind.
The next tool you should have in your AI toolbox is Claude Code. Now, I don’t know about you, but I’m not a coding expert.
Even I can create applications today using Claude Code. That’s how powerful this tool is.
In fact, just this week I had it help me create a lead generation tool for a firm that serves real estate agents. Essentially, we created this tool that helps estimate tax savings and what the opportunity would be by working with a tax strategist who specializes in working with real estate investors.
We got that tool up and running in no time at all.
Claude Code can help you create:
You don’t even need a developer to create these kinds of tools now.
The fourth tool I want you to use is Claude Cowork.
I’ve done a few videos on Claude Cowork recently:
When it comes to Claude Cowork, I want you to start thinking about how you can use this tool instead of an application or a browser.
For example, if you need to add a task to your project, an event to your calendar or even products to your Amazon or Walmart carts, Claude Cowork can handle these simple tasks for you.
Cowork can also help with your marketing.
What’s very powerful is if you set up a morning brief for you and on that morning brief, I want it to give you all of your daily to-dos, whether that is tasks, meetings or something else on your agenda.
You can even include news for your relevant sector. So, if you serve real estate investors, for example, include news related to this that you need to be aware of.
I also want you to use Cowork to pull some leads.
For example, has anyone posted on LinkedIn that fits this criteria and is looking for a CPA or an accountant or your services? Have it look on Facebook, too.
Cowork can do all of these things, and it can pull this directly for you so that you can be the first one to raise your hand and say, “Hey, I saw you’re looking for help. I’d love to learn more about what you’re looking for.”
I don’t see anyone talking about this, but it can be such a powerful way to reach new clients.
These four AI tools can help you streamline your marketing, generate more leads and close more sales. Try incorporating them all into your daily workflow today to see just how powerful they can be.
AI meeting notetakers can capture important details from client meetings, which you can then use to create tailored sales scripts that address prospects’ specific pain points and objections.
AI video editing tools can streamline the process of creating long-form content and extracting short clips for social media, making it easier to engage with potential clients.
Yes, tools like Claude Code allow you to create lead generation applications and resources without needing any coding expertise, making it accessible for everyone.
Claude Cowork can automate tasks like managing your calendar and pulling leads from social media, helping you stay organized and proactive in reaching out to potential clients.
AI tools can help you create various content types, including sales scripts, video clips, lead generation freebies, and social media posts, all tailored to your audience.
Begin by selecting one or two tools that align with your current marketing strategy, then gradually incorporate them into your daily operations to see how they enhance your lead generation and sales processes.
