Client conversations are the heart of financial advisory work. Whether you’re reviewing investment strategies, planning for retirement, or handling estate planning, those conversations are complex, critical, and often hard to track.

Unlike standard note-taking tools, Fireflies offers a solution built specifically for wealth managers, financial advisors, RIAs, and advisory firms. It integrates smoothly into your daily workflow, helping you record, organize, and turn client conversations into clear, compliant, and actionable insights—all without adding extra work.

Solving real challenges with finance meetings

Financial professionals speak with dozens of clients each week, often covering sensitive or high-stakes topics. Keeping track of every conversation, follow-up, and action item is time-consuming, and doing it manually leaves room for error.

  • A Kitces Research shows that only about 50% of a typical advisor’s time is devoted to direct client activities, with less than 20% actually spent in client meetings. The rest is absorbed by back-office tasks, including documentation and administrative work.
  • The average advisor spends 2–3 hours per day on post-meeting notes, summaries, and CRM updates, which translates to approximately 520 hours per year, or $78,000 in lost productivity per advisor.

We heard it firsthand:

  • “I spend more time writing notes than I do advising.”
  • “I’m always worried I missed something important.”
  • “None of these tools are built for how we actually work.”

That’s why we built Fireflies for Finance—to let you stay fully present in every client conversation while it handles the documentation with human-level accuracy.

In Action: WealthUp scales multilingual financial advisory with Fireflies

WealthUp, a South African financial advisory firm with a seven-member team, faced significant challenges in managing multilingual client conversations—particularly in Afrikaans—due to inefficient and error-prone manual note-taking. This not only led to incomplete documentation but also hindered real-time client engagement. “We were often more focused on taking notes than being present with our clients, which is not how we want to operate,” said Louis van der Merwe, Co-founder and Director at WealthUp. 

After exploring other platforms, WealthUp chose Fireflies for its accurate transcriptions, finance-specific summaries, and CRM integrations. Using Fireflies, WealthUp is now able to:

  • Save 10+ hours per week, freeing up time for deeper client engagement.
  • Enhance meeting presence by eliminating the need for real-time note-taking.
  • Scale operations efficiently without additional hires—crucial for maintaining a lean team.
  • Improve documentation and follow-up, enabling a more consistent client experience.

“We can now be fully present in our meetings,” said Louis. With improved documentation and no need for additional hires, Fireflies became key to their lean, growth-focused strategy. “It’s enabled us to scale without more staff, which is crucial,” Louis concluded.

In Action: Ecivda Financial Planning uses Fireflies to transform financial advisory

For years, Ecivda Financial Planning Boutique , a financial advisory firm led by Shawn Todd, took notes the old-fashioned way—pen, paper, and memory. Shawn Todd, the firm’s founder, was known for being an “excellent note taker,” but even he struggled to keep up in real time.

Although initially hesitant to adopt AI tools in his client meetings, Shawn’s concerns around security and compliance began to fade after seeing trusted professionals, like doctors, use AI assistants effectively. 

What began as a small test with Fireflies quickly turned into a core part of Ecivda’s day-to-day. Today, Fireflies helps Ecivda Financial Planning Boutique to:

  • Build better client trust by letting advisors stay fully present in every conversation.
  • Save hours every week by eliminating manual notes and post-meeting follow-ups.
  • Streamline compliance with automated KYC updates and “reason-why” letters, ensuring every client interaction is consistent and audit-ready.

As Shawn put it: “Fireflies has changed the game for financial advisory. I can focus on my clients, be a better listener, and know that every compliance box is checked. It’s fantastic.”

In Action: Ian Maxwell deepens client relationship with Fireflies

Ian Maxwell leads Reviresco Wealth Advisory, a boutique financial planning firm in Southern California. As a solo advisor, he prides himself on offering deeply personalized services—from estate planning to investment strategy. But as his client base grew, so did the pressure.

Important details were slipping through the cracks. Follow-ups took longer. The personal touch that set Ian apart was becoming harder to maintain. That’s when he turned to Fireflies. 

Now, Ian can:

  • Save 30 minutes per meeting from manual note-taking, giving him more time to plan strategically and connect meaningfully with clients.
  • Be fully present in conversations, strengthening relationships and delivering more personalized advice.
  • Increase conversions from 3 to 5 out of 10, simply by capturing and acting on what matters most.
  • Train new hires faster, using real meetings as a ready-made library of best practices.

With Fireflies, Ian isn’t just keeping up—he’s getting ahead. “I’m not just managing my current workload; I’m preparing for expansion,” Ian said confidently. “I can see how Fireflies will help me scale my advisory services while maintaining the quality my clients expect.”

In Action: Forsyth Advisors replaces manual note-taking with Fireflies

Forsyth Advisors, a growing financial advisory firm, struggled with managing the large volume of information from client meetings. Manual note-taking was inefficient, error-prone, and made onboarding new analysts difficult. “As our team and client base grew, so did the complexity of our meetings,” said Brant Hill of Forsyth Advisors. “We needed a solution to keep pace and ensure no detail was lost.”

Switching to Fireflies helped Forsyth Advisors to:

  1. Cut recap time from 30 minutes to under 5, saving 15+ hours weekly.
  2. Ensure key action items were tracked and followed up, eliminating the need for manual recap emails.
  3. Build client trust with accurate, transparent meeting summaries—clients requested Fireflies on all calls.
  4. Speed up onboarding by giving new analysts instant access to past meeting transcripts.

"Using Fireflies has been a game-changer for our business," says Brant. "Fireflies never misses a meeting, and the AI summaries provide a perfect, structured recap in seconds, saving us hours every week and ensuring we never lose sight of key action items. We enter client meetings completely confident that no critical details will be missed, which boosts client trust and accountability. In fact, our clients love the summaries."
