Year-end advisory reviews

The workflow drafts the advisory summary against every year-end file. The partner signs off.

Describe the task

Hand the workflow the signed-off year-end file for a client. Ask for an advisory review against your house checklist: tax planning opportunities, balance sheet risks, year-on-year trend shifts, and anything in the P&L that merits a partner conversation.

An AI workflow drafting a year-end advisory summary against a client's profit-and-loss and balance sheet, with flagged items for partner review.

Give the workflow context

An AI workflow connected to your practice document store with the current-year and prior-year accounts, the engagement letter, any tax computations already prepared, and your house advisory checklist. Read access only - the workflow drafts, the partner signs.

What the workflow creates

A structured advisory summary for each client: headline findings, tax planning ideas worth a conversation, flagged balance sheet items, and the trend shifts that matter. Draft form, cited back to the source figures. Ready for the partner to review and land with the client.

Follow-up prompts

  • Draft a client-facing letter based on the review findings, ready for partner sign-off.
  • Run the same review across the next three clients in this portfolio.
  • Pull the year-on-year changes into a one-page partner briefing for the next meeting.

Tricks and tips

  • Start with one partner and one portfolio. Get the house checklist codified in the prompt first, then scale.
  • Feed the workflow the prior-year partner commentary too - it learns the kind of observation your firm actually makes.
  • Keep the partner in the loop on every draft for the first month. The signal you want is whether the partner is editing or just accepting.
