For U.S. Accounting Firm Owners

You already know how to advise your clients.
Now you'll know exactly when.

Advisory Machines monitors 150+ external data sources across your client list and tells you exactly who to call, what to say, and why it matters right now.

Currently in beta. Accepting early access firms.

150+ data sources$5K to $75K estimated impact per opportunityZero manual research

No client financial data involved. Advisory Machines never uses your clients' books, tax returns, or private information.

The Opportunity Gap

The advisory revenue is already in your book.
You just can't see it.

Most of your clients have something happening right now that justifies an advisory conversation. A hire in a tight market. A regulatory change they haven't noticed. A competitor making moves. You have the expertise. What you don't have is the time to watch every client's world every week. That's what Advisory Machines does.

Delivered the moment it happens

Real advisory intelligence, not generic alerts

No daily digest of noise. The instant a signal that matters to a specific client fires, a ready-to-use opportunity lands in your dashboard. Scored, sourced, and explained.

Hiring & Labor Planning
Near-term
Travis County unemployment is at 3.2%. For a 6-15 employee restaurant, your hiring costs will be higher than 18 months ago. Set up a structured compensation plan now and you save roughly $20K on the next hire, plus cut mis-hire risk in half.

Quick note on what the Austin labor market is doing to your hiring costs

Opening line

I ran the Travis County labor data this morning and spotted something that will land on your P&L this year.

Discovery question

How are you setting compensation for new hires right now, and when did you last benchmark it against the Austin market?

Win in both halves of your book

Built for how CPA firms actually grow.

Turn compliance-only clients into advisory relationships

  • Surface specific, dollar-impact reasons to reach out to the 60-70% of your book that doesn’t pay for advisory today
  • Start conversations with clients who never asked for more than a tax return
  • Turn one-off compliance engagements into recurring advisory revenue
  • Reach them before a competitor does

Make existing advisory relationships visibly higher value

  • Proactively reach out to your clients the week something changes in their market, not the quarter after
  • Catch competitor moves, regulatory exposure, and cost pressure before your client does, and get on their calendar with a specific reason
  • Strengthen the "you saw it first" reputation that drives referrals
  • Increase advisory fees because the work is visibly higher value

Noise gets filtered out.

Not every signal is worth your time. We score against your client's industry, size, and geography. Only what crosses the relevance threshold makes it through.

Each card shows the client, the signal, an estimated dollar impact, an advisory angle, and a conversation starter: subject line, opening line, discovery question.

Manual research hours

Built for CPA compliance standards

Your clients' private data never enters the system. Ever.

Zero client financial data

No books, no tax returns, no bank feeds, no anything from your client's files.

External signals only

Everything we monitor is externally observable, the same information any journalist, analyst, or competitor could see.

Full transparency

Every opportunity shows you exactly which source it came from. Your client can verify every signal themselves.

Advisory Machines is designed around the compliance posture of CPA firms. Nothing you do inside the platform puts your license or your client relationships at risk.
