Buyers in your sector are asking AI this right now
Finding the right accountant or tax advisor has always relied on word of mouth - and that word of mouth is now happening through AI. Business owners, founders, and finance managers ask ChatGPT to recommend chartered accountants, tax specialists, and bookkeepers before they ever contact a firm. The practices that appear in those answers arrive at the first conversation already trusted by a prospect who is ready to switch or engage.
"Which chartered accountant in Leeds specialises in R&D tax credits for tech startups?"
"Recommend a small business accountant for a UK e-commerce business turning over £1m"
"Best VAT advisor in London for a business trading with EU clients post-Brexit"
"Which bookkeeping and management accounts firm in Manchester works with professional services businesses?"
These are the answers shaping your prospective clients' shortlists - before they ever visit your website.
What AI invisibility costs accountancy and tax firms
Clients shortlist accountants before making contact
Switching accountants is a considered decision - business owners research carefully before reaching out. AI tools now create the initial shortlist. If your firm doesn't appear when a prospect asks for an accountant or tax specialist in your area or niche, you're not in the running before the conversation has even started.
Service specialisms must be explicit to get recommended
AI tools recommend the firm that most closely matches the specific query. A practice with expertise in R&D tax relief, contractor accounting, or property tax needs each service clearly articulated online - or the AI defaults to better-positioned competitors regardless of your actual depth of experience.
Fast responses convert enquiries; slow ones lose them
Business owners choosing a new accountant or tax advisor are often making urgent decisions - a looming tax deadline, a growth inflection point, or a regulatory change. Firms that respond promptly and professionally convert a significantly higher proportion of inbound enquiries than those whose follow-up is slow or inconsistent.

Key terminology
Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is the practice of optimising a business's online presence so that AI-powered tools - such as ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews - recommend it in response to relevant queries.
AI search visibility is a measure of how frequently and prominently a business appears in AI-generated answers when relevant questions are asked.
AI answer engines are AI-powered tools that respond to user queries with generated answers rather than ranked lists of links - including ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Claude.
