AI marketing software for financial advisors — built to grow AUM, not pay-per-lead vendors.
Iriscale is the AI marketing platform financial advisors use day to day — AI agents that learn your investment philosophy, service tiers, and client demographics, then build a compliant content engine that earns citations in AI search and attracts qualified prospects.
Works alongside the tools your firm already uses
Knowledge Base
Content Architecture
AI Search Ranking
You're invisible in AI search — where your best prospects are asking for advice.
The old playbook — a SmartAsset listing, some LinkedIn posts, a referral network — doesn't reach the 45-year-old professional who now starts their advisor search in ChatGPT.
Lead generation platforms take the margin.
SmartAsset and similar platforms charge $150–$500 per lead and you share every prospect with 3–5 competing advisors. You compete on price before the first call.
AI is answering financial questions directly.
When someone asks ChatGPT "how much do I need to retire?" your firm needs to be cited as the authoritative local source — not a robo-advisor or generic financial site.
Compliance makes content hard.
FINRA and SEC rules constrain what you can claim. Generic AI content creates compliance risk. You need a platform built around the guardrails, not one that ignores them.
45%
of consumers now use AI to find local businesses, up from 6% a year ago.
A full marketing operation for your advisory firm — built around how qualified prospects search.
From first financial question to booked discovery call — on autopilot.

Every feature feeds the next. That's the Iriscale difference.
Teach Iriscale about your business once — the Knowledge Base becomes the foundation. From there, every other capability draws from the same brain. No retyping, no re-briefing, no context loss.
From the Founder
“Most financial advisors rely on referrals that dry up when the market turns. Iriscale builds the organic content and AI-citation strategy that makes your practice discoverable when clients are searching independently.”

Common questions
Iriscale generates draft content — your compliance review comes last, before anything publishes. The Knowledge Base stores your firm's compliance guardrails so the AI avoids common violations by default. You are always the final approver.
Iriscale works with any business model — RIA, BD, or hybrid — because content compliance is your responsibility and the platform is designed to support that review process, not bypass it.
Those platforms charge per lead and share prospects with competing advisors. Iriscale builds your owned content engine - so prospects find your firm directly, through search and AI, without a referral intermediary.
Yes. Each advisor can have a separate voice profile within the shared Knowledge Base. Content produced for each advisor reflects their communication style and specialty.
Most firms see AI-search citation shifts in 3–5 weeks. Organic inquiry from educational content typically builds over 90 days and compounds significantly in months 4–6.
Iriscale is the marketing layer that drives prospect inquiries; it works alongside your CRM and portfolio stack like Redtail, Wealthbox, Salesforce Financial, or Orion rather than replacing it. New leads flow into the CRM workflow your firm already runs.
When prospects ask ChatGPT or Perplexity "how do I choose a fee-only financial advisor" or "do I need a fiduciary," those engines synthesize answers from authoritative content. Iriscale builds educational, compliance-reviewed answer content so your firm becomes a cited source instead of a lead-aggregator listing.
Yes. The Knowledge Base stores your required disclosures, testimonial rules under the SEC Marketing Rule, and approved language, so drafts arrive consistent and review-ready. Your compliance officer is always the final approver before anything publishes.
