FAQs: PR for accountants and financial advisors
What is financial PR?
Financial PR is about making complex financial topics accessible, building trust through credible media coverage and showcasing the expertise within a business.
By combining thought leadership, media relations and digital visibility, PR agencies help financial brands strengthen their reputation and reach their target audiences.
Why do accountants and financial advisors need PR?
Fifty per cent of shoppers consult two to three marketing channels before making a purchase and for B2B decision making, those numbers are even higher.
PR keeps your accountancy firm visible in the media, both online and offline, which helps to build brand awareness and trust among your audience.
It also supports your business’ visibility in search engines like Google by ensuring the name of your company and senior experts mentioned in the press. This is a sign of that your business is trusted and an authority on the topic of finance.
How to choose a PR agency for your accountancy or financial services firm
Having an internal understanding of your aims and objectives is a great place to start before approaching a PR agency, as this will influence the type of support that you need.
Is your priority for regional or national growth? Do you need to attract high calibre employees? Or do you want to maintain your local reputation and visibility?
Based on your objectives, you could search for a PR agency that specialises in finance and accountancy, and has proven experience and results in your sector, or you could choose a local PR agency with a portfolio of coverage from your target media.

Can PR help my accountancy firm show up in AI?
With the right strategy, yes. An in-depth study from software specialist Muck Rack found that 95% of AI citations come from non-paid media, with 89% of results from earned media and 27% from journalistic content.
But not all press coverage is equal in the eyes of AI. Some top tier national and regional news websites do not allow AI crawling, including MailOnline, iNews, Metro and BBC News, and as AI is still very much in its infancy, this landscape is still evolving.
Understanding which media titles are cited in AI is essential for the PR agency of any accountancy firm looking to show up in tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
Research also shows that AI prefers fresh content, so you need to consider a consistent approach to PR to gain visibility and maintain it.
