Teleprompter for Accountants: Year-End Client Updates
Year-end is the busiest month of the year for accountants, and a 90-second client update video answers more questions than five emails. Telepront is a free native Swift Mac app that floats your script over Loom, Zoom, or QuickTime so you can record dozens of accurate client updates without rerecording. Native to M1–M4 Macs on macOS 14+, with Apple on-device speech recognition.
See It in Action
Accountants live in spreadsheets eleven months a year, then have to talk to clients about them in the twelfth. Year-end review videos solve that bottleneck — a single Loom recaps the year, surfaces planning opportunities, and prompts the conversation about next year. The catch is that every client video needs to reflect that client's actual numbers, and that is where rerecording starts to eat your day.\nTelepront is a small native Swift app. It launches in under a second, stays out of the way of Loom, and uses no cloud services. That matters when your prompter script literally contains a client's adjusted gross income or a partnership's distributive share. Apple's on-device speech recognition powers optional voice scrolling, so even that audio stays local.\nFor a CPA at a desk filming with a MacBook camera, position the Telepront panel just below the lens and narrow it to a single column. At a typical 24-inch seated distance, 32pt is the comfortable read size. The script then sits exactly where your eyes already are — not off to the side, not on a second monitor that breaks eye contact.\nTelepront does not record video. Loom and QuickTime already do that well. Telepront just makes sure every year-end client update sounds professional, accurate, and consistent across the whole client list.

Tips from Creators
Keep dollar figures on their own line so your delivery slows naturally where accuracy matters most.
Maintain a separate template per entity type (sole prop, S-corp, partnership) — terminology consistency saves time.
Record the most complex client first while you are sharp — the simpler clients are easier to power through later.
