The AI meeting assistant for accounting & bookkeeping firms

All your meetings, handled by AI

01AI meeting bot

Capture every meeting automatically

Joins your calls automatically with a custom meeting image, ready to record and transcribe.

Integrate Vinyl with your calendar and let it join Teams, Zoom, or Meet calls quietly. It sends one notetaker per call and skips solo blocks, out-of-office and declined events.

02Mobile App

Use our mobile app to capture meetings

Record meetings in person with multiple attendees to capture notes automatically

“For in‑person meetings, the mobile app is just as impressive: one‑tap recording, automatic speaker identification, and instant syncing to the web app mean all meetings—online or face‑to‑face—end up in one secure, searchable place.”

Cameron Mason, The Insight Company Pty Ltd

03Smart summaries

Get clear summaries with action items

After each meeting, Vinyl breaks down the key discussion points and action items, organised by entity, with client names and terms spelt the way your firm’s glossary has them. For client meetings, Vinyl also generates a structured file note, ready to download as a PDF in your firm’s branding.After each meeting, Vinyl breaks down the key discussion points and action items, organized by entity, with client names and terms spelled the way your firm’s glossary has them.

“Vinyl provides a Summary, Discussion Points and resulting Action Items which are 1,000% on point.”

John Bovard, CPA, Bovard & Alvarez Advisors

04Secure sharing

Share notes securely and selectively

Share summaries with team members or clients through secure links, without giving full transcript access.

05Client-first structure

Stay organised by client and contactStay organized by client and contact

Everything is neatly sorted by Contact, Client, and Group. Restrict a client so only the people you name see its recordings, brief and contacts, archive what’s finished, and merge duplicate clients. When several clients share one email address, Vinyl asks which client a meeting belongs to.

06Practice management integrations

Sync with your practice management tools

Push action items or meeting outcomes directly into your practice management software. Each meeting shows where it filed in Karbon or FYI, and anything that didn’t file can be fixed in one place. Filing into SharePoint and AccountKit is coming soon.

“It's perfect for my bookkeeping business and integrates with my Practice Management System.”

Chris Alleyn, Xero App Store review

Draft client follow-ups before you’ve left the call
