Financial report translation
where every figure is checked twice

Annual reports, statements and audit documents are read by people looking for reasons to doubt them. We translate them so the numbers, the notes and the caution in the wording all survive intact.

  • Annual reports and statements
  • Audit reports and notes
  • Figures and dates checked twice
  • Terminology consistent year on year
  • Strictly confidential

    Precision, and the memory of last year

    Financial language is deliberately exact. "Provision", "impairment", "recognised" โ€” each term carries a defined meaning, and the careful hedging of an audit opinion is content, not style. A translation that paraphrases it has changed what the document says. Our financial translators render these texts term for term against the conventions of the target market, and a second translator then checks every figure, date and name against the source โ€” the two places where a fluent translation hides expensive mistakes.

    The other half of the job is memory. An annual report is a yearly document: most of its structure, policies and notes return each year with new numbers. Because we keep a translation memory and termbase per client, last yearโ€™s agreed wording is this yearโ€™s starting point โ€” the terminology cannot drift between reporting periods, and the returning text is not charged again.

    One honest limit: we are a small agency, and finance runs on deadlines. Tell us yours when you ask for the quote, and we will tell you plainly whether we can meet it โ€” before you commit, not after.

    Happy to be of service,

    Frequently asked questions

    Tap any question to see the answer!
    Who sees our financial documents?
    Only the translator working on them and the reviser who checks the work โ€” both under confidentiality agreements with us. We sign an NDA on request, yours or ours, before you send anything.
    How do you make sure the figures are right?
    Every figure, date and name is checked against the source by a second translator, separately from the language revision. Number formats are converted to the target convention โ€” a decimal comma in the wrong market is a real error, not a detail.
    Can you keep our terminology consistent with previous years?
    Yes โ€” that is the point of the translation memory and termbase we keep for you. If we translated last yearโ€™s report, this yearโ€™s uses the same agreed wording, and the sections that return unchanged are not charged again.
    Do you translate into the accounting conventions of the target market?
    We translate the terminology to the conventions the target reader expects, and where a term is framework-specific we keep the original in brackets rather than silently mapping one framework onto another. What we do not do is restate your accounts โ€” that is your auditorโ€™s job, not ours.
    Do you use machine translation on financial documents?
    Not as a way to quietly deliver machine output at human prices, ever. Where a machine draft genuinely helps on low-risk bulk text, we say so in the quote โ€” and a qualified translator revises every line either way. The figures check happens regardless of how the draft was produced.
    What does it cost?
    By volume, language pair and how much of the report we have effectively translated for you in earlier years โ€” returning text is discounted, not recharged. Send us the document and you will have a fixed price, with no obligation.
