I have been a professional translator since 2012, working from German, French and Dutch into English. I am a former Chartered Accountant. 

I specialise in financial, accounting and legal texts, notably listed company annual reports and financial statements. I render specialized financial texts accurately into readable English, employing correct industry vocabulary and the style used by Anglophone professionals.  Having spent 10 years with major accountancy firms, I have a deep understanding of technical accounting and a familiarity with financial reporting, M&A and financial markets that few other translators match.

Career experience – Former Chartered Accountant & Senior Manager with a major international accounting firm – International business experience – Five years' experience as a full-time translator with a major language services provider – Published author and translator of academic journal articles – PhD in European History; Oxford graduate with 1st class degree. 

Translation expertise – Excellent language skills combined with business experience and impeccable writing style. 

Documents translated include:

Annual reports and financial statements (IFRS, listed companies).

Prospectuses and listing-related documentation.

Information memoranda and vendor due diligence reports for M&A transactions.

Accounting manuals for major companies

Internal audit documentation.

Marketing & communications documents for financial & investment businesses

Whatever the source, good style is paramount – A well-written translation helps you to sell and communicate, speeds up understanding and saves readers time. I combine excellent language skills with relevant business experience and a clear, intelligent writing style.
