Translating annual accounts, balance sheets or financial reports is one of the most common services within financial translation. The price mainly depends on the length of the document, the source and target languages, the level of specialisation and the urgency of the project. These texts include specific terminology related to accounting, reporting, audit, ratios, notes and compliance, so it’s important that the translation is carried out by a specialist financial translator. A well-executed translation prevents misinterpretation, maintains the document’s technical consistency and helps investors, auditors and international teams understand the information exactly.

Turnaround time for a financial translation depends on document volume, content complexity, working language, format and urgency. As a general reference, a specialist financial translator can translate between 2,000 and 2,500 words per day for standard texts. However, more complex documents such as lengthy annual reports, audits, regulatory documentation or data rooms may require more time because they need especially careful review to ensure terminological accuracy, numerical consistency and technical reliability. For urgent projects, it’s also possible to organise translation and review teams to shorten deadlines without compromising final quality.

Audits, due diligence and investor materials are often lengthy documents containing financial terminology, tables, notes, regulatory references and a formal structure specific to each market. For this reason, translating this type of documentation requires particularly rigorous review. The time required will depend on the total number of pages, the complexity of the content and whether the document includes appendices, tables, charts or additional material. In general, it’s advisable to review the documentation in advance to estimate the delivery time accurately and ensure reliable financial translation.

No. Financial translation refers to the professional translation of economic, accounting, banking, insurance or investment documents, where the most important factors are terminological accuracy, technical consistency and understanding of the sector context. Sworn translation, by contrast, is an officially certified translation produced by a sworn translator authorised by the competent authority. This type of translation is used when the document needs official validity before public administrations, courts, banks or institutions. In some projects, both modalities can be combined.

A financial translator is involved in translating documents with accounting, banking, regulatory, insurance or investment implications. The most common include annual accounts, balance sheets, annual reports, audit reports, investor presentations, fund documentation, banking contracts, statements, policies, due diligence reports, compliance texts and regulatory documentation. In all these cases, it’s important to use a translator with real finance experience, able to correctly interpret the technical meaning of each term and adapt it to the target-language market.

Yes. Financial translation for banking, investment, insurance and fintech is one of the most common needs for international companies and regulated entities. In these cases we translate reports, contracts, product sheets, onboarding, terms, policies, commercial materials, regulatory documentation and customer communications. This type of translation requires terminological accuracy, clear writing and strict confidentiality, as documents often contain sensitive information related to operations, strategy or compliance.

Yes. Many of our projects come from international companies, finance departments, fintechs, audit firms, advisory firms, insurers, banks and consultancies that need to translate financial documentation frequently. In these cases we can set up recurring workflows, terminology memories and specialist translation teams to maintain consistency across all documents. This makes it possible to manage large volumes of financial translation while maintaining terminological consistency, fast response times and document security.

We offer financial translation in many languages with native translators specialised in banking, accounting, investment and regulation. The most common languages include English, French, German, Italian and Portuguese, although we also work with many other language combinations. Translator assignment depends on the source language, target language and the type of financial document. This ensures each project is translated by a professional with real experience in the relevant field.
