... need to be accurate, concise and convey their message well.
Consistent, clean, crisp and presentable appearance is also a key part of your branding and image - making you instantly recognisable and conveying that professional touch.

Not only are these big jobs, but don't they always seem to occur when you have a million other things to do. They get pushed down the pile a lot. And to make matters worse, you don't do them that often and the skill to build a clear, coherent document (not to mention a crisp, presentable one) just doesn't seem to hang around until the next time.
We can provide the skilled resource to get you through these jobs on a timely basis.
Note: Legal input may be required for some documents. We are happy to work with your normal legal advisors on those critical aspects.
Naturally, anything we write for you will be crisply presented in a style that fits your branding or the image you want to project with this report. If you need us to, we'll spruce up your templates.
However, if the work has been done, but the report just looks tired, disjointed, not so easy on the eye, short of impact or disappoints you in some other way, then we can take it and just smarten it up; anything from a quick tidy to a whole makeover. The changes could be layout, language, phrasing, sequence or many other things which can spoil a lot of hard work.
Flipping the presentation coin, maybe the proposal / report should be accompanied by a slide presentation for maximum impact. Are you comfortable preparing one of these, or would you like some help? It's not a skill that sits well with everyone; we understand that. Whether it's just preparing the slides or whether some coaching is needed; we're up for it.
Let's turn our attention now to those shorter documents that you use internally or which are on show to your customers or the public. To name a few ...

E-mails
Invoices / statements
Picking lists
Delivery dockets
Receipts
Financial reports
Compliments slips

These need to convey information well and look good at the same time. Many of them need templates for ease-of-use and consistent appearance. Whether it's just a tidy-up in one or two areas or a full review, existing branding or new branding, we're happy to handle a large or small job. We'd expect to work with your existing designers where relevant to maintain / enhance your "look" or create a new one.
