Since 2006
A trusted UK financial translation partner since 2006 — 20+ years specialising in annual reports, M&A and regulatory documentation.
Authorities and registers
UK regulators and reporting standards
For UK financial translation we work within the FCA / PRA / FRC framework with IFRS, FRS 102 and US GAAP as public reporting standards — terminology aligned, no IFRS certification claimed.
IFRS, FRS 102 and US GAAP are public reporting standards. Our specialist translators have worked since 2006 with annual reports and prospectuses for listed companies and have the terminology of these frameworks in the main language combinations to hand. We make no claim of IFRS certification or audit qualification — translation is not the same as auditing or advisory work. For specific terminology choices we work alongside your finance or audit team via glossary.
How confidential is an M&A or due-diligence translation?
For M&A, IPO and due-diligence projects we work under NDA — your firm's template or ours. For data-room access we provide a UK GDPR data processing agreement (DPA). Our translators are individually bound by confidentiality agreements with Ecrivus. Documents are exchanged via SFTP/encrypted channel — no email attachments for M&A material.
How quickly can you deliver a report or prospectus translation?
We respond within 1 hour on working days to financial translation requests. Lead time itself is confirmed in the quote based on: report scope, language combinations, number of markets and any finance-review layer. For annual report cycles we plan against AGM date; for IPO deadlines we work with multiple translators in parallel where needed.
What does a financial translation cost?
Our rates for financial translation follow market standard for specialist work. Indicative £0.12–£0.22 per word depending on language combination and complexity. For recurring clients and cyclical deliverables (annual reports, quarterly statements, fund factsheets) we build translation memory + glossary that delivers 20–40% saving on repeating segments.
In which languages do you translate financial documentation?
We deliver financial translation in more than 225 languages. For the main UK-relevant combinations several specialist translators with financial-sector experience per combination. For emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe and worldwide markets also native specialists.
Do you work with the FCA, PRA or other regulators?
Ecrivus is a translation agency, not a regulator and not an audit firm. The FCA, PRA and FRC are UK regulators; MiFID II is the UK/EU framework. For specific regulatory questions we refer to your own compliance or legal team.
Do you also work with AI / DeepL for financial translation?
For financial documentation machine translation alone is insufficient — terminology precision, framework awareness (IFRS / FRS 102 / US GAAP) and confidentiality requirements are essential. We use DeepL Pro, OpenAI and Anthropic as productivity tools for concept translation, followed by full post-editing and revision by a specialist translator. For M&A, IPO and prospectus documents we deliver full human work.
