Financial translation, without a figure out of place.
Certified translation and interpreting for banking, insurance, asset management, and fintech, where a single mistranslated term or number carries legal and financial consequence. Confidentiality built into every step, in 300+ languages.
Financial translation renders statements, disclosures, and agreements accurately across languages and accounting frameworks, where a mistranslated term or figure has legal and financial consequence. For filings and official use it carries a signed certificate of accuracy; for high-volume internal content, AI-assisted translation verified by linguists gets you there faster.
Why it matters
In finance, precision is an obligation
Two reasons financial documents can't be handled like ordinary translation.
A term or figure has consequence
Financial documents are dense with numbers, defined terms, and accounting concepts that don't map one-to-one across languages, IFRS and US GAAP genuinely differ (a "statement of financial position" isn't just a "balance sheet"). A literal word-swap that ignores the framework can misstate the meaning. For SEC filings, the standard is a "fair and accurate English translation."
Confidentiality & regulatory exposure
Financial documents hold some of the most sensitive data any organization handles, nonpublic customer information, deal terms, KYC/AML files. A translation vendor is a service provider under the GLBA Safeguards Rule, and inaccurate consumer-facing translation can create fair-lending and UDAAP risk. Getting it wrong is a compliance failure, not just a reputational one.
