If you are looking for a translation agency for the first time, here are some hints to help you make the best choice.

Financial and accounting translation requires not only strict confidentiality and consistent quality, but in many cases speed as well.
Financial statements, financial results reports, accounting manuals, audit reports, annual securities reports, financial tables, budgets, tax documents, accounting regulations, earnings summaries (kessan tanshin), semi-annual reports, quarterly reports, equity analyst reports, product descriptions for investors, bond market reports, foreign exchange and futures reports, investment prospectuses, press releases, corporate reports, financial product descriptions, terms of use, terms and conditions, due diligence documents, research reports, notices of shareholders' meetings, business reports, earnings presentation materials, internal control documents, compliance manuals, corporate governance reports, articles of incorporation, shareholder newsletters and company profiles
We fully understand that clients are very careful about releasing highly confidential financial documents outside their company. We normally review the document before providing a quote, but if this is a concern, we can, for example, estimate the difficulty from a single anonymized sample page and give you an approximate quote based on the word count. Please feel free to consult us. We are also happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement before receiving your documents.
We will let you know the standard delivery time when we send our quote. If you have a specific deadline in mind, please tell us when you request a quote, and we will confirm whether we can meet it.
Please let us know not only when you are in a hurry, but also when you have time to spare. Highly skilled translators are always working on several projects at once, and giving us more time increases the chance that the best translator for your project can take it on.
Please let us know in advance any company names, addresses, departments, job titles and personal names (with readings) that you can provide. If none are specified, we will research them before delivery, but please understand that they often cannot be confirmed from public sources. If you have translations of related documents or reference materials and need consistent document titles, terminology and style, please provide them as well.
"Will the translation be delivered on time?" "Will the quality be good enough to share outside the company?" Using a translation agency for the first time can raise many concerns. If you are unsure about the level of quality, please try our free translation trial. It is a good opportunity to judge not only the finished translation but also our process and communication up to delivery, and to see whether our service meets your needs. The free trial covers approximately 400 characters of Japanese or 200 words of English.
