I edit annual and interim reports, regulatory announcements, investor presentations and other corporate materials — ensuring the English is clear, professional and error-free.
You'd be surprised how often corporate materials are published with errors.
It's not a good look.
When reports, press releases and presentations contain spelling and grammar mistakes, awkward phrasing, or numbers that don't add up, it gets noticed — and it quietly undermines the credibility of otherwise strong companies.
That's where I come in.
I'm Matthew Bryan, founder of ClearStyle English. I edit your corporate materials before they're published. I correct errors and inconsistencies (in both the wording and the numbers) and sharpen the grammar and sentence structure, ensuring your materials are clear, well-written, and error-free.
ClearStyle English provides:
I handle all client materials personally, ensuring accountability, consistency, and experienced editorial judgement throughout the entire editing process.
My editing goes beyond spelling and grammar. I also fix unclear or unnatural phrasing and correct inconsistencies — including numerical discrepancies, where the figures in your text don't reconcile with each other or with your tables.
I treat all client materials as strictly confidential and never share or discuss them with anyone else. I understand that unpublished materials may contain inside information, and I can be added to your insider list. I'm also happy to sign your non-disclosure agreement (NDA) on request, or I can provide my own pre-signed NDA for your review.
I work on an annual retainer: a single fee covers the editing of your key corporate materials for the year — annual and interim reports, regulatory announcements, press releases, investor presentations, and more. There are no per-item charges and no surprises: you know your cost for the whole year in advance.
I keep the editing process simple, transparent, and efficient. I handle every item personally from start to finish.
Once your retainer is set up, you simply email me each report, announcement, or other material as it comes up, in Word, Google Docs, or PDF format. Note any deadline or specific requirements, and I'll confirm turnaround. There's nothing to arrange each time — it's covered by your retainer.
I edit your text using tracked changes (or comments if you prefer), ensuring a final version that reads smoothly and professionally while preserving your meaning.
You receive an edited file showing all changes, along with a clean final version of the text.
I'm Matthew Bryan, founder of ClearStyle English. I specialise in editing the English used in annual and interim reports, regulatory announcements, investor presentations, and other corporate materials.
My background combines senior-level professional writing with extensive international living and investing. I have:
This combination of experience led me to establish ClearStyle English. I base my service on delivering clear, professional English for companies operating in international markets, where language quality directly affects credibility.
Through years of living and investing internationally, I have become highly familiar with the recurring grammar, tone and phrasing issues that arise when companies produce corporate materials in English as a second language. My editorial background allows me to correct these issues while preserving meaning and maintaining a company's voice.
I take pride in delivering careful, thoughtful editing — and in making the process straightforward and reliable for every client.
I edit the English in annual and interim reports, corporate governance reports, regulatory announcements and press releases, investor presentations, scripts for presentations and speeches, AGM materials, LinkedIn posts, and routine website updates.
My service is designed for European companies that already communicate in English but want their content to sound clearer, more natural, and more professional.
All content is handled personally by me, Matthew Bryan, founder of ClearStyle English. Your content is never outsourced or viewed by anyone else. This ensures consistency, accountability, and a high standard of editorial judgement in everything I edit.
I treat all client materials as strictly confidential and never share or discuss them with anyone else. I understand that unpublished materials may contain inside information, and I can be added to your insider list. I am also happy to sign your non-disclosure agreement (NDA), or I can provide my own pre-signed NDA for your review.
Turnaround depends on length and complexity, and is confirmed when you send each item. As a general guide: regulatory announcements and press releases are usually turned around within a few hours; investor presentations and AGM materials usually take around two business days; interim reports around three business days; and annual reports up to five business days.
These timeframes count only my working hours, so “a few hours” means a few of my working hours. Anything sent outside them, such as early in the morning, in the evening, or on the weekend, counts from the start of my next working day. They are guidelines rather than fixed deadlines — because materials often cluster around reporting season, sending them with as much notice as possible helps me prioritise and hit the timing you need.
I work on an annual retainer. A single agreed fee covers the editing of your key corporate materials for the year — reports, announcements, press releases, investor presentations, and more — so there are no per-item charges or invoices to manage.
Tell me a little about your company's reporting cycle and the materials you publish, and I'll explain exactly how a retainer would work for you.
Anything you send or discuss with me is handled personally and kept strictly confidential.
