Bio
I have over 10 years of experience in translating business texts from Finnish to English on a full-time basis. I also translate from English to Finnish from time to time. My areas of specialisation are mutual funds, sustainable investment, financial reporting, business communications and contracts. I also have a good understanding of supply chain management, logistics, purchasing, sustainability and environmental issues, economics, and SAP. I pay attention to detail and research my translations carefully, and spare no effort in revising my translations to produce high quality text. 

I have spent a large part of my life abroad, and I have received a mainly English-language education. Having been educated and brought up in English-speaking environments, English has become my strongest written language. That is why I am first and foremost a Finnish to English translator. I also have the most experience translating from Finnish to English. 

I received my master's degree in French and Translation Studies in 2003 from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, and I have applied this learning to my Finnish to English translations. Much of the progress that I have made as a professional translator has been while working as an in-house translator at Bellcrest Translations Ltd between 2004 and 2016, where I focused on Finnish to English translation work for fund management companies and various other, mostly Finnish companies.

I became a freelancer in 2017 and I completed a BBA in International Business in 2021. Business studies have been highly beneficial for translating texts related to financial reporting and the investment markets, for example, as I now have a good understanding of accounting concepts that are used in financial statements, rather than just translating a series of terms without fully understanding their meaning. I also have a solid understanding of economics.

If you have a text in the financial field or in another area which needs to be translated from Finnish to English, please get in touch and let's see if we can collaborate!
