A seasoned reporting consultant is able to:

• Provide a ‘short-cut’ to techniques, knowledge and information
• Offer professional services that do not exist in the organisation, or only needed for a specified period of time
• Solve specific challenges and situations
• Analyse, diagnose or criticise (constructively and independently)
• Facilitate the search for fresh ideas and solutions
• Implement new methodologies and systems that enhance efficiency and organisation
• Offer access to a network of related specialists

Why shouldn’t you just use your in-house employees, or even AI?

Professional report writers will:

• Laser focus on your reporting objectives
• Use their experience and knowledge to your advantage
• Write specifically for your intended audience
• Write throughout in a consistent tone and voice
• Help to develop ideas
• Avoid clichés and overworked angles and find a fresh way of describing your information
• Provide a second and evaluatory set of eyes to your strategic process and how you share information
• Suggest ways to improve your creation and gathering of relevant content
• Advise on and facilitate the appropriate media for effectively sharing your reporting

When considering corporate report writers, you may automatically jump to one of the familiar Big Five names. That might seem like your simplest and best choice initially, but other options may yield better final results for less expense.

Choosing a niche firm can provide these advantages:

• Custom, comprehensive solutions rather than pre-packaged answers
• Targeted efforts towards smaller projects instead of unwieldy contracts, allowing for a higher levels of targeted attention
• Working one-on-one or with a small consulting team allows you to assess the mix of talents working on your project, enabling intuitive collaboration
• Issues are resolved faster and possibly more creatively without the bureaucracy and frustrations often associated with larger firms
• Expertise-based consultants utilise their knowledge and deep competency to quickly gain traction on new projects
• Low-overhead, high-value pricing business model
• Furthermore, specialist agencies have the unique ability to collaborate with other specialists in the field. This means they can combine their expertise to tackle complex issues from multiple angles, ensuring a well-rounded approach

Most importantly, when you choose a specialist agency, you'll get a lot more value for a lot less money. Their business models are designed to deliver high-quality work without the hefty price tag that comes with big-name firms. This cost-effective approach doesn't compromise on quality; it enhances it by focusing on what truly matters for your business's success.

Depending on size and complexity, corporate reports can take a month or up to six months to prepare, particularly if being done for the first time. We have extensive experience working over 28 years with multiple industries and scales of business, so you can trust our ability to work efficiently as possible.

Once a reporting process is established and information sources identified, reports can be prepared swiftly and with minimum fuss, though this does depend on client cooperation and attention to the process.

Setting a benchmark price is difficult, unless the source material is complete and understood at the outset. The overall fee can vary widely based on the scope (how many factors and aspects are included) and the size of the business, particularly if it has subsidiaries.

A company’s initial report is often its most costly, with consequent reports usually cheaper due to being updated rather than redrafted from scratch.

The return on investment in reporting depends on how the company manages its findings. Those that use its findings to identify and pursue opportunities, side-step risks, cut costs and please their stakeholders will derive immense value from their reports.
