What our clients say about our annual report work

The best experience I have had

I have been writing and/or producing Annual Reports for 10 years now and this has been the best experience I have had.

It was a very smooth collaboration and we even managed to get to be creative!

Property Industry Foundation

Helpful support for a story-led annual report

As a time-poor marketing and communications lead, I relied on Amanda to sift through raw content from the program teams for 37 services, and recommend the strongest stories and information that demonstrated our the impact of our services.

Amanda was very helpful in pulling together a strong draft that highlighted key statistics, results and case studies.

I would absolutely recommend Amanda to businesses, and particularly not-for-profits, for support in writing their annual reports.

Annual report writing services FAQs

What is an annual report?

An annual report is a record of a company or organisation’s operations and financial performance in the previous year. Some companies produce an annual report to meet regulatory or legislative requirements, while others choose to produce a report to communicate with investors, stakeholders and partners.

How much do annual reports cost to produce?

The cost of producing an annual report varies based on factors like the size of the company, reporting and legislative obligations, and complexity of operations and performance.

Does my company or organisation have to publish an annual report?

It depends on your location, industry, and regulatory and legislative requirements. In Australia, companies listed on the ASX must submit an annual report to ASIC and NFPs submit an annual report to the Australian Charities and Not For Profits Commission.

Can WorkWords Content design our annual report?

Yes. We work with a network of experienced designers from concept to delivery.
