ABOUT ME:
Hello, I'm Trevor, originally from Dublin, Ireland. I'm a semi-retired C-level executive and have been a business leader, investor, and board member for over 25 years. I know what it takes to present board-level documentation. I’m multilingual, and I’ve lived in a dozen countries where I have run large teams. I have raised several million dollars in venture financing and am familiar with the investment process. I'm also a judge at the annual Business Book Awards.

Why Editing and Proofreading?

Short answer? I have scrutinized hundreds of investment documents over the years and developed an eye for detail. And I get annoyed when I see a beautifully presented financial report, board paper, or legal document with typos, errors, and inconsistencies.

Business leaders are overwhelmed with information, and you must get to the point quickly. Business documentation is not just a reflection of the writer. It’s also a reflection of the business. WHY ME? This is not just about correcting typos.

With me, you’ll get the scrutiny of a board-level executive with many years of experience being on both sides of the investment table—presenting to investors on the one hand and scrutinizing investment documents on the other. I have a technology background and am very familiar with the tech industry.

Being multi-lingual, I’ve run international teams, which means I can take non-native English text and smooth it over so that it comes across as “native.” I got into this business by accident; many investors have asked me to check investment reports over the years, and due to the confidential nature of the work, I’m trusted. I set up an agency with a few other semi-retired executives as a side gig. It’s not our core business; we’re pretty selective about our work. And I believe that the price I charge is good value for money.

What's my methodology?

In my time, I have written and read hundreds of management and leadership books, reports, white papers, investment pitches, and academic journals, as well as marketing and sales copy.

I have presented this information to investors and boards, as well as academic and government panels, and I've reviewed investment documentation myself as an investor.

I also scrutinize the document from the point of view of the decision maker, ensuring that arguments are well formulated and tightly structured, paying close attention to fact-checking, sources, and references.
