SERVICES I will proofread any type of document (or website) either on-screen using Word / Adobe Acrobat, or on hard copy. I will correct errors in grammar, spelling and punctuation.

Additional Information I set up Proofed Beyond Doubt after nearly 35 years in the financial services industry. My extensive experience in business and personal finance makes me an ideal proofreader for this type of material, although I have a generalist approach and will consider all non-scientific subjects. I am client-focused and flexible, have excellent organisational skills, am used to tight deadlines and am often able to accept smaller jobs at short notice for quick turnaround.

EXPERIENCE I have worked on a wide range of documents (and websites) including articles, company literature, dissertations, theses, government reports, and various industrial, conservation and financial magazines. I regularly work to tight schedules editing financial reports, where a very quick turnaround is required. I have a generalist approach and will consider all non-scientific subjects. As a result, I have worked on a wide variety of subject areas. I have particular experience in editing the work of non-native speakers of English. I proofread on-screen using Word / Adobe Acrobat, or on hard copy.
