A Financial Copywriter That Delivers Clear Messaging and Makes Complex Financial Language Understandable
As a financial services copywriter, I cut through the jargon and get to the core message. I combine my knowledge of financial markets with clear, persuasive copy.
What Makes a Good Financial Services Copywriter?
‘The financial market is quite varied, so research is important. If the writer knows what they’re talking about, it really comes across in the text. And in turn, that really gains the reader’s trust. I think it’s important to establish a brand language early on as well. In the business-to-consumer sphere, I see the role of the copywriter as making complex information sound simple. Whereas if it’s business-to-business, you can use few more technical terms.’
Jamie Thomson, Brand New Copy

How My Financial Copywriting Services Work
Every piece of copywriting work I do for my clients in financial services is properly researched, factually accurate and sourced accordingly. I guarantee that your final copy will be original and unique. To get things started, I always ask a series of questions to gather all the information I need to begin working on your project. I’ll then give you a quote for the work and once everything is agreed, I’ll get started. After your first draft, I offer amendments until you’re happy with the final results.
I understand that finance is heavily regulated and we always endeavour to ensure that your advertising and promotions are compliant with the Financial Conduct Authority’s regulations. I make the effort to ensure that my copywriting positions your offerings in a way that is clear, fair and in no way misleading, regardless of the media type.
