Why your financial reports deserve great design by Epigram
Turning numbers into stories that build credibility and connection
Financial reports have come a long way. They’re no longer just about ticking compliance boxes or sharing figures internally. Today, they’re key communication tools that influence how your organisation is viewed by clients, investors, regulators, and your own team. Whether you’re producing an annual review, an ESG report, a white paper or a performance update, how you present the content matters just as much as the content itself.
At Epigram, we’ve spent over 30 years working with legal and professional services firms to bring clarity and impact to complex communications. We’ve crafted everything from the DWF Corporate Governance Report and Linklaters’ FRC Annual Report, to Osborne Clarke’s white papers and Taylor Wessing’s digital Corporate Deals Compendium. We know how to transform complex financial content into clear, confident and compelling communications that reflect the strength of your brand.
Make your data work harder
Design brings structure, clarity and impact
Financial content can be overwhelming, even for experienced readers. That’s where design comes in. With a clear layout, intuitive flow and visual hierarchy, we help make your reports easier to read and understand. It’s about guiding your audience to the key messages, without making them wade through walls of numbers.
Whether someone reads cover to cover or dips in for quick insights, good design makes the experience more effective and enjoyable. It builds trust and encourages engagement.
Infographics that do the heavy lifting
Simplify the complex. Highlight the essential.
Infographics are one of the best ways to bring data to life. They make stats easier to digest, reveal trends and patterns, and help your readers grasp key messages at a glance. Whether you’re showing growth, summarising performance, or illustrating ESG milestones, a strong infographic gives your content added punch and clarity.
Your brand, brought to life
A well-designed report says a lot about you
Every report is a reflection of your organisation’s values and attention to detail. An outdated layout or messy formatting can dilute even the strongest message. On the flip side, a polished, on-brand design helps you come across as credible and professional. It reassures your audience and reinforces your identity.
We create long-form reports and design systems that bring structure and clarity, while showcasing the personality and professionalism of your brand.
Designed for everyone
Make your reports inclusive and accessible
Accessibility is now a must-have. We design reports to meet modern accessibility standards, with features like screen reader compatibility, clear typography and strong colour contrast. This helps ensure your communications are inclusive, compliant and easy to use across different platforms. At Epigram we can prepare an Accessibility Analysis Report for your brand, with valuable insight and ideas for making your brand as accessible as possible – for more information please email design@epigram.co.uk.
If you want to go further, we can also create interactive digital summaries using platforms like Ceros or Foleon. These versions are engaging, mobile-friendly, and come with built-in analytics so you can track how your content performs.
