4 tips for smart writing

Why not write your next finance report the Axios way.

The Axios mission statement is “Axios gets you smarter, faster on what matters.” They’re focused on the news of course, but as an #accountant or #auditor, don’t you want to get your colleagues or clients smarter, faster?

If you do, you need to apply Axios’s four principles to your own writing:

1️⃣ Rephrase sentences to be shorter and clearer.

2️⃣ Reformat paragraphs so what’s key stands out.

3️⃣ Remove filler words so readers stay focused.

4️⃣ Style your text to be quick and easy to scan.

You can see what I mean by reading some of the news articles (US-focused) on the Axios website https://www.axios.com or even subscribe to their daily newsletter.

And if you want to see what your report would look like after an Axios-style makeover but don’t want to do it yourself, DM me.
