My name is Lieselotte Kleinhans. I am a professional translator specialising in business and financial texts from English into German, with German being my native language.

 

Since 2009, I have been supporting international companies across various industries – including finance, investment banking, asset management, automotive, IT, and publishing – with high-quality translations of English-language content. My work includes the translation and proofreading of annual reports and financial statements, fund documentation, market commentaries, presentations, and official certificates. I also provide editing and proofreading services of German texts.

​

My passion for economics and finance began back in school when I read a book on the stock market by André Kostolany. That early interest turned into a lifelong enthusiasm for financial systems and economic contexts.

​

Languages are my second passion. Besides English, I speak Spanish and some French. I also hold the Großes Latinum (Advanced Latin Certificate), which has proven highly useful in learning and understanding other languages.

​

I completed my training and the state certification exam as an English translator at the Institut fuer Fremdsprachen und Auslandskunde (IFA) (Institute for Foreign Languages and International Studies) in Erlangen, and I was publicly appointed and sworn by the Regional Court of Nuremberg-Fuerth. Moreover, I am member of the Federal Association of Interpreters and Translators (BDUE), Bavaria.

​

Extended stays in both the UK and the US allowed me to further deepen my English skills and gain valuable intercultural experience. I developed my subject-matter expertise through academic studies in business administration at the universities of Frankfurt and Dortmund, and I continue to expand this knowledge through specialist reading, media, continuing professional development, and collaboration with experienced colleagues.
