Anyone willing to share report templates or examples? Not asking for proprietary stuff, just formatting ideas. My reports work but they're pretty basic looking.
Report Template Sharing?
What specific sections are you struggling with Tom? Executive summary, technical details, recommendations? Might be easier to give targeted advice.
Tom, are you using Excel for charts then copying into Word? Try PowerPoint instead - much better chart formatting options, then copy as high-resolution images.
Dave's right about PowerPoint. Also consider hiring a graphic designer for a template. $500 investment but makes your reports look much more professional.
Or use Canva for report layouts. Lots of business report templates that look great. Much cheaper than custom design work.
Tom, I've got a Word template I use for standard commercial audits. Nothing fancy but it's clean and professional. Can share if you want.
Brett, mainly the visual presentation of findings. My charts look amateur compared to some reports I've seen from competitors.
