Written for Haitian Creole financial statement records
What is inside a set of Haitian états financiers
The statements use French accounting vocabulary, so the labels map onto US terms, but the paperwork around them is Haitian.
Bilan, compte de résultat and the auditor's report
A full set holds the bilan (balance sheet), the compte de résultat (income statement), the tableau des flux de trésorerie and the notes annexes, usually preceded by the auditor's report, the rapport du vérificateur or du commissaire aux comptes, from a firm registered with the Ordre des Comptables Professionnels Agréés d'Haïti. We translate the labels into US terms, keep the French label on first use, and translate the auditor's opinion word for word, since a qualified opinion is what a lender reads first.
A fiscal year ending 30 September
Haitian companies close their books on 30 September to match the state's fiscal year, which starts on 1 October. A statement headed exercice 2024-2025 covers October 2024 to September 2025, and the translation spells that out rather than leaving a year range a US reader might take for a calendar year. Figures are in gourdes unless the company reports in dollars, and the currency stays on every total.
Patente, quitus and the registre du commerce
A visa petition or a lender rarely wants the statements alone. They travel with the patente, the annual business licence paid through the Direction Générale des Impôts, the quitus fiscal showing no tax is owed, the registration certificate from the Ministère du Commerce et de l'Industrie, and sometimes the notice in Le Moniteur that published the company's formation. Each is a short French document we translate under its own heading in the same order.
Who is asking for your Haitian Creole financial statement translation?
The translation is the same. What changes is whether the recipient wants anything added to it.
Banks and lenders
A lender assessing a business loan or a foreign buyer's finances accepts a certified translation of the audited statements. Send the complete set so the figures can be checked against the notes.
Immigration investor programs
EB-5 and E-2 petitions document the source of funds with financial statements. USCIS asks for a complete English translation and a signed certification from the translator.
Courts and bankruptcy trustees
A trustee or a court reviewing assets held abroad wants the statements translated in full and certified. Add notarization if the court asks for it.
Before you upload
Three things that save a day of back and forth on a Haitian Creole financial statement.
Send the statements with their notes
The balance sheet, the income statement and the cash flow statement are read with the notes that explain them. Upload the full report, including the auditor's letter, so nothing is cited that the translation lacks.
Keep the tables as tables
A clean PDF, or the spreadsheet the report was made from, lets the translator keep each column where it is. Photos of printed tables are slower and easier to misread.
Tell us the audience
A bank reads a statement differently from a tax office or a court. Say in the order notes who will receive it so the accounting terms fit that reader.

Haitian Creole Financial Statement FAQ
Most questions about pricing and turnaround can be answered faster by requesting a quote.
- What does USCIS need from the Haitian company for an L-1 petition?
- The petition shows the Haitian company is real and trading, so the file usually carries the latest états financiers, the patente, bank statements and the payroll or DGI withholding returns. USCIS reads all of it in English with a certification on each document. Order the set together and say which pages belong to which document; the translator keeps the company name and its form, S.A. or otherwise, exactly as Le Moniteur published them.
- Our accountant produced the statements without an audit. Is that enough?
- That is for the recipient to decide, and many small Haitian businesses have no audited statements at all. We translate what exists: management accounts, a tableau from the accountant, or the DGI declaration that reports turnover. The certification states that the translation matches the document given to us; it does not vouch for the accounting. If the recipient wants an auditor's report, that has to come from Haiti first.
- Our statements are part of a printed annual report. Do you need all of it?
- No. Send the full PDF and tell us which pages to translate. The statements, the notes and the auditor's report are what a lender or USCIS reads; the chairman's letter, the photos and the project pages can stay out unless someone asks for them. The certification then names the pages translated, so nobody assumes the whole report was covered.
- How much does a certified translation cost?
- Certified translation is $25 per page, with a page counted as up to 250 words. Notarization, a mailed physical copy and an apostille are optional and priced separately.
- How long does a certified translation take?
- Standard turnaround starts at 24 hours and depends on the length and language of your documents. If you have a deadline, include it in your quote request.
