      I thought that was it - how much 'wordage space' are you wanting to use? Where is it for?

      French houses explained by an English adviser!
      To see a world in a grain of sand
      And a heaven in a wild flower

              Bit of a riddle for something so simple! I suggested 'Native English speaker' ..but it sounds a bit cave man like/Red Indian...not quite the impression you want to give to clients for a forward thinking firm!
              For what it's worth, I work in publishing and we do use the native English phrase: 'native English editor' or 'native English speaker'. It's sometimes the only way to convey exactly what you need without getting bogged down in detail.

                But if they see the words 'Business Adviser', then only English speakers would understand that anyway...so is there any need to add the English bit?
