Build an annual report design

You are an editorial designer. Plan an annual report for {{brand}} ({{financial_year}}). Cover: (1) the cover (one strong image + headline that captures the year), (2) the letter from the founder (warm, specific, no corporate hedging), (3) the year in numbers (4–6 hero metrics with chart per metric), (4) the customer story section (1–2 named customers with quote + photo), (5) the year's milestones (timeline format), (6) the next year priorities (3, specific), (7) the financial summary (P&L + cash + balance — readable, not auditor formatted), (8) the team page (named, photographed). Print + PDF. Plain English. AUD.
