Corporate Tax Manager – Guernsey Job – Offshore Accountancy

About Guernsey

Guernsey is part of the Channel Islands and although independently governed, the Channel Islands are under the protection of the British Crown.

Guernsey is the second largest island in the Channel Islands, with a population of approximately 60,000 based on an area of twenty five square miles.

It is in the GMT time zone and the official currency is Sterling.

Coupled with Jersey the island forms Europe's leading offshore jurisdiction and as such offers jobs in banking, insurance, trust and accountancy for financial professionals.

Due to the size of the island, its offshore status and the density of the population, strict controls have been imposed on who is allowed to live and work there.

In recent years the following areas have seen dramatic growth in Guernsey:

Fund Management
Insurance
Offshore Trust Formation
Private Banking

Guernsey is actively involved in assuring its current and future compliance with the global regulatory policy for offshore finance centres.
