Offshore Trust Accounting Jobs

what to expect

Trust accounting is a highly unique and niche area where individuals focusing their career on trusts can develop extremely trusted relationships with high-net-worth individuals and business owners who can solidify their standing in a tiny but valuable global community.


Trust accounting is quite formulaic in that the accounting itself can be rudimentary; however, client relationship skills and providing access to different ancillary services to assist the client are key. You have your day-to-day accounting, administering the compliance, and occasionally may cross over into duties similar to private banking.

Earning Potential

Higher, tax-free, or low-tax salaries in offshore jurisdictions make it an attractive prospect for those looking to improve their earning potential.

Career Potential

Enhance your career with international financial services experience at a globally recognised firm, with the potential to achieve more rapid promotion than is typical onshore.

Work-Life Balance

Life offshore is often more balanced, with shorter commutes and more balanced work hours than onshore. This topped with an island lifestyle makes for paradise found.

What Experience is Needed?

Strong technical accounting skills are required; frequently, we see candidates from the Big4 in funds move into the field, however, it can be flexible to candidates from all areas assuming they are qualified and have the personality and interpersonal skills to match.

Continued career progression will occur in looking after larger clients, taking more autonomy in relationship management, and overseeing other team members and support staff. Business needs can drive this, so business development, referrals, and networking can be crucial in career progression and promotion.
