Job Description

A rare opportunity to join one of our key clients in Guernsey as Head of Client Accounting, leading a critical function across trusts, corporate structures, and funds.

This is a senior leadership role with real breadth and influence — combining financial reporting, tax compliance, team leadership, audit oversight, and strategic transformation across a large and diverse portfolio of client entities.

Responsibilities include:

  • Leading the client accounting function across a substantial portfolio of trusts, companies, and funds, ensuring the timely delivery of financial statements, quarterly NAV reporting, and related client reporting.
  • Overseeing tax compliance across Guernsey and UK Corporation Tax, VAT, FATCA, CRS, and Economic Substance requirements, ensuring accuracy and adherence to regulatory deadlines.
  • Managing, mentoring, and developing accounting and bookkeeping teams, setting KPIs and driving performance across the wider function.
  • Driving process improvement, governance, and digital transformation within the department, while managing external audits and aligning outputs with business objectives.

This role will suit a commercially aware and technically strong accounting leader who combines precision with strategic thinking. You’ll need excellent communication skills, a collaborative leadership style, and the confidence to engage with stakeholders at senior level while maintaining exceptionally high standards.

If you are someone who enjoys building robust processes, developing people, and making a meaningful impact in a growing and evolving business then please apply today with your latest CV or contact Marcel on 01481 714634 or email info@firstcall.co.gg.
