Corporate governance and regulation continue to mould the future direction of Guernsey’s fiduciary and trust sector.  BDO’s dedicated Fiduciary and Private Wealth team offers a deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges. 

Our long history in Guernsey has seen us take an active role in fiduciary work for many years. We work with a variety of licensed independent and bank-owned fiduciaries, from small Guernsey-based companies to international groups.  We also regularly act for clients with wealth interests that extend across jurisdictions.  Unlike many accountancy practices in Guernsey, BDO is independent and free from association with a local financial services business.

BDO offers a number of tailored service options for Guernsey fiduciaries and their clients. Our sector focus and the expertise of our people combine to form an efficient service with clear fee structures.

Our services include audit, assurance and tax, which range from tax compliance services to tax planning and transfer pricing reviews. We work with fiduciaries in their own right and in their capacity as trustees and directors of client trusts and companies.

Our services are designed to give confidence to the regulator and are tailored to provide the best assurance for each client’s business. Beyond our comprehensive audit BDO’s wide range of assurance support includes controls assurance, reporting on financial statements and agreed upon procedures.
