The Offshore Professional Services Ecosystem
International structures — companies, trusts, foundations, investment funds and holding arrangements — require a range of specialist professional services to establish, administer and maintain. The offshore professional services ecosystem spans legal advisory, fiduciary and trust administration, corporate services, fund administration, accounting and audit, tax advisory, wealth management, property services and notarial services.
Each category of provider has a distinct role, distinct regulatory obligations and distinct expertise. Most complex offshore structures require coordinated advice from multiple categories of provider simultaneously — an offshore law firm to structure the arrangement, a corporate service provider or fiduciary to administer it, an accountant to audit it, and a tax advisor to ensure compliance across all relevant jurisdictions.
SearchOffshore lists licensed and regulated firms across all nine service categories in 30 offshore jurisdictions. Use the category pages below to find the right type of provider for your needs, then browse by jurisdiction to identify firms operating in the specific financial centre relevant to your structure.
