Accounting and bookkeeping in Gibraltar

A Gibraltar company owned from abroad still keeps its books to Gibraltar’s rules, and the owner is rarely on the Rock to see them kept. Bookkeeping, management figures and the annual financial statements are what most foreign founders hand to a local firm first, because every later filing draws on those records. The company’s activity shapes the work: a fund vehicle, a crypto business or a yacht-owning company each produce very different ledgers.

Before you engage anyone, ask which accounting software the firm uses and whether you can see the ledgers online. Ask who prepares the year-end statements, how often you receive management accounts, and whether the fee covers tax returns and filings or quotes them separately. If your structure includes a trust or a foundation as well as a company, check that the same team can keep both sets of books.

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep my Gibraltar company's books myself from abroad?

You can record transactions yourself, but most foreign owners pass the books to a Gibraltar firm so the year-end statements and filings are prepared by someone who works with the local rules every day.

Do Gibraltar accounting firms also handle trusts and foundations?

Many do. Trusts and foundations are among the structures named most often by firms on this page, so ask whether one engagement can cover the company and the wider structure.

How is an accounting fee in Gibraltar usually set?

Usually by the volume of transactions and the reports you need. Ask for a written quote that separates bookkeeping, year-end accounts and filings so you can compare firms fairly.
