Accountants for foreign clients in the Isle of Man

Many Isle of Man companies are owned by people who live elsewhere, so the island’s firms are used to working with clients abroad. The structures vary: trading companies, holding companies, trusts, foundations and private trust companies. The right firm is one that has handled yours.

On a profile, look at the entity types it names, the client groups, the sectors and the services next to accounting. Ask who your day-to-day contact is, how reporting reaches you abroad, and who acts as the nominated officer for beneficial ownership. The Companies Registry states that a nominated officer is a natural person resident in the Isle of Man or the holder of a licence under the Financial Services Act 2008, so ask which applies to you.
