Italian-speaking accountants in Malta

Malta has long ties with Italy, and a number of firms serve Italian founders and families in Italian: from the first call to the engagement letter, the accounts and the filings. Working in your own language removes misunderstandings in a field where terms such as ricavi, contabilità or domiciliazione do not translate neatly.

Look for more than a language label. Ask who in the team speaks Italian and does the work, whether documents such as accounts and board minutes are produced in English only or can be explained in Italian, and whether the firm knows the Italian side of your position, such as where tax residence sits. A Maltese practice is not an Italian adviser unless it says so, and some founders keep both.

By service, all 22 offer accounting and company formation, 19 offer VAT and 16 offer payroll. Read the Malta guide or the page on accounting, or send one request through Accountanty.
