Offshore Finance & Accountancy Jobs in the Cayman Islands
One of the world's largest financial centres and a well-known tax haven, this British overseas territory in the Caribbean has more registered businesses than it has people. The Caymans is now ranked as the fifth largest financial centre in the world, behind only London, Tokyo, New York and Frankfurt.
Grand Cayman, where the capital George Town is located and its sister islands Cayman Brac and Little Cayman have natural attractions too. Crystal clear waters, world famous beaches, coral reefs and abundant marine life, as well as an enviable year round climate, make them a popular haunt for the wealthier visitor.
Tourism, banking and property are big money earners, having overtaken the traditional trades of fishing, turtle hunting and shipbuilding. More than 6,000 funds, nearly 600 banks and tens of thousands of companies operate through the islands, offering professionals challenging and interesting work, as well as that much sought after quality of life.
Working in one of the leading off-shore jurisdictions in the world, the financial services clients on offer will stand you in good stead. An attractive location for those wanting to live their life whilst building a solid career.
Once a dependency of Jamaica, the Cayman Islands came under direct British rule in 1962. Granted greater autonomy under a 1972 constitution, the islands are largely self-governing and economically self-sufficient. Professionals in the Caymans work under a UK framework and legal system.
Located in the western Caribbean Sea, south of Miami and Cuba and North West of Jamaica, Christopher Columbus discovered the islands in 1503 naming them Las Tortugas, after the giant turtles that he sighted in the surrounding seas. The islands were later renamed Caymanas, from the Carib Indian word for a crocodile. The average Cayman temperature is 78°F/ 26°C in winter and 86°F/ 30°C in summer.
The Caymans has no direct tax leading to its increasing popularity with corporate and personal investors. Direct flights from the UK take approximately ten hours.
