Offshore Finance & Accountancy Jobs in Gibraltar
The British overseas territory of Gibraltar, a limestone outcrop on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, occupies a commanding position at the western gateway to the Mediterranean Sea.
With a combination of geographical location, climate and a unique history, Gibraltar has an obvious attraction to those wishing to savour a new lifestyle.
With mild winters averaging 59°F/ 15°C and warm summers 86°F/ 30°C, Gibraltar enjoys a Mediterranean climate. With its history of a strong British Military support and now a growing economic structure, offshore opportunities are becoming more and more common to those open to its charms.
Sharing a border with Spain and known to some as ‘The Rock’ in reference to the limestone land formation, Gibraltar has had a rich history in sovereignty. Direct flights from the UK take up to four hours.
Named in Arabic "Jabal Tariq", after the Muslim commander Tariq Ibn-Ziyad, who turned "the Rock" into a fortress in 711, Gibraltar has been an important naval base for more than 1,000 years.
This long maritime history has resulted in a diverse population. Most Gibraltarians are bilingual in English and Spanish, and are of mixed Genoese, British, Spanish, Maltese and Portuguese descent.
Gibraltarians are British citizens. They elect their own representatives to the territory's House of Assembly; the British monarch appoints a governor. Gibraltar is self-governing in all areas except defence and foreign policy. It is home to a British military garrison and naval base.
As an overseas territory of the UK, the Head of State is Queen Elizabeth II who is represented by the Governor of Gibraltar. Today Gibraltar has an extensive service-based economy dominated by financial services and online gaming.
As with many offshore jurisdictions, companies have relocated there to benefit from operating in a regulated jurisdiction with a favourable tax regime.
