Career opportunities available
The Cayman Islands offer a cosmopolitan lifestyle, with more than 1,200 professionally qualified accountants from around the world employed in the offshore financial services sector.
What types of career opportunity are available to newly or recently qualified accountants who want to work in the Cayman Islands? Roles will typically fall into three areas:
- Financial Services Audit with the Big Four
- Financial Accounting roles in the re/insurance sector
- Insolvency & Restructuring roles with specialist practitioners
To be successful in securing a Cayman accounting job, you’ll need to be fully qualified as an ACA/CA, CPA or ACCA. A personality match is considered key too: employers in the Cayman Islands are looking for confident, outgoing staff who are a good ‘Island fit’. They are also looking for accountants who are genuinely passionate about their career in finance and are keen to progress their career development.
Expat remuneration and benefits
In addition to work permit sponsorship, a generous relocation package is included as standard for all Cayman jobs; and as the Island enjoys 0% income tax, you will have the chance to save more for the future. There is often some form of bonus incentive and professional fees from your institute at home are usually covered, as is medical insurance.
Enjoy the experience of a lifetime
Whilst you can certainly expect to put in a good day’s work, you’ll find that the work/life balance is impossible to surpass. Bear in mind that the Cayman Islands is a major Caribbean tourist destination as well as a business centre, meaning the opportunities for outdoor sport, activities and socialising are exceptional.
