Specialized Accounting Services
Our qualified & experienced accountants prepare the Accounting Records, Annual Financial Returns, and Financial Statements of your BVI Company — accurately, on time, and at a competitive price. All accounting is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) using the same professional software used by Big 4 firms, producing records and reports that are recognised and accepted by banks, regulators, and counterparties across all major jurisdictions. Every client works directly with a qualified accountant who knows their company — not a helpdesk, not a junior, and not a different person every time you call.
BVI Annual Returns
The BVI Business Companies Act requires every BVI Business Company to prepare and submit an Annual Financial Return to its Registered Agent within nine months of its financial year-end. The return consists of a simplified balance sheet and income statement — unaudited, confidential, and not publicly filed. Our accounting team(s) prepare your Accounting Records and Annual Financial Return from source documentation, ensuring accuracy and timely submission. Whether your company is a simple holding structure, part of a multination group, or a trading entity, or a dormant vehicle, we handle the process from start to finish so you stay compliant and in good standing.
Financial Statements
Where a full set of Financial Statements is required — for banking purposes, investor due diligence, regulatory submissions, or group reporting — we prepare them in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), complete with accompanying notes and disclosures. Our Financial Statements are prepared directly from the Accounting Records we maintain for your company, ensuring full consistency between your Annual Return and your formal accounts. We use the same professional software used by Big 4 firms, delivering a complete set of Financial Statements with full accompanying notes — ready to be presented with confidence to any bank, authority, or institution that requests them.

The BVI Business Companies Act requires BVI Business Companies to submit an Annual Financial Return to their Registered Agent which is due nine months after the end of the financial year to which the annual return relates (limited exceptions apply).
The template of the return consists of a simple Income Statement and Balance Sheet and will not need to be audited. It can also be prepared in any currency, in which the Company prepares its financial records. You can see a copy of the return here.
We advise all of our clients to keep proper Financial Records to make the preparation of their Company’s Annual Financial Return easier.

The BVI Business Companies Act states that all BVI Companies need to keep Financial Records and underlying documentation, which can be kept at any place around the world, but the Record-Keeping Address and Record Keeper need to be known by the Registered Agent of the Company. The documents need to be kept for a period of 5 years from the date of the transaction they relate to.
Financial Records can be any document which ‘explains’ the Financial Transactions of the Company. Such records may be but are not limited to Invoices, Bank Statements, Agreements, and any other document of accounting significance.
For more information on Financial Records you can read our blog article here.
Audit of Financial Statements is not required in the BVI unless the Company is regulated (depending on type of regulation).
