Governance in practice. Built differently.
A specialist governance and company secretarial business supporting Boards, governance teams and organisations across Jersey, Guernsey and beyond.
Founded in 2020, Virteffic has grown from a flexible professional support business into a governance-led team providing flexible governance resource, Board and Committee support, independent reviews, governance consultancy and professional development.
What has remained constant is the principle on which Virteffic was built: experienced people should be able to deliver high-quality professional work through a model based on trust, flexibility and responsibility.
A different approach to professional services
After building a career across trust, corporate and fiduciary services, Tess Price founded Virteffic in 2020 with a clear idea: organisations should be able to access experienced professional support flexibly, and talented people should be able to build successful careers without being tied to traditional ways of working.
The aim was never simply to create a remote business. It was to build a professional model based on trust, responsibility, quality and flexibility, where client standards remained high while people had greater control over how they worked.
That principle continues to shape Virteffic today.
Read Tess’s storyFrom flexible professional support to governance in practice
As Virteffic has grown, client demand has increasingly centred around the areas in which our team has the deepest experience: governance, company secretarial work, Board and Committee support and professional minute-taking. That expertise has continued to broaden while the flexible delivery model has remained at the heart of the business.

Virteffic was designed around the belief that flexibility and professional standards can strengthen one another.

The five circles within the Virteffic identity represent principles that have been part of the business from the beginning.
Efficiency
Working thoughtfully and using time and resources well.
Confidentiality
Treating information with discretion, care and professional responsibility.
Flexibility
Adapting support around changing client requirements.
Diligence
Maintaining care, consistency and attention to detail.
Knowledge
Continuing to learn, share experience and strengthen professional judgement.
Our work is shaped by what we see in Boardrooms
Virteffic is not removed from day-to-day governance practice. Our team regularly supports Boards, Committees and governance professionals with meetings, minutes, governance projects, reviews and ongoing support.
That exposure gives us practical insight into the governance challenges organisations are navigating, from information quality and decision-making to Committee effectiveness, accountability, regulatory change and Board dynamics.
Those insights inform our governance consultancy, Board Effectiveness Reviews and professional development work.
Sharing what we learn through Virteffic Academy
Virteffic Academy brings together practical governance training, company secretarial development, director education, minute-taking, mentoring and future-governance learning.
Our programmes are informed by the work we undertake with Boards and governance teams throughout the year, helping translate real governance experience into practical professional development.
Explore Virteffic AcademySix years of governance in practice
Since 2020, our work has continued to broaden alongside the needs of the organisations we support.
The future of governance
Governance continues to evolve as Boards respond to changing regulation, technology, organisational complexity and stakeholder expectations.
We believe technology can support better governance, but it does not replace accountability, professional judgement or trusted relationships.
Our core principles
At the heart of Virteffic are five principles that shape how we work and how clients experience us.
- Efficiency – We respect your time. We work proactively, streamline processes and focus on outcomes that genuinely matter to boards and decision makers.
- Confidentiality – Trust underpins everything we do. We operate within a Cyber Essentials certified Microsoft environment and apply strict confidentiality obligations to protect client information.
- Flexibility – We adapt to your needs, systems and schedules. Support scales up or down depending on demand, without disruption.
- Diligence – We are meticulous and detail-focused. Whether drafting minutes or reviewing governance frameworks, accuracy and judgement are non-negotiable.
- Knowledge – Our team brings deep experience from regulated industries, including trust and wealth management, private equity, real estate, corporate services, legal, audit and insurance.
Virteffic’s logo reflects these principles, with five circles representing each value, centred around a commitment to high-quality service.
