I am Claudette Taylor
Senior Virtual Assistant
Secretarial Support and Administration Services
I am organised and proactive with an eye for detail and accuracy.
I am born and educated in Jersey. My career in the finance industry commenced in 2003 as a Trainee Trust and Company administrator and have since gained 18 years in the industry and progressed to Trust Manager at a multinational bank. My background is in private wealth, with extensive experience in corporate and trust administration. In my previous role, I was responsible for the day-to-day administration and management of a diverse range of clients with complex and bespoke structures and connections to numerous jurisdictions. My clients were middle eastern ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families who were also PEPs.
My role, together with gaining the Certificate in offshore administration and the ICSA Diploma, has assisted in gaining technical knowledge and expertise of local legislation and regulatory requirements and corporate governance.
My role at Virteffic is to provide secretarial support and administrative support. Since joining, I have been involved with:
- drafting board minutes and action points from recordings for regulated and non-regulated, Jersey companies and Cayman Islands entities;
- attending board meetings via face-to-face and remotely in order to draft the minutes and action points following the meeting;
- arranging and prepared the board packs for the quarterly and ad hoc board meetings of regulated and non-regulated Jersey companies;

I handle all matters with the utmost discretion and confidentiality.
