I am Louise Burton

Senior Virtual Assistant
Secretarial Support, Governance and Administration Services  

I am extremely organised with the ability to prioritise, take initiative and handle multiple workload pressures.

I have over 12 years of experience working within the Financial Services Industry in Guernsey and am STEP qualified. Most of my career has been with a small independent fiduciary in Guernsey where I progressed initially through the client-facing roles before moving into a Company Secretarial role.

In addition to managing the company secretarial aspects of administration for client companies, I was also involved with the end-to-end process for the in-house companies and committees. Within this role I also drafted, obtained approval of and implemented a number of new policies and procedures for the department.

I pride myself on being able to work effectively and flexibly individually and as part of a team. I am extremely organised with the ability to prioritise, take initiative and handle multiple workload pressures. 

My role at Virteffic is to provide governance and secretarial support. Since joining, I have been involved with:

  • preparing minutes;
  • proofreading minutes;
  • assisting with project work; and
  • producing training course content.

I have over 12 years of experience working within the Financial Services Industry in Guernsey and I am STEP qualified.
