I am Claudette Taylor
Minute Writer and Senior Virtual Assistant
I’m an organised and proactive Senior Virtual Assistant born and educated in Jersey.
With a remarkable career in the finance industry that began in 2003, I’ve accumulated over 18 years of invaluable experience.
Starting as a Trainee Trust and Company Administrator, I progressed to the role of Trust Manager at a multinational bank, specialising in private wealth, before joining Virteffic.
Professional Background
My expertise lies in corporate and trust administration, managing a diverse range of clients, including Middle Eastern ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families, some of whom were PEPs.
Holding both the Certificate in Offshore Administration and the ICSA Diploma, I’ve gained in-depth technical knowledge of local legislation, regulatory requirements, and corporate governance frameworks.
I approach all matters with the utmost discretion and confidentiality. My aim is to deliver top-quality administration and dependable results for our clients.
If you’re seeking a dedicated professional for your secretarial and administrative needs, I’m here to support your business.

Outside the Office
