As a director, you want confidence that your board was operating effectively, not only in terms of compliance but also in how decisions were made, how risks were challenged, and how the board worked together as a team. A board effectiveness review is one of the most powerful tools to gain that clarity. However, the value of the review depends entirely on who carries it out, which makes choosing the right partner essential.
At Virteffic, we bring independence, insight, and practical governance experience together to deliver reviews that boards can trust and act upon. Here is what sets us apart.
- Local presence, personal insight – Our presence in Jersey and Guernsey enables us to conduct in person interviews and board observations. This allows us to capture boardroom dynamics and apply our understanding of island regulation and working culture to provide meaningful context.
- Practitioners, not just observers – We do not simply observe governance; we live it every day. Our team is actively engaged in secretarial support, minute writing, and advising on regulatory compliance. This ensures our reviews are grounded in genuine experience rather than theoretical principles.
- Independent, informed, and confidential – We balance independence with insight. We remain impartial and objective while keeping our questions and recommendations relevant and practical. All interviews and findings are handled with strict confidentiality, giving directors the space to speak openly.
- Practical, actionable outcomes – Boards need more than generic commentary. Our reports include clear, tailored recommendations that can be implemented immediately. We also offer structured follow up, from progress check ins to support with developing action plans, ensuring improvements are embedded rather than left on paper.
- Experience you can rely on – Our expertise combines formal training in board effectiveness reviews with years of hands on governance practice. We have supported a wide range of boards, from regulated funds to privately owned companies, giving us a broad understanding of what works across different operating environments.
- Transparent and competitive pricing – Boards expect independence, quality, and value. Our pricing reflects this. Because reviews are carried out entirely in house by qualified professionals, we offer excellent value compared with larger consultancies. We provide fixed fee proposals based on board size, interview scope, and documentation volume. Discounts are available for clients already using our secretarial services and for boards choosing a multi year review programme. Clients consistently tell us that our reviews deliver high quality insight at a sensible price point without compromising independence.
If we already support your board with secretarial services, we maintain strict separation of roles to preserve independence while still drawing on our understanding of your governance practices.
At Virteffic, we do not only review boards, we strengthen them. With local presence, proven expertise, and a pragmatic and confidential approach, we give boards the clarity and confidence they need to perform at their best.
If your board is ready for an independent review that delivers real results, we would be delighted to begin the conversation.
How Virteffic can support your board
Virteffic Limited is an independent governance specialist working with boards, committees, and senior leaders across Jersey, Guernsey, and further afield. Our perspective comes from real boardroom experience. We sit in meetings every week, see how directors work together, and understand the pressures and expectations that shape modern governance.
Our team includes qualified professionals who support clients with minute drafting, board coordination, pack preparation, and wider administration. Everything is handled in-house, which means your work is always managed with care, consistency, and complete confidentiality. Clients often tell us they value our steady approach, our attention to detail, and how easily we slot into their existing processes while still offering an objective view.
Board Effectiveness Reviews are a core part of what we do. These reviews provide a clear, honest picture of how the board is operating in practice, backed by practical recommendations that directors can act on. The insight we provide is shaped by real experience rather than theory, which helps boards improve decision-making, strengthen accountability, and stay focused on long-term performance. We offer both standalone assessments and multi-year programmes for boards who want structured, ongoing improvement.
We support regulated firms, private companies, fund boards, charities, and not-for-profit organisations looking for independence, discretion, and reliable expertise. If your board would benefit from an objective review or practical governance support, we would be pleased to help.
