Offshore Finance & Accountancy Jobs in Bahamas
An archipelago of 700 islands and islets, the Bahamas is located within arguably the clearest waters in the world. Attracting millions of tourists each year, the visitors come to enjoy its mild climate, fine beaches and beautiful forests.
A former British colony and now a Commonwealth member, the country is a major centre for offshore finance and has one of the world's largest open-registry shipping fleets. The islands can offer professionals challenging and interesting work, as well as that much sought after quality of life. An attractive location for those wanting to live their life whilst building a solid career.
The Bahamas extends 760 miles from the coast of Florida on the north-west, close to Haiti on the south-east. The principal island is New Providence where the capital, Nassau, is located. Direct flights to Nassau from the UK take approximately 8 hours. Warm and pleasant, the average Bahamian temperature is 70°F/ 21°C in the winter and 86°F/ 30°C in the summer.
The Bahamas enjoys a high per capita income, most of which is concentrated in the commercial and tourist centres. Its economy has experienced a huge growth in the services sector, compounding the islands' dependence on tourism and banking.
No direct tax coupled with its close proximity to the US, makes the Bahamas a key financial centre for corporate and personal investors. Professionals in the Bahamas work under a US framework and legal system. Having achieved independence from Britain on July 10, 1973, the Bahamas is now a fully, self-governing member of the Commonwealth as well as a member of the United Nations, the Caribbean Community and the Organization of American States.
Bahamian culture is expressed most colourfully in "Junkanoo" street celebrations, which feature rhythmic music, dance and elaborate costumes and masks.
