Our Story

Offshore Accountants – your financial partner in the maritime sector.

At Offshore Accountants, we understand that working in the maritime sector requires more than standard accounting. You operate between countries, flag states and tax systems — a world where legal precision, tax knowledge and international compliance are indispensable.

We combine years of experience in the shipping, offshore and energy industry with in-depth knowledge of international tax treaties, the seafarers' regime, and the provisions of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006).

Our team audits and manages everything that affects your enterprise:

  • Accounting and tax returns according to maritime and international standards
  • Application of tax treaties and the 183-day rule
  • Review of charter contracts, management agreements and SEAs
  • Payroll services for crews under various flag states
  • ILO and MLC compliance for wage structures, allowances and rest periods

We work transparently, with fixed rates and clear reporting, so you always know where you stand. And because the maritime sector never sleeps, we are available 24/7 — wherever in the world you work or sail.

Our mission is clear:
To ensure that self-employed individuals and companies in the offshore and maritime sector can continue to operate in a fiscally efficient, legally correct and internationally compliant manner.
