GCB Malta

GCB Malta Ltd is a small, independent accounting and audit assurance practice in Birkirkara, in central Malta. Since 2013 it has looked after the books, tax affairs and corporate paperwork of local and international businesses, including companies relocating to the island and those already trading here that want reliable ongoing support. It is listed in our directory of accountants in Malta.

A boutique firm led by its founders

The practice was co-founded by Gabriele Brincat, its Managing Partner, and Christine Brincat, a director. Gabriele is a Certified Public Accountant and Registered Auditor and a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. The wider team includes Tax Manager Jason Scicluna, an accountancy graduate of the University of Malta who has worked in tax since 1998; Client Accounts Manager Joslyn Seguna, an ACCA-qualified warrant holder; Compliance Officer John Galea, who holds an MBA from Heriot-Watt University; and a team of accountants, accounts associates and corporate administrators, some of whom studied at universities in Skopje and Manila before joining. One junior accountant holds the ACCA Diploma in Accounting fundamentals and an accounts associate is studying for the full ACCA qualification.

For audit work the firm is licensed by the Malta Financial Services Authority, the Accountancy Board and the Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit. It prides itself on meeting deadlines for clients and regulators alike and on keeping everyone involved informed, and it holds regular meetings with clients to understand how their business actually runs.

Accounting, payroll and tax

Day-to-day accounting covers bookkeeping, payroll management and in-house management reporting, so owners can follow their position through the year. Staff are experienced with Sage and familiar with Xero and QuickBooks, which helps if you already use one of these packages. Recent articles from the firm explain the 2026 payroll changes for Maltese employers and the case for outsourcing payroll.

On tax, GCB Malta advises companies and individuals, prepares tax returns, handles shareholder tax refunds and gives VAT advice, and its work also extends to stamp duty, customs and excise duty and double taxation relief. UK readers can find wider background in our guide to Malta tax for UK nationals and our explainer on Malta's corporate tax structure.

Company formation, audits and corporate advice

For new businesses the team sits down with founders to propose a suitable structure, prepares the Memorandum and Articles of Association, registers the company with the Malta Business Registry and arranges tax and VAT registration. Company secretary and directorship services are available through associated partners, and the office can serve as your registered address, with post copied to you by email or forwarded to an address you choose. Our UK guide to relocating to Malta covers the personal side of a move.

Audit services include statutory, contractual and internal audits, with compliance audits, performance audits and reviews of IT and reporting processes carried out with partner firms. Findings come with practical recommendations. The firm also runs members' voluntary liquidations from start to finish, including the final VAT and tax returns, and advises on succession planning, group restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, and growth strategy, from market research and business plans to applications for European grants.

A network of trusted partners

Where a client needs more than accounting, GCB Malta works with licensed partners including tax advisers, lawyers, insurance agents, banking providers, digital specialists and property consultants. Through reputable Maltese law firms it can support clients in aviation, shipping, investments and pensions, trademarks and patents, trusts and foundations, private equity, insurance and healthcare, and IT and telecoms. Our overview of financial services in Malta explains how these sectors fit together.
