SG Malta

SG Malta is a small accounting and advisory firm in Fgura, a town in the south-east of the island close to the Grand Harbour. Established in 2007, it supports businesses operating in Malta and internationally with audit, accountancy, tax and a range of related financial services, and it can also help individuals and employers with work permits and residency.

Its approach is practical, reliable and personal. A team of nine professionals means clients deal with people who know their business and goals, rather than being passed between departments, and each client is treated as a partner and not as a number. Our directory of accountants in Malta lists other practices, and its sister listing of corporate services providers in Malta covers company administration.

Audit, accountancy and tax

Audit and assurance is a main service line, and the firm also covers accountancy, payroll outsourcing, tax and VAT. For a UK reader, think of the range as an audit firm, a bookkeeping and payroll bureau and a tax adviser under one roof. Audit services are provided by Mr Sandro Grech, who is authorised to act as an auditor by the Accountancy Board (Malta).

Payroll outsourcing suits owners who would rather not run salaries and employer filings in-house, while VAT services keep returns on time. Governance, risk and compliance support helps companies show that their controls and reporting meet the rules that apply to them. Our guide to Malta tax for UK nationals and our overview of how corporate tax works in Malta give background before you speak to an adviser.

Corporate services, funding and grants

Corporate services are provided by Mr Sandro Grech, who is authorised to act as a Company Service Provider by the Malta Financial Services Authority. Advisory work sits alongside, and the firm has a separate funding and grants service for businesses looking for support. Its articles cover topics such as how Micro Invest can support business growth and how to use EU funds for a small or medium-sized business.

Founders who are weighing up a Maltese company can combine these services with our financial services in Malta overview, and our iGaming in Malta guide is relevant because gaming is one of the industries SG Malta works in. The others include hospitality and leisure, real estate and construction, manufacturing, trading in consumer goods, transportation, professional bodies and charities, and medical and recreational marijuana.

Work permits and residency

Getting work permits and residency right can be complicated for employers recruiting from abroad and for individuals moving here. SG Malta handles work permit applications and renewals, residency and long-term stay permits, and assistance with employee relocation and compliance documents, so that employers and professionals can concentrate on their work.

If you are a UK citizen planning a move, our guide to relocating to Malta from the UK covers the overall picture and our guide to digital nomad residence in Malta is useful for remote workers. The firm has also published an article on exploring residency opportunities in Malta.

The team and the Fgura office

The leadership includes Sandro Grech as managing director, Natalie Grech as head of human resources, Daniel Grech as business consultant, Ina Vella as head of accounts, Pauline Grech as compliance officer and Mary Grace Grima as head of audit. Shirley Jones Bajada is senior accountant, and Naomi Vella and Rachel Calleja Frendo are senior auditors.
