About Alasdair Milroy
Virtual CFO and Chartered Accountant for Yacht Owners, Managers and Captains
As a Chartered Accountant, Alasdair Milroy has spent many years working closely with individuals and businesses helping them with all things financial. Up to this very day, he is a member of the Institute in Australia New Zealand, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, and STEP. You could say he is a truly global accountant.
In addition to this, he has also worked in financial services within the UK and Guernsey for over 20 years gaining valuable industry experience at board level; his most recent position being Chief Executive Officer focused on the Superyacht services both in Guernsey and Malta.
As well as having a strong financial background, Alasdair also has a longstanding love of the industry. His father was a merchant seaman and Captain in the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA); Alasdair was christened on the Sir Tristram RFA, and he spent many years of his childhood visiting ferries, container ships and bulk carriers.
Alasdair’s life has always had a connection to merchant mariners and the challenges of life at sea, so when he combined this with his training as a Chartered Accountant and his industry experience in financial services, it’s no real surprise that he went on to launch his own accounting practice. One that he could provide a more specialist and personal service.
Introducing Breaking the Mould Accounting Limited. Providing modern digital accounting services focused on using a technology stack based around Xero or other Cloud Accounting software, the firm primarily works in the maritime sector with yacht management, captains, owners, and family offices.
As a Superyacht Accountant and with his own firm, Alasdair has developed a high level of trust amongst clients and industry professionals within the maritime industry.
