GS Accountants was established in 2007 by Alun Griffiths and Petula Skinner who wanted to help satisfy the accounting and administrative needs of small to medium local businesses using their combined expertise. The GS Group included a number of subsidiaries, providing corporate services to local Jersey clients. The businesses were split into GS Accountants and Forward Group in 2017 after Forward Group received all the required licenses for the conduct of Trust and Company work.
