Áine O’Reilly, Director at Baccata, has been named Trustee of the Year – Channel Islands & Isle of Man at the Citywealth IFC Awards 2026. The event celebrates excellence of advisers and managers in the private wealth sector in the major international finance centres.

Áine joined Baccata as a director in 2013 and she has extensive experience advising private clients on the structuring, preservation and succession of family wealth. Áine works closely with families and their advisers providing tailored trust and fiduciary solutions aligned with personal, family and long term objectives.

Commenting on the award, Áine said that it reflects the nature of trust work rather than individual achievement.

“Trustee work is built over time. It relies on strong relationships, good decision making and a team approach. This recognition reflects the clients and colleagues I work with every day.”

Stephen Whale,  Managing Director of Baccata, said the award reflected both individual expertise and the firm’s broader approach to client work.

“Áine’s recognition is well deserved. She brings strong technical judgement alongside a genuine commitment to clients and their families. This award reflects the quality of her work and the importance we place on long term client relationships across the firm.”

Baccata is an independent, owner managed firm providing trust and fiduciary services to private clients, families and family offices.
