About Us

St Matthew is an accountancy and business advisory firm based in Central London. Our clients are international entrepreneurs with business interests in the UK and Ireland.

We employ a one stop shop approach and offer our clients all services required to set up and manage a business. This includes services such as company formations (onshore and offshore), virtual office services, bookkeeping & accounting, and tax advice.

Set up in early 2006 the company is continuing to experience strong growth to the present day. We have hundreds of clients across the globe with a concentration of clients in Germany/Austria/Switzerland, France, Italy, and the US. Among our staff there are dedicated teams of native speakers for those key markets. This allows clients to speak to consultants with the same cultural background, in their native language.

St Matthew employs 35 people in five countries with the majority of them being based in our London offices.

What's in a Name?

Many people ask us about the name of our company and why it's called St Matthew. Here is the story: When establishing our brand we were looking for something that sounds distinctively London to our international client base (and we did not want to have an artificial name). London is an old city, and even with all its vibe also quite an old-fashioned city. Hence we wanted a nice, old fashioned name. If you have been to London you will notice that there are many businesses that have names, which are preceeded with the word "Saint", such as:

• St John's Restaurant
• St James Homes Ltd
• St Giles Insurance & Finance Services

Why is this? Well, there are many street names and places in London named after saints (pointing back at the time before the reformation). Eventually, companies have named themselves after these places, in most cases to indicate proximity to a certain street, landmark or area.

In the end we decided to call the firm St Matthew. We have chosen this saint because he is the patron saint of the accountants and tax collectors. Fits pretty well, doesn't it?

Welcome to Miami

In 2008 we set up a presence in the US - in Miami, to be specific. With the US business our focus is to serve US entrepreneurs who are looking to expand their business to Europe.

We always had clients from the US and we believe that this move will further strengthen our US client base.

There are almost 30 million small businesses in the US. In the last 10 years many SME's went on selling their products and services overseas. The internet and falling trade barriers made it so much easier for them. Therefore we are confident that there is a demand for our services and that this is the right time to go ahead.
