The Enthusiasm Factor
Our team members like coming to work. There is a degree of buzz about the Matthews Steer office that would be unusual in advertising, let alone accountancy.
Our team members have confidence in structured career paths. We encourage and fund their further education. They’re involved in our own business management. They play significant roles in our communities. Their reviews are conducted by their peers. And parking is a breeze. They love the concept of working in a highly regarded suburban practice with a big city outlook.
What does this mean to you?
- Most accountancy practices suffer staff turnover of around 25% p.a. Whole offices can change in four to five years. At Matthews Steer, resignation is almost unheard of.
- Teamwork is everything. Given that there are at least four people working on every full service account, strong interpersonal relationships are valuable.
- All senior team members occupy management roles that are rotated. This builds an appreciation of how businesses work in the ‘real’ world. Everything about Matthews Steer is best practice. The people involved in your affairs understand business.
- You are working with bright, happy, motivated and interested people. Not the accountant you expect.
- Your satisfaction and success is the key to our team members' contentment and professional development.
Convenience and Timeliness:
Clients appreciate our North West location. It’s close. It’s easy to park. And it makes our brand of ‘field accountancy’ practical. It is rarely a drama to come to you.
You do not need to harass for attention to compliance. Each year we set a firm date for your compliance appointment and if for any reason that’s changed, you will receive at least two weeks notice.
Having been established 20 years, Matthews Steer has a stable of friends who are expert in their professional niches. If there is a specific problem we can find an answer quickly.
Our clients become friends, and we don’t let friends down.
Cost:
The time of a Matthews Steer partner will cost around half that levied by a CBD firm, with no fall in quality, and focused attention. We do not run to furniture out of Belle or racks of leather-bound tomes and we are not on the top floor of a prestige CBD building so you do not have to pay for these professional luxuries. The lack of original art on our walls is a sacrifice that clients seem prepared to make.
Flexibility:
Many of our clients have on-staff bookkeepers or accountants. They use Matthews Steer as a check and balance, an external point of view, a problem solver and innovator. If you are not already there, we will identify a point in your business development at which it will make sense to go this route, employing our time where it most seriously counts.
Foresight:
Matthews Steer is in the business of success. Yours is ours. During 20 years, we have had countless small clients that have grown into big ones. We have no hesitation in embracing small North Western businesses with open minds and the will to excel.
The Stories in Numbers:
At Matthews Steer numbers are a code, not the message. Every set of numbers has an underlying story and we relish the read and the telling.

They handle all my personal planning now as well and I wish I had taken their advice from the start because 
I would now be around $600,000 richer.
