Matthew Steiner
Founding Director & CEO
With over 20 years’ experience in financial services, Matthew founded Aetas Partners to bridge the advice gap for families and to bring together specialist expertise under one roof. His vision was to create a genuinely holistic, 360° approach to wealth and well-being that empowers clients to achieve their long-term goals through clear, expert guidance and tailored strategies.

Matthew began his career as a financial adviser before moving into asset management with a merchant bank, where he specialised in tax-advantaged investments including Venture Capital Trusts, Enterprise Investment Schemes, and inheritance tax planning solutions using Business Relief.

Before founding Aetas Partners, he served as a director of a specialist inheritance tax firm, leading the creation of an award-winning collaborative model that helped advisers deliver comprehensive estate and inheritance tax planning.

Collaboration remains at the heart of Matthew’s approach. Through Aetas Partners, he has built a network of trusted professionals who work alongside Aetas Wealth, it’s financial planning division, to deliver seamless, comprehensive solutions that align personal, family, and business objectives.

Outside of work, Matthew is an avid traveller with a strong connection to Asia. In 2007, he spent six months volunteering in Nepal, teaching English in a local orphanage and school—an experience that shaped his values and reinforced his commitment to giving back to communities.

Through Aetas Partners, Matthew continues to champion a new standard of financial advice—one that combines technical excellence with genuine care to create lasting, meaningful impact for clients and their families.
