Beginning in college, Weber worked for a neighborhood CPA in Orange County, CA helping business owners and individuals with their annual tax returns and accounting questions. As he realized that his career aspirations would be better served by broadening his horizons, Matthias moved on to Deloitte, where he spent 7 years serving some of the world’s most renowned brands as a Senior Manager within their tax group. During this time, he also worked to complete his Masters in Business Tax at USC.
Being recognized for his work, Matthias was selected to develop Deloitte’s India Talent initiative; executing a rigorous live training course for hundreds of professionals in their Indian operation over several weeks. Matthias also earned the award of #1 Senior Associate in Deloitte Tax in the Pacific Southwest, being selected by his peers for his outstanding contribution.
Following his time at Deloitte, Matthias went on to join Haskel and White, a regional firm in California, as a Senior Manager and quickly rose to rank of Principal.
In 2016, Matthias and his colleague Ben Heinrichs, saw an opportunity in the market for an innovative, forward-thinking accounting and advisory firm and together established what is now WCH LLP. Having begun with just a handful of clients, their team has expanded to serve over 1400 companies across a wide range of industries and has offices in San Francisco, Walnut Creek, and Newport Beach.
As a leader, Matthias is most driven to listen to the needs of his clients and works diligently to help them maximize their earnings, develop and execute a plan for growth, and drive long term success financially and personally.

While there he focused his efforts on delivering the very best service to his clients while also learning different management styles, gleaning the positive and the negative from every interaction.
He was recognized by H&W regularly, earning the Performance Award in Efficiency, 2 years in a row. It was there that Philip met Matthias and Ben, earning himself an invitation to join them in their venture at WCH.
