About Us

Gilberts Chartered Accountants & Business Advisers...

are a medium-sized firm providing a complete range of audit, accounting, taxation and business management services. We work with both new and established companies from the Home Counties and Greater London to help them achieve their business goals.

Our origins date back to 1921...

when W J Gilbert first opened an office in Fore Street, London, with the firm known as W J Gilberts & Co. The first trainee accountant the firm took on was Ivor Wilkins who went on to win the Gold Medal at the Institute's examination before becoming W J Gilberts & Co’s second partner.

A second office was opened in St Albans in 1927...

and by the 1950s, the firm also had an office in Luton. In 1968 the partners of the London office left the practice, and the remaining offices were renamed Gilbert & Co. The St Albans office moved in 1968 from High Street to Alma Road and, with the expansion of the practice, to Upper Marlborough Road in 1974. The modernisation of the Hertfordshire area with improved infrastructure resulted in the Luton office moving to St Albans. In the mid-eighties, the practice changed its name to Gilberts, and in January 1990, moved to the firm’s current purpose-built offices.
