Services
Everything a growing business asks of its accountants.
Six disciplines, one team, one fixed monthly fee. Start with what you need and add as you grow.
Tax planning & filing
Corporation tax, personal tax and everything in between, planned ahead and filed early.
Advisory & board reporting
Management accounts and board packs that tell you what to do next, not just what happened.
Cloud bookkeeping (Xero & QuickBooks)
Clean, current books, reconciled every week without fail.
Payroll & VAT
Payslips out on time, every time, and VAT returns filed with room to spare.
R&D tax claims
Robust claims with technical narratives that stand up to HMRC scrutiny.
Exit & succession planning
Sale-ready accounts and tax-efficient structures for the day you move on.
Pricing
Fixed fees. No surprises. Ever.
One monthly fee, agreed before any work starts. If your needs change, the fee changes first and you approve it.

Advisory
A partner, not a filing service.
Most accountants tell you what happened last year. We would rather talk about the year ahead. Every client has a named partner who knows the numbers before you call.
- Quarterly reviews, booked in advance and led by your partner
- Every deadline tracked and chased for you, never the other way round
- The phone answered by your actual accountant, not a call centre
“Meridian found us £40k in R&D relief our old accountant never mentioned. They pay for themselves.”
