Frequently asked questions
Common questions
How quickly can you start?
Most engagements begin within two weeks of a signed proposal. If you are mid-close or mid-raise we will tell you honestly whether starting immediately helps or hurts.
Do you replace our bookkeeper?
Usually not. We sit above day-to-day bookkeeping and often work alongside an existing bookkeeper or accounting team. Where the underlying records need rebuilding first, we will say so before you sign.
How is the fee set?
A fixed monthly fee based on the agreed scope, quoted in writing before any work begins. If the scope changes, we re-quote rather than send an unexpected invoice.
What size of company do you work with?
Typically $2m to $50m in revenue with 10 to 150 staff. Below that a good bookkeeper is usually the better answer, and we will tell you so.
Are you a licensed accounting firm?
Meridian provides advisory and management reporting services. We work alongside your CPA firm for audit, attest and tax filing rather than replacing them.
