What we handle
Everything between you and audit-ready books.
GST Compliance
Monthly returns, reconciliations and notices, handled end-to-end.
Audit & Assurance
Statutory, internal and tax audits conducted to Big Four standard.
Bookkeeping & Accounts
Real-time books so you always know where you stand — reconciled monthly, reviewed quarterly.
Company Registration

Financial Advisory
Cash flow, fundraising and budgeting guidance as you scale.
NRI Taxation
Cross-border tax filing and DTAA guidance for NRI clients.
The Meridian approach
Built to feel like an in-house finance team.
Most accounting firms scale by adding juniors between you and the work. We scale by staying small enough that a partner still knows your business by name.
01
Direct partner access
You work with a partner, not a rotating account team you re-explain your business to.
02
Real-time visibility
A live view of your filings, deadlines and documents — never "let me check and get back to you."
03
Fixed, transparent pricing
No hourly surprises. You know the annual cost before you sign anything.
04
Always audit-ready
Books maintained to a standard that survives due diligence and scrutiny, not just filing deadlines.

Meet the founder
CA Rhea Shah
Founder & Managing Partner, FCA
Rhea started Meridian & Co. after eight years at a Big Four firm, frustrated by how slowly large firms moved for small businesses that needed answers fast. Today she leads a boutique practice built around the same rigor, minus the layers — working directly with founders from their first GST registration through Series B due diligence.
"Good accounting shouldn't feel like a black box. If you can't understand your own numbers, we haven't done our job."Book Time With Rhea
Client stories
What working with us actually looks like.
"Switched to Meridian before our Series A. Due diligence went smoother than we ever expected — three years of clean books made all the difference."
Founder, SaaS startup
"First accountant who actually returns calls same-day. Filed three years of backlog GST in six weeks."
Owner, D2C brand
"Handles our NRI tax filing every year without a single follow-up needed from my side."

Common questions
Before you book a call.
Legally, not always — but the cost of a missed GST deadline or an incorrectly filed return is usually far higher than what a CA charges to prevent it. Most clients start with us right after registering their business.
For most engagements: PAN, incorporation documents, last year's returns (if any), and bank statements for the period in question. We send an exact checklist after the discovery call based on your specific case.
Yes — a large share of our clients are pre-seed to Series B startups. We're comfortable with cap tables, ESOP accounting and investor-ready reporting, not just standard SME bookkeeping.
Yes, end-to-end — registration, monthly/quarterly returns, reconciliation against your books, and representation if you receive a notice.
Yes — Indian income tax filing, DTAA claims, and guidance on repatriation rules for NRI clients across the US, UK, UAE and Singapore.
Fixed annual packages scoped to your business size and complexity — quoted after the discovery call, never billed hourly. No surprise invoices.
