  • Great pricing, friendly staff, easy to talk to, and very professional.
  • Easy to work with, responsive, thorough with their approach.
  • They are always willing to make improvements and the value is present.
  • Very easy to work with. Communications very good.

Cons:

  • No negatives to share at this time. They do a good job.
  • Continue being more proactive in knowing and helping us to meet local, state, and Federal tax filing deadlines.

Pros:
What I liked most about Meru Accounting was their exceptional attention to detail and proactive communication. The ease of interaction and their dedication to understanding our specific needs made the entire collaboration seamless and highly effective. Their use of advanced accounting tools and software optimized our financial processes, saving us both time and resources. This level of efficiency and their consistent delivery of accurate financial reports make me inclined to choose their services again.
Cons:
While the overall experience with Meru Accounting was very positive, one area for improvement could be in offering more tailored advice for business strategy and growth. While their financial insights were valuable, providing more in-depth, personalized guidance based on our specific industry trends and business forecasts could enhance the strategic aspect of their service. This additional layer of customized strategic advice could help in achieving even more effective financial management and long-term business planning.

Overall Experience: I have worked with several accounting / bookkeeping firms in the past. But had not found a firm yet that really understood US accounting and bookkeeping rules like Meru Accounting. This was the first time that we completed our annual financial reporting and tax return process in record time with minimal changes / edits needed along the process. Highly recommend this accounting agency.
