What I do

Bookkeeping, advice, and the jobs you’ve been avoiding.

Standard bookkeeping

Bank and credit-card accounts reconciled every month, with a profit-and-loss and balance sheet your tax professional can use directly. Your books, correct and current.

Business advice

Practical guidance from someone who’s watched a lot of small businesses run — what your numbers are actually telling you, and what to do next.

Projects, handled

The one-off jobs that pile up — cleanups, catch-ups, the thing you keep putting off. Handled professionally and quickly. I get stuff done.

How it works

Three steps. No paper chase.

Send it securely

Drop your statements into your private portal — no email attachments, no paper shuffling, no wondering if it arrived.

I keep it correct

I reconcile every account and keep your books accurate, month after month, so nothing slips.

Your tax pro gets clean numbers

A clear P&L and balance sheet, ready at tax time. No year-end scramble, no shoebox of receipts.

A modern way to work together

Your own secure portal.

No more emailing sensitive statements around. Send documents, see exactly what I need, and pay — all in one private, encrypted place.

Send documents securely— bank & credit-card statements, encrypted in transit and at rest.
Always know what’s needed — a simple checklist that keeps itself up to date.
Pay online in two clicks — one-time or automatic monthly, powered by Stripe.

About

Hi, I’m Claire.

I spent eighteen years inside accounting firms before I started Meridian — long enough to know exactly how a small business’s books should be kept. I opened my own practice here in the Bay Area to do it on my own terms.

Most of my clients come by referral — owners who’d been burned by sloppy books and wanted someone who treats their numbers like their own. They trust me to keep their books correct, and I take that seriously.

I’m straightforward, I’m fast, and I get things done. If that’s the kind of bookkeeper you’ve been looking for, let’s talk.
