Who we are
Sarah Chen, FCA.
Meridian Accounts is a one-person practice. That means when you call, you speak to the person who does your accounts — not a receptionist, not a junior, not someone reading your file for the first time.
I trained at a mid-size practice in London and spent three years working with technology companies before setting up on my own in 2011. Most of my clients have been with me for more than five years.
I work with small businesses, sole traders, and freelancers. I do not work with large companies. That is a deliberate choice — it means I have the time to do your accounts properly and actually understand your situation.
How much could you save?
Most small businesses overpay tax. Enter your figures below to see a rough estimate of what proper accountancy could save you annually. This is indicative — book a call to get an accurate number.
What clients say.
“Sarah has done my accounts for seven years. I used to dread the end of the tax year. Now I just send her what she asks for and it's done. I genuinely do not think about it.”
“Switched from a large practice two years ago. The difference is that Sarah actually knows my business. The first call I had with her she pointed out I was missing a claim I'd been ignoring for three years.”
“Started my business with Sarah's help from day one. She set everything up properly and I've never had a problem with HMRC. That peace of mind is worth every penny.”
