About the firm
Built on judgement, not just compliance
Meridian Advisory was founded in 1998 by partners who left the Big Four to build a practice where business owners speak directly to a partner, every time. Today we look after more than 420 companies, from family-owned manufacturers in Shah Alam to venture-backed groups listed on the ACE Market.
Our promise is unglamorous and deliberate: accurate numbers, defensible positions and advice that holds up under scrutiny, all delivered when we say we will.
- Approved Company Auditor (MIA)
- ACCA & MICPA member practice
- Chartered Tax Institute of Malaysia (CTIM)
- Licensed Company Secretary (SSM)
- ISO 9001:2015 quality management
How we work
A disciplined engagement, start to finish
Every relationship follows the same structured path, so you always know what happens next and who is responsible for it.
- 01
Discovery
We review your accounts, structure and obligations, then agree the scope, fees and reporting cadence in writing before any work begins.
- 02
Diagnostic
A partner-led assessment surfaces tax exposure, control gaps and reporting risks, summarised in a plain-language findings memo.
- 03
Strategy
We set the engagement plan: deadlines mapped to LHDN and SSM dates, ownership assigned, and a single point of contact named.
- 04
Execution
Fieldwork, filings and management reporting are delivered on schedule, with quarterly partner reviews to keep decisions current.
- 05
Stewardship
Year on year, we benchmark performance, refresh the tax position and brief your board, so advice compounds instead of restarting.

Qualified opinions across our audit base
Case in focus · Logistics
Restructuring a family group for a cross-border merger
We reorganised a three-company logistics group under a single holding entity, cleaned up intercompany balances and produced a transfer pricing file that survived an LHDN review without a single adjustment, clearing the path for a regional acquirer.

Common questions
Before you reach out
Is Meridian Advisory licensed to sign statutory audits in Malaysia?
Yes. Our assurance practice operates under an Approved Company Auditor and is a member firm of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA). All audit opinions are partner-reviewed before issue.
How are your fees structured?
Retainers are fixed monthly so you can budget with certainty. Project work such as audits, valuations and due diligence is scoped and quoted before we start, with no surprise billing.
Can you take over from our current accountant mid-year?
We do this regularly. We handle the professional clearance, take over your records, and reconcile the year to date before our first reporting cycle, usually within four weeks.
Do you work with companies outside Kuala Lumpur?
Yes. We serve clients across Selangor, Penang, Johor and East Malaysia. Most engagements run on secure cloud accounting, with on-site partner visits scheduled where it adds value.
