Meru is always willing to improve and ensure we get the result we are looking for.

Accuracy of Financial Records: The accuracy of financial records can be measured by comparing the reconciled balances in QuickBooks with bank and credit card statements. A low percentage of reconciliation discrepancies indicates a high level of accuracy in recording financial transactions.
Timeliness of Financial Reports: The project's success can be measured by the timely generation of financial reports. This can be quantified by tracking the number of days between the end of a reporting period (e.g., month, quarter, year) and the delivery of the corresponding financial reports. A shorter turnaround time indicates efficient bookkeeping processes.
Reduction in Errors and Discrepancies: Measure the number and severity of errors and discrepancies in the bookkeeping records over time. A decrease in the frequency and significance of errors demonstrates progress in maintaining clean and reliable financial data.
Financial Statement Analysis: Assess the ability to provide meaningful financial analysis and insights.

The quality and depth of financial analysis demonstrate the bookkeeper's ability to provide valuable insights for decision-making.
Compliance with Tax and Regulatory Requirements: Measure the accuracy and completeness of financial data related to tax and regulatory reporting. This can be assessed by evaluating the successful completion of tax filings, absence of penalties or fines, and compliance with applicable accounting standards and regulations.
Client Satisfaction: Gauge client satisfaction through regular feedback, surveys, or reviews. Client feedback can provide insights into the quality of service, responsiveness, and overall satisfaction with the bookkeeping services provided.

On 09/02/23, my company was billed $509.85 by Meru Accounting (Rushabah, Harnish, and Viana) for bookkeeping services that were never provided. Despite our company not receiving any books, Meru refused to refund the deposit. In response, I initiated a dispute with my bank over the unrendered services.
Regrettably, to this day, we have not received the refund. Meru's actions have resulted in a loss of $509.85 for our company, and it is imperative that they are held accountable for their fraudulent behavior. Additionally, numerous individuals have shared similar complaints about Meru on various platforms. I urge for the reimbursement of $509.85 owed to our company due to the absence of services rendered.

Meru Accounting was hired by a real estate investment company to provide bookkeeping services. Their work included creating profit-and-loss statement sheets and tracking account balances.
The client was highly disappointed with Meru Accounting, as they lacked professionalism and commitment to the agreed-upon fees. The team charged the client for work that was initially included in the contract fee. Moreover, they were unresponsive, making the client waste time.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Client from USA. I had an extremely disappointing experience. Lack of professional courtesy & commitment, not following through the pre-decided rates.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
The monthly rates for future months included catching up on past months. But after 20 days, they deny it, and instead charge me full monthly fee on backdated months. No bookkeeping company even in US charge like that for catching up on past months.
NO single point of contact with decision making
Tried setting up several meetings to resolve the issues. Later, they booked a meeting - still their senior decision making POC Rushabh didn't show up, and instead wasted time following up with other juniors. They agreed to provide me another quote for catch up months of 2023 in 2 days but then they instead stopped responding completely. Got a refund of $100 plus a wasted month in waiting.
