Meridian Landing

Tax counsel for founders & funds — est. 2014

The art of the
unsolved return.

A senior-led tax firm for operators whose returns no longer fit on a 1040. We compose strategy, filings, and equity decisions into one quiet, year-round engagement.

PARALLEL
— 02 / Practice

A complete tax studio, not a once-a-year vendor.

We work with a small roster of founders, operators, and investment partnerships. Every engagement is led by a partner with at least fifteen years of tenure.

— 01
α

Strategic Tax Planning

Forward-looking models that map every dollar across entity, jurisdiction, and time horizon — built for founders who outgrew their CPA.

— 02
β

Federal & State Filings

Returns prepared by senior practitioners, reviewed twice, and signed by a partner. No junior-staff handoffs, no surprises in April.

— 03
γ

R&D Credits & Incentives

We surface the §174, §41, and state-level incentives most firms miss. On average our clients recover 4.2× our annual fee.

— 04
δ

Equity & RSU Strategy

QSBS, 83(b), AMT exposure, secondary sales — modeled before you sign, not after the wire clears.

— 05
ε

Multi-State & International

Nexus analysis, transfer pricing, treaty benefits. Our team has filed in all fifty states and forty-three countries.

— 06
ζ

Year-Round Advisory

A dedicated principal on Slack, monthly reviews, and a quarterly forecast. Tax season becomes a non-event.

— 03 / Engagement

Four steps from scattered to solved.

Most firms hand you a portal and a checklist. We hand you a partner.

— Step 01

Introduction

A thirty-minute call with a partner. Bring your last return, your cap table, and questions.

— Step 02

Diagnostic

Two-week review of three years of filings. We surface what was missed and what’s recoverable.

— Step 03

Plan

A written strategy, modeled to a five-year horizon, with election deadlines and trigger events on the calendar.

— Step 04

Stewardship

Quarterly forecasts, year-round access, and filings that arrive before the deadline. Always.

— 04 / Voices

Quietly held in high regard.

We don’t advertise. The work is referred, partner to founder, fund to founder.

They found a §1202 position my last firm dismissed in twenty seconds. It saved me four million on exit and twelve nights of sleep before it.

Founder, Halcyon Robotics
The first firm I’ve worked with where I don’t dread the email. Calm, exact, and ahead of every deadline I used to chase.

— 06 / Questions

Asked often.

A few of the things prospective clients ask before their first call.

— Q.01
How is your firm different from a traditional CPA?
Traditional CPAs are organized around filing returns. We are organized around tax outcomes — modeling decisions before they happen, with filings as the natural output. Every engagement is led by a partner with deep tenure.
— Q.02
Do you work with clients outside the United States?
Yes. About a third of our roster has international exposure. We file in forty-three countries through our network and lead the U.S. side directly.
+
— Q.03
What does a typical onboarding look like?
Two weeks. Week one is a diagnostic. Week two is a written plan with election deadlines and trigger events on a shared calendar.
+
— Q.04
Is there a minimum engagement size?
Our Founder tier starts at $4,800 annually. Below that, we are not the right fit. Above that, we do not have a ceiling.
+
— Q.05
How quickly can you start?
If you sign in October or November, we can take you for the current tax year. We close the roster on February 1 and reopen in May.
+
— Q.06
Who actually does the work on my return?
A partner reviews and signs every return. Senior associates draft, partners review, a second partner signs.

The unsolved
return becomes solved.
