Featured Case Study

How Stratford & Co unlocked $47M in trapped working capital.

By deploying Meridian's working capital diagnostic across 14 business units, the leadership team identified receivables bottlenecks, renegotiated supplier terms, and restructured inventory cadence — all without expanding headcount. The result: an 8.4 percentage-point improvement in cash conversion cycle within 11 months.

Leadership Insights

What executives say after twelve months with us.

We measure success by the quality of decisions our clients make — and the durability of the value those decisions create. Here is what partners tell us when we ask.

Meridian didn't just give us a dashboard — they reframed how our leadership team argues about the future. We retired three legacy planning tools in the first quarter and have not looked back.

Elena MarchettiChief Strategy Officer, Stratford & Co

The ROI optimization modeling alone justified the engagement. By month six we had already identified 14 process optimization levers we hadn't seen in five years of internal consulting projects.

Marcus WhitleyCOO, Apexon Industries

Stakeholder alignment used to take six weeks of cross-functional negotiation. Now it takes a single afternoon. That is the single biggest unlock we have experienced from any platform investment in a decade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from first-time clients.

If your question isn't covered below, our advisory team responds to every inbound enquiry within four business hours.

Most clients identify their first material insight within the first 30 days of deployment. Stakeholder alignment improvements typically register within the first quarter, while margin-uplift outcomes generally accrue between months six and twelve. Every engagement begins with a clearly defined 90-day success plan co-authored with your executive sponsor.

Traditional firms deliver a recommendation and leave. We deliver an operating capability. Our platform embeds directly into your planning cycle, governance rituals, and capital allocation workflow — so the value compounds quarter after quarter rather than dissipating when the engagement ends.

A typical deployment runs six to ten weeks and involves three sequenced workstreams: data integration, leadership onboarding, and workflow design. Our implementation leads have completed deployments at organizations ranging from 200-person growth-stage firms to 80,000-person multinationals.

We are SOC 2 Type II certified, ISO 27001 compliant, and GDPR/CCPA aligned. Data residency options are available across North America, the EU, and APAC. Enterprise clients in regulated industries (banking, healthcare, defense) operate under bespoke data-handling agreements reviewed by their general counsel.

Subscriptions are sized to organizational complexity — headcount bands, decision-maker seats, and module selection — rather than a flat per-user fee. Every proposal includes a written ROI projection. We will not present a number we are not willing to defend in a quarterly business review.

Yes — approximately 31% of our client base is PE-backed. We routinely support value creation plans, board-level reporting, exit readiness workstreams, and 100-day post-acquisition transformations. Several of the largest sponsors have made Meridian a preferred vendor across their portfolio.
