About
Built on results,
not reputation
Meridian Advisory was founded in Orlando in 2003 with a simple thesis: management consulting should be measured by client outcomes, not consultant hours. Two decades later, that principle still drives everything we do.
We are intentionally mid-sized — 85 professionals across four offices. Large enough to tackle complex, multi-workstream engagements. Small enough that every client works directly with a partner.
Our clients return because we deliver. Our 94% retention rate isn't a marketing claim — it's a reflection of what happens when consultants are accountable for results, not just recommendations.
Evidence Over Opinion
Every recommendation is grounded in data, analysis, and rigorous testing. We don't guess — we prove.
Outcomes, Not Outputs
We measure success by the results our clients achieve, not the reports we deliver.
Embedded Partnership
We work alongside your teams, not from a distance. Change happens through collaboration.
Honest Counsel
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Trust requires candor.
