About Us

Our Philosophy

Most tax professionals focus on filing accurate returns.

But by the time tax season arrives, the most important tax decisions have already been made.

At Clues & Co. Tax Solutions®, we believe the best tax outcomes come from designing businesses that operate efficiently throughout the year.

That means:

  • Structuring the business correctly

  • Designing financial systems that support strategy

  • Making informed decisions before year-end

  • Turning tax planning into an ongoing process—not a once-a-year event

Our role isn’t just to prepare tax returns.

It’s to help business owners build smarter, more tax-efficient businesses.

Christina Messer’s journey into tax strategy began with a moment many know all too well—the shock of an unexpected tax bill. Determined never to face that surprise again, she dove into the world of tax planning, discovering proactive strategies typically reserved for corporations and the wealthy. Armed with this knowledge, she realized a gap in the industry: small business owners, especially female entrepreneurs, lacked accessible guidance to reduce their tax burdens and grow their wealth. 

Driven by her passion for helping entrepreneurs navigate their accounting journeys, Christina founded Clues & Co., a boutique tax and accounting firm with a detective-like approach. Just like a skilled investigator, she examines every detail of her clients’ finances, searching for overlooked opportunities and hidden savings. But unlike traditional accountants who only show up at tax time, Clues & Co. provides year-round support—listening, advising, and guiding clients every step of the way. 

With a focus on clear communication and white-glove service, Clues & Co. empowers growth-minded real estate investors and business owners to take control of their finances and unlock their full potential. Every client interaction is grounded in empathy, trust, and a commitment to proactive problem-solving. Whether it’s helping a female entrepreneur navigate her first years in business or assisting a real estate investor in maximizing their returns, Clues & Co. is more than a tax and accounting firm—it’s a trusted partner dedicated to solving financial puzzles and maximizing tax savings. And with every service provided, a portion of the fees is donated to women-focused nonprofits, creating a ripple effect of empowerment and opportunity.
