Why Messina & Associates?

Our Philosophy

At Messina & Associates, we truly understand what counts. We don’t sell mutual funds, stocks or other investments. We focus only on providing timely, professional accounting and tax services. Long-term relationships built on trust are the foundation of our business. We understand that those relationships are earned through integrity, professionalism and accessibility.

Our Dedication

Our dedication to client service is unparalleled. We believe in being available and accessible to our clients. In fact, our Managing Principal, Pete Messina, is an Airline Transport Rated Multi-Engine pilot who pilots our firm’s twin-engine Piper Aztec. This allows us to serve clients all over the country from our offices in West Chicago, IL and Savannah, GA.

Our Team

We work in an environment that encourages individual respect combined with collaborative team work. Because we don’t have the bureaucratic constraints of larger accounting firms, we can work together to provide you with innovative solutions to your financial and tax concerns.

Our Skills

Continuing professional education is required for all CPAs. But at Messina & Associates, the minimum requirement is just a starting point. We spend more hours developing our skills because we believe our clients deserve the most up to date strategies available.

Our Integrity

Messina & Associates participates in the AICPA Peer Review Program. We have voluntarily done so since the early 1990s. A Peer Review requires an analysis of our work product and related quality controls every 3 years. This analysis is performed by an independent CPA firm approved to conduct Peer Reviews. We are pleased to have passed our most recent Peer Review with no deficiencies.

At Messina & Associates we truly understand what counts.
