Who We Are

Messner & Fox, LLC, originally M & J Tax Service, was founded in 1978 by Melvin Messner, with his son, Garry, joining in the early 1980s. Now operated by Garry’s wife and children, Cheryl Messner, Roxanne Fox, and Brad Messner, Messner & Fox is one of the few third-generation firms in the region and one of very few third-generation firms nationwide. The unique background of the owners includes government and public service, education, and technology.  This background guides the entire Messner & Fox Team in providing vital client service coupled with decades of tax and education expertise.

Our team of tax, support, and administrative professionals works with clients hand-in-hand to clarify the tax code, leverage powerful and unique tax reduction strategies, and consult on complicated matters such as employment changes, retirement planning, and business creation and growth. We are a full-service firm working with clients on their needs, including financial planning, college affordability, partnering with financial advisors, and more.

Brad Messner, one of the owners, is a nationally sought-after speaker on income tax and data security, being invited to speak at dozens of events and conferences a year, helping improve the quality of tax education nationwide.  He was also recently voted the Tax Professional of the Year by the National Association of Tax Professionals.
