About Us
Making financial software an asset, not an expense
Our Mission
At Messer, we help investment and operations professionals invest strategically in their own technology not by increasing spend, but by increasing quality and flexibility. We create a work paradigm where users spend 90% of their time making and executing decisions and only 10% time automating the rest, at 0% of the risk.
Our How
We provide state-of-the-art solutions for order management, portfolio management, and reconciliation systems that streamline workflow and understand localised risks such as restricted currencies, ID markets and QFII for investing and operation professionals from the buy-side, such as hedge funds, asset managers, family offices and private equity firms.
Our Story
Our Founder Bryan Messer started Messer because he saw the mismatch between the amount of investment made by financial professionals into technologies in the market and the amount of investment still required for their own technology.
Expensive systems are often augmented by spreadsheets and do not take into account local regulatory and operational risks outside of the US. In 2013, as a CTO of a large hedge fund in Hong Kong, Bryan identified this pain point and set out to help investment professionals invest proportionately in their own technology not by increasing spend, but by increasing quality and flexibility.
Our DNA
These three elements are in everything we do, and together, they make us simply better.
Craftsmanship
Built by seasoned developers and former users, rigorous data validation and instantaneous response is ensured. Our special data warehouse architecture records all changes in the system, making sure users have the complete version of history.
Simplicity
Our browser-based system has a search bar that takes you anywhere. The all-in-one-screen experience is designed to minimise your number of clicks and lets you drill down into details layer by layer in the same workflow.
Forward Looking
Being a cloud-native platform with a no-schema data warehouse model and micro-service architecture, we are the only provider to be truly adaptive to scale, new requirements and instruments.

Our Beliefs
Striving for Better
We started because we were dissatisfied with existing offerings and standards, so we subject ourselves to higher standards. That’s why we are continuously optimising our software.
Safety for All
From our software down to our contract terms, we design them with a key focus to mitigate your risks, be it financial, time or legal. We take different local operational and regulatory challenges into account from Day one.
Creating Room for Thought
Everything we do is aimed at removing unnecessary manual work, so you can focus your talents on strategic thinking.
Planning for the Future
We plan to work with our clients now and in the future. In the ever-changing financial world, we are fast to adopt the latest technologies and the newest financial instruments such as cryptocurrency.
Sustainability
The way we plan for the future carries in the way we treat our planets also. That’s why we minimise the use of plastics in our offices – bamboo cups only!
