Meet Claire
A self-proclaimed rebel, misfit, and legal rule-breaker, she founded Tinkler Professional Accounting Services to help entrepreneurs, creatives, individuals, and fellow outliers take control of their finances, build real wealth, and do business (or money) their way.
Her money-savvy roots run deep — balancing her bank account at 13 to save up for that must-have Nelly CD (essential), Claire always knew she wanted to make life work on her terms.
But her path wasn’t exactly linear. After starting college in Pre-Pharmacy and realizing chemistry was not the vibe, she took her dad’s advice — “You’d be a great CPA” — and ran with it. She spent years grinding through state jobs and public accounting, frustrated by the outdated, one-size-fits-all approach to finance.
In 2016, she got fired without warning — and it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to her. Her dad’s voice echoed: “Start your own firm. Shit on them.” So she did.
For years, Tinkler Professional Accounting Services simmered as a side hustle — until 2023, when Claire finally bet on herself. In under 12 months, she grew her firm from $20K to six figures and began helping clients do the same.
Claire Tinkler has never been your typical CPA.
Since then, she and her team have helped save clients millions in taxes — from overwhelmed to organized, from overpaying to building real wealth, from barely surviving to confidently thriving.
Claire works with individuals, business owners, creatives, service providers, solopreneurs, and stigmatized industries (like cannabis, psychedelics, adult, tattoo, artists, musicians and healing spaces) — anyone who wants to protect their money and build lasting freedom.
Whether it’s tax strategy, coaching, business planning, or just making finances make sense, she brings experience, honesty, and zero judgment to the table.
Fully tattooed, pierced, with a skateboard and motorcycle in the garage & a love for plant medicine, Claire is proof that success doesn’t have to look like a suit and tie. When she’s not deep in numbers, you’ll find her outside playing in nature, at the beach, hiking, boarding, or road-tripping with her husband Chase and their two rescue dogs.
Her dad saw her vision before she did. And every day, Claire honors that legacy — by helping others turn their mess into their mission and create true freedom on their terms.
If you’re a rebel, misfit, or rule-breaker ready to do business your way, Claire is your CPA.
Chase grew up in Zachary, Louisiana, where he graduated high school before diving straight into the workforce. His career began in the sheet metal and HVAC industry, where he worked his way up from a helper to an Operations Manager over the course of 20 years. This growth came from working with three different companies, each offering him unique experiences and challenges that shaped his career. One of the most impactful moments in his journey was having the privilege of learning directly from his dad, who served as both a mentor and a role model. Through his guidance and Chase’s experience in management, he’s developed critical and accurate decision-making skills that have been instrumental in his success.
Meet Chase
Looking ahead, Chase is excited about new opportunities to build innovative support systems that benefit not only his team but also the clients he works with.
Outside of work, he finds joy in exploring the outdoors. Whether it’s hiking in a National Park, a state park, or simply enjoying a walk along a greenway, he values the peace and inspiration nature provides. This passion for the outdoors has also influenced his interest in remote work, as it allows him to balance professional responsibilities with his love for exploration and adventure.

Claire made this the easiest tax season I have ever had! I started my first LLC and I had no idea how to navigate the tax prep. Her and her team are so knowlegable and were able to answer all of my questions with ease and had all the info to get the most out of my refund. I've already recommended her to numerous friends of mine who are small business owners.
