  • We don’t charge by the hour
    With the unique AIMS system all fees are fixed and agreed in advance. You know what you’re paying. There are no surprises: no extra charges for letters, phone calls or anything else, unless you agree it first.

  • Quality is important to you
    All AIMS Accountants are qualified accountants and members of a professional institute. You know you will receive sound advice and a tailor made service that suits your needs. And you are protected — all AIMS Accountants carry a professional indemnity insurance policy.
  • Cost-effective fees and cash flow benefits
    Your cash flow will benefit because we will collect our fees by monthly Standing Order. In addition, because of our unique operating structure our efficient systems allow us to reduce our costs and these saving are passed on to you!

    You benefit from both the local accountant’s dedicated personal attention and the support and quality control of the head office and national organisation. Where else can you get this?
  • Straight & direct communication
    Every client is dealt with by their AIMS Accountant personally. You know who is dealing with you. We know you don’t like call centres; that’s why you are always able to contact your AIMS Accountant directly!

  • We enjoy talking to you
    We’re only a phone call away so you know whenever you need information we are available to help and we won’t even charge you for the call. We enjoy talking to you because we value our clients and recognise the importance of getting to know you better.

ABI arrangement

If an AIMS Accountant and a member of ABI agree to do business together the ABI member will have the option of either having the first month of their service free (subject to payment being made by standing order, the member will only pay for eleven out of twelve months of the first year’s annual fee) or 15% cashback after the first year (subject to a minimum fee of £500 and payment made by monthly standing order).

The AIMS Accountant will offer the ABI member the further benefits of one hour’s free-of-charge initial consultation and payment by standing order with the intention of giving the ABI member the cashflow benefit of not having to find a lump sum to settle annual accountancy fees.
