AIMS Accountants for Business provides accountancy and tax services to small, local and independent businesses through a network of more than 200 qualified accountants across the UK.

Each AIMS Accountant runs their own practice from home, supported by a central team that includes chartered accountants who act as mentors. AIMS says that in the last 12 months it welcomed 1,596 new clients and 15 new accountants.
Leaving corporate life for your own practice
AIMS recruits qualified accountants who want to take control of their careers. It provides a marketing system and lead generation to help win clients, ongoing technical support, and the core systems and tools needed to run a practice. A dedicated mentor visits every quarter in the first year and annually after that.
Training continues through weekly webinars on regulation, tax, accounting and marketing, and regular workshops at central office. AIMS also has existing practices that come up when accountants retire, offering a ready-made route into the network.
