It worked for them
I joined AIMS because the concept of running my own business and being able to contribute to and use the benefits of the group is brilliant."
John Haughton ACIS – Worcester
"After 15 years in industry I reached the stage where I needed a change. Working 9 to 5 and looking after two young boys (with school runs, sports lessons, play sessions and parties) became an increasingly difficult task. Joining AIMS gave me the opportunity to be more flexible. It's by no means an easy option - I work as hard now as I ever have - but I'm in control of my working hours.
I don't think I could have made the leap from an employee to a sole practitioner without the back up of AIMS. It's extremely important to me that I give my clients the best possible service. It's reassuring to me (and to them) to know that technical assistance is readily available from Head Office. I also chat things through with a couple of colleagues who live nearby, so we pool our experiences of Tax inspectors, best practices etc. It's a continual learning process - AIMS provide regular updates to ensure we keep on top of things - and that's part of the challenge."

“In the end, it came down to a very simple choice – did I want to continue making money for other people or did I want to make it for myself? Choosing then to become an AIMS Accountant was the obvious way to go – I get great backup and support, particularly on tax issues and marketing. I’m still part of a big group but can manage my client work in my own way – it comes down to a lifestyle choice. My clients come first and because of the backup I can call on, I am confident that the relationship I have with them, and the work they receive, is first class.”
Paul Turner ACA – Stourbridge
“I have always craved more independence in my work and starting my own business seemed the obvious answer. However I did not want to go it totally alone and found the ideal solution with AIMS.
“I have the drive and enthusiasm and AIMS provides me with a system, back up and support for technical issues as well as sales and marketing training.
“It is a great partnership and my practice is thriving.”
Steve Wilson ACMA – Harrogate
