Find your local AIMS accountant

James Thompson ACMA

From his office in Brunswick Square, AIMS Accountant James assists clients throughout Birmingham with all tax, accountancy and business advisory services.

About Me

I am a fully qualified accountant with over 15 years of experience from working in large utility companies in the energy sector to running a startup e-commerce venture, so I fully understand the need to have efficient finance processes that provide insights to help your business thrive as well as ensuring VAT, company tax and account filing compliance.

I work proactively with businesses from solopreneurs and freelancers up to medium sized businesses working with you to understand your needs to deliver the right accounting, finance, and tax services to help realise your business goals and aspirations in a way you fully understand.

I can help you prepare tax returns/year-end accounts alongside helping to educate you through how to manage your business finances in an easy-to-understand manner.

I can also provide a full Virtual Finance Director service which includes setting up business plans and budgets, forecasting cash flow and creating regular management reports to ensure you understand how your business is doing and what you need to do to take it to where you want. You may think an FD role is something for larger businesses, but I can offer this on a virtual part time basis making it work for smaller businesses to give you access to the skills and knowledge to make the world of finances understandable.

I’m passionate about helping and supporting small and medium-sized businesses in the Birmingham area and would love to learn about your business so please get in touch for a free no-obligation discussion so we can talk about what you need and how I can help.

Testimonials

Proof in Practice

I wish there were some more stars!!! 5 star is not enough for James’s service at Aims. A very hard working soul. He made us feel relaxed when we were finding it hard to make critical financial decisions by collecting, tracking, and correcting the company's finances. He had done it all for us. He took the total responsibility for our financial audits, reconciling bank statements, and ensuring financial records are accurate throughout the year. Wish him a very successful life ahead.

Shammi Akhtar

Great experience always with these guys, always on call to answer any questions and it’s never any trouble to explain anything in detail.

Gary Fryer

James took the time to understand my situation and provided excellent support throughout. Really impressed with the service I've received and would highly recommend him.

Matt Stait

Superb service. I have used a few accountants and James at Aims is by far the best one i have ever used. he is polite, helpful, personable, and so good at his job, most efficient accountant i have dealt with, and wont be using anyone else.

Clare Morrall

Imagine hiring someone to do all of the horrible jobs and legal financial compliance rubbish. Now imagine only paying them 1 days wage a month, but getting the entire service for 12 months of the year, all of the time. Running the business is up to me, and sorting the finances is effortless - It's done for me. The best company decision I've made was getting an AIMS accountant. The amount of money I've saved by having it done properly - Priceless!

Graham Harvey

James is reliable and very helpful, nothing is too much. I would definitely recommend his services . Accountancy can be very stressful but James navigates you through smoothly and keeps you compliant so you have one last thing to worry about.

Jemma Mortlock

I am very pleased to have joined AIMS. James made it easy and you have no idea how much weight he lifted off my shoulders today, that I don’t have to deal with the numbers, but also it comes with valuable advice and guidance, they literally hold your hand! It’s reassuring knowing I have someone professional and competent like him. He provided lots of advice and I have confidence in him. Therefore, I will be recommending Aims to other business owners that I know.
