Testimonials

Proof in Practice

On my very first meeting with Karen after a very helpful telephone conversation, she explained how she and the Company of AIMS carried out their Business, I felt very confident and happy with Karen, she sorted out our tax problems and the service she gave was excellent and very professional, so much so that I have asked her and AIMS to do our self assessment tax returns in the future, and are very satisfied with the excellent service.

Thelma

Really don't like doing taxes, but with help Karen Roddam from AIMS it was absolutely painless and really quick. Probably the most efficient accountants I have ever worked with. 10/10, service!

Egidijus Jancaitis

We have been working with AIMS for several years and have consistently been impressed with the standard of service received. Both partners we have worked with have always been very helpful particularly with any 'outside of the norm' questions we have. We have also appreciated the flexibility of office or home visits. Such a friendly approach which makes you feel you are an individual rather than just a client.

Steve and Debbie

I've been using AIMS Accountants since 2005 and have been extremely happy with their service. I pay a set fee which includes: monthly management accounts, annual business and personal accounts, as well as ad hoc advice. Ideal for small business - I thoroughly recommend them.

Jane Fairhall

I've used AIMS Accountants since 2007 for business accounts and then personal tax affairs, with two of their staff. The first retired after several years of excellent service and for the past 3 or 4 years I've been working with Karen who has continued to give brilliant service. Highly recommended for small business and personal tax.

This year for the first time I looked for an accountant to help with my tax returns. I had many questions and Karen was super helpful in explaining the system and proccesses. She was always responsive to my individual situation and needs; I would recommend her to anyone looking for an accountant.

Have only been with Karen a few months and I can only speak highly of Karen and her services. She has given me so much advice and sorted many things out for me over the past few months.

I required a local accountant after being with a larger one for years. My Tax return was completed efficiently by Karen and she was easy to get hold of when I needed information. I found Karen very knowledgeable and helpful when I had some queries regarding my Tax affairs

I have been using Karen Roddam of AIMS to look after both my business accounts and my private Tax Returns for many years. Karen keeps me fully informed of the tax liabilities on both business and personal accounts and ensures all paperwork is returned to HMRC and Companies House on time. I am very satisfied with the service provided by both Karen and AIMS

Adrian Graves - D3 Holdings Ltd

Karen has helped to extract me from a previous accountant, sort out all the bits that had got a bit flakey and set me up for the future. Throughout this she has been efficient, friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Top Marks!

Peter Winnall

I am self-employed. Karen has prepared my annual tax return for the past three years as my previous accountant never returned my calls and took months to prepare my tax return. In contrast, Karen works in a timely manner, completing my return within one to two weeks, and competently. I can call or email with any questions I have which she addresses clearly and promptly. Karen is always pleasant

Jane Earland

I am very pleased to have found Karen; she knows what she is doing and it is a weight off my shoulders to have someone so competent managing my tax affairs properly for me.
