The word tax comes from the Latin word ‘taxo’, which means 'to estimate'. You don’t have to speak Latin, however, to know that precise tax estimates are vital for any business. Without them, organisations would find it impossible to make financial plans, and also run the risk of not complying with governing laws and regulations. That’s where AIMS accountants come in. Having been providing solid tax advice to companies across a range of sectors for over 30 years, we have the expertise to make sure your taxes are properly taken care of.
