I have been a personal tax client of AAB for a number of years and in that time they have guided me through the tax return process and provided me with specialist advice relating to my non-resident tax position.

It is obvious that all members work well as a team, they are passionate and really enjoy their work. The advice I have received has been holistic, sound and proactive in nature, and the technicalities are explained clearly.
