Accounting Aid Society

Accounting Aid Society touches over 22,000 lives annually, with an economic impact of $33.7 million on low and middle-income households. More than 250 volunteers donate over 9,300 hours to helping our clients build a foundation for economic independence. These dollars are diverted directly back to southeast Michigan communities, often paying for basic needs such as food, utilities, transportation, and rent. Accounting Aid Societys services are designed to advance sustainable and equitable growth in Detroit neighborhoods and surrounding communities, to assist in gaining economic self-sufficiency, enabling our clients to prosper and share in the economic fabric of the region.

The Accounting Aid Academy guides micro-entrepreneurs in historically underserved neighborhoods to achieve sustainability and growth in their financial operations. Trained staff provides education and technical services to small business owners on topics that are instrumental in their success, such as tax preparation, record keeping, tracking revenue and expenses, financial statements, accounting software, and other issues identified by clients and staff.
