Accounting Aid Society

Mission Statement

Our Mission Accounting Aid Society provides tax assistance and other services to promote the economic self-sufficiency of low to middle-income families, seniors and others in need through programs, volunteerism, and partnerships. More than 20,000 families received income tax refunds and tax credits in 2014 with the help of nearly 608 trained Accounting Aid Society volunteers. Since 1976, Accounting Aid Society has returned more than $24.1 million to low and middle-income residents in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Livingston counties, and in turn into our state's economy. We partner with local, state and federal government to coordinate customized training for our volunteers. We then place our volunteers at more than 20 sites in metropolitan Detroit in locations including libraries, community centers, nonprofit and for-profit facilities. We also partner with corporations and other groups who train together and volunteer to "Adopt-A-Site."
