Accounting Aid Society provides free income tax preparation services for low and middle income households in southeast Michigan. Each year, millions of dollars in tax refunds are unclaimed by those who need them the most.

Accounting Aid Society helps struggling families prepare taxes and recover millions in refunds and credits annually. In this way, they help families stay in their homes, keep their utilities turned on, put food on the table, and save for the future.

In 2014, Walsh College established a formal partnership with the Accounting Aid Society.

Under this partnership, Walsh College’s Accounting & Taxation Student Organization provides students with training, so they may offer their accounting and business expertise at various non-profits throughout the region. The Accounting Aid Society is one example of this program, where students volunteer to provide free income tax preparation services for low and middle income households in southeast Michigan.
