Established in Melbourne in 2012, AIMS Australia Tax Accountants is a CPA public practice whose work is concentrated on Australian tax matters that become more complex when clients live, work, invest or hold assets across jurisdictions. Rather than positioning itself as a high-volume tax return service, the firm focuses on matters where Australian tax residency, overseas income, treaty questions, Australian property, capital gains and the timing of international movements can interact.
Its specialist work includes Australian tax residency and residency-transition reviews, dual-residency and Double Tax Agreement analysis, foreign-resident Australian tax returns, Australian reporting of foreign income and foreign tax, the capital gains tax consequences of ceasing Australian residency, Australian property and foreign-resident CGT matters, as well as overdue lodgements and ATO review or dispute pathways where the underlying Australian tax position requires detailed reconstruction.
That focus reflects the reality of cross-border tax: the correct Australian outcome can depend on a chronology of facts rather than a single data point. Dates of departure and return, the location and source of income, ownership of assets, foreign tax paid, treaty residence and contemporaneous evidence can all be relevant to the treatment ultimately adopted.

The practice is led by Managing Partner Nika Widanage, FCPA, whose professional work centres on technically complex Australian cross-border tax matters. Her areas of focus include tax residency and residency transitions, foreign residents, foreign income, Australian property, capital gains tax and the interaction of Australian tax rules with internationally connected facts.
Widanage's technical profile extends beyond client engagements. In February 2026, Accountants Daily published her analysis of cross-border tax risk, examining issues including residency, evidentiary requirements, controlled foreign companies, foreign trusts, foreign-resident CGT and foreign income tax offsets. She was also profiled by Accounting Times in 2025 in connection with her focus on cross-border tax complexity and the development of AIMS Australia Tax Accountants as a specialist practice.

AIMS Australia Tax Accountants applies a structured, evidence-led process to complex engagements. Relevant facts, supporting records, assumptions and applicable Australian tax requirements are reviewed before a filing position is adopted, a tax return or capital gains schedule is prepared, or a submission is made. The firm also scopes complex work before commencement so that the issue being addressed, information required, exclusions and professional fee are clear. Senior oversight is applied according to the technical complexity and professional risk of the engagement.

International mobility has made Australian tax increasingly interconnected for individuals who move between countries, earn income offshore, retain Australian property, hold foreign investments or dispose of assets after a change in residency. AIMS Australia Tax Accountants continues to focus on these fact-intensive matters, where the Australian tax consequences can extend across residency, income, treaty, capital gains and compliance rules.
For the firm, the 2026 Quality Business Award represents recognition of the client-service standards supporting that specialist technical work - and another milestone in the development of a CPA public practice focused on complex Australian cross-border tax matters.
