About

My name is Alison Church

I am a chartered IFAC accountant, studied at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax then lived in Ireland for 6 years. I moved back home to Halifax in December 2023. 

I got my ACCA global accountancy qualifications in Dublin and worked in Grant Thornton and Allianz Darta as an Operational Risk Manager. 

I started Aire Tax and Business Solutions in November 2023. “Aire” means to take care in Irish, it represents my goal to take care to ensure a high quality of services provided to each of my clients and to accommodate and be flexible to each client’s needs.

Tribute to Marilyn Hicks

Marilyn Hicks is one of my main inspirations behind the setup of the business. She very sadly passed away in October 2023.

I previously worked with Marilyn for 4 or 5 tax seasons over the years and she was an amazing friend and mentor.

It was her faith in me that gave me the courage and confidence to start the business. I want to honour her in the work I do and aim to do my best and follow in her footsteps and provide the quality of services expected by her clients.
