The story behind aventae, the new name for ajftaxation
In the beginning, over 20 years ago, aventae was called ajftaxation. Perfectly suited to owner, Amanda Fisher and the roots of the business at that time with her tax consultancy work and lecturing to many accountancy and tax professionals across the country.
Fast forward to more recent years and the business has evolved and flourished with the inclusion of Emma as a strength to the compliance and accountancy side of the firm. Other team members are now with us and have enabled the expansion and growth of our fabulous accountancy firm.
Amanda is still integral to the firm and drives the proactivity of tax planning and growth for our own business and for those who we collaborate with.

The meaning behind our name: aventae – where did it come from?

The name draws powerful elements such as these:
- ‘Avēnter’ in Latin translates to eagerly and earnestly
- avenir is French for ‘future’
- advenire is Latin for ‘to arrive’
- ‘Avent’ evokes words like adventure, event and avenue, that speak to progress, discovery and direction
- The suffix ‘ae’ is a Latin plural and represents community and shared experience.
