How can we help?

Our specialist R&D team is made up of qualified accountants and tax experts who, quite uniquely, have a wealth of industry experience, many of them with additional scientific and engineering qualifications. This makes them well placed to be able to review the technical elements of your business with R&D in mind.



All it takes is a simple 10-minute conversation to gather basic information to assess whether there may be qualifying expenditure. If you are already claiming R&D, it is worth getting in touch as the team can help maximise and increase the robustness of your claim.



Our R&D investigative process is fully auditable and includes the submission of a technical report to support the claim and ensure full compliance with legislation. We will also liaise with HMRC on your behalf to deal with any queries and to secure the acceptance of a claim.

The time is now!

R&D claims can be made for the previous two accounting years which are then offset against your profits, potentially leading to a significant repayment in corporation tax. Even if your company is not making a profit, you can still benefit by choosing to sell the loss to HMRC and receive cash back instead.



Timing is critical – you don’t want to be in a situation where you have missed out on a claim because of any time limits. Our R&D team is able to act quickly, so if you think there may be something worth looking into, please get in touch with us on 0121 693 5000
