R&D tax consulting: your experts on demand.
Your innovation is unique, and so are your business needs. A one-size-fits-all approach to R&D tax consultancy never works, so we tailor our advice to where you are in the process.
We deliver market-leading technical tax advice in plain English: practical, actionable outcomes, not legal jargon.
Tailored advice, wherever you are in the process.
Full R&D claim review
From end-to-end analysis of your preparation process to appraising specific elements such as project identification. Tailored to your objectives, whether that’s maximising value, aligning with your wider tax strategy, or managing risk.
Building your compliance systems
Project-level cost tracking, staff time recording, and documentation workflows, set up correctly from day one. We connect your accounting and payroll systems so R&D costs are captured automatically as the work happens.
Pre-approval strategy
Advice on which projects to put before the Emirates R&D Council, how to present them against the Frascati Manual criteria, and how to sequence applications so your strongest projects lead.
Due diligence and R&D tax
For transactions and investment rounds, we review existing projects and claim history to give an accurate assessment of risk, and advise on strategy for future claims and structuring to maximise value.
Developing your in-house team
Tailored technical support, training and senior counsel for in-house finance and R&D teams. Ongoing partnership, regular refreshers, or one-off assignments, whatever works for your business.
The right specialisms, assembled for you.
Matching the right expertise to your business needs is a key part of our consultancy. Every engagement draws on the same people who prepare and sign off full claims.
Chartered tax advisers
To oversee your engagement, analyse your costs, and keep everything aligned with the Corporate Tax legislation.
Sector specialists
Industry-experienced specialists who speak your language, identify the full extent of your R&D, and translate it for the FTA.
Compliance platform
Our platform captures costs and staff time automatically and reviews every claim against the latest legislation.
Quality assurance
A dedicated review of every deliverable, so the advice you act on is audit-ready before it reaches you.
We work with your existing partners, not around them.
R&D tax is one part of your wider tax and business strategy. We work seamlessly alongside your accountants, legal advisers and investors, acting as an extension of your team rather than a replacement for it.
For accountants: if your clients need specialist R&D support under the new regime, we partner on an ongoing or ad-hoc basis, always open and transparent, strengthening your client relationships rather than competing with them.
Start with a conversation.
Your first consultation is on us. We will review your position, tell you honestly whether you are likely to qualify, what it could be worth, and what pre-approval will require – before you commit to anything.
No obligation. Sixteen years of chartered practice behind every answer.
