You've probably raised SEIS/EIS funding and you're investing in R&D - £250k - £1m+ annually. Your innovation is real. Your team is growing. Your tax situation is complex.
But your options feel limited:
- ✕ Big 4 firms move slowly, cost a fortune and push you down to junior staff
- ✕ Local accountants don't specialise in innovation tax and so opportunities get missed
- ✕ Volume R&D claims factories treat you like a £number and push border-line positions
- ✕ DIY claims & platforms leave money on the table and increase the risk of an HMRC enquiry
What you really need is partner-led, strategic tax planning from someone who understands how innovative, fast-growing companies actually operate.
