Accountants: 4 Ways an R&D Tax Credits Specialist Will Add Value to Your Clients

Is your accountancy working with R&D Tax Credit-eligible companies? Then partnering with a specialist like GrantTree could unlock a host of benefits for you and your clients. 

You heard it here first: accountancies and R&D Tax Credits specialists make an excellent team.

Every year GrantTree partners with accountants from all across the UK, joining forces on dozens of tax credit claims. Each time we see the power of our collaboration. 

Our partners bring an unmatched understanding of their clients and regions. We provide technical expertise and tax credit know-how. Together, we add huge value to scores of UK businesses working in everything from software to manufacturing; engineering to biotechnology. 

We’ve worked hard to build an offering that benefits all parties. That increases client engagement, maximises claim sizes, and rewards our partners with additional revenue.

An excellent client experience

Clients are always looking to streamline. 

But when an accountant and R&D Tax Credits provider work independently, there can be a lot of doubling up. Information is shared twice, questions are answered twice, and so on. 

Working together, we can stop all this duplication.

Our tax experts can gather all the information they need from the records you have on file. Then we can work with the client directly on the technical aspects of their claim. 

This kind of collaboration puts the clients’ needs at the heart of our work. Clients are quick to recognise this and to welcome outside expertise when it adds value. 

Maximised R&D Tax Credit claims

We pride ourselves on claiming every penny of tax relief possible.  

Our financial experts will go through your clients’ financials with a fine-toothed comb, ensuring every eligible expense is submitted to HMRC. 

Also, your complete access to your clients’ financials means we’re perfectly positioned to identify all eligible costs, some of which are usually missed by less experienced providers.

All this means a potentially much larger claim size and a stronger relationship with your customer.  

Elite technical expertise

When filing for R&D Tax Credits, companies must translate their sophisticated development work into language HMRC can understand. 

Having invested heavily in our in-house tech experts – building a team which includes PhDs, scientists and software engineers – this is exactly what GrantTree is set up to do.

Our team can sit down with a client’s technical team, get to the bottom of their R&D, and produce a water-tight technical narrative which justifies and expedites their claim. Doing this as technically-sophisticated peers leaves a lasting impression.

A robust technical narrative also greatly reduces the chance your client will face an expensive, time-consuming enquiry. Thanks to our team’s expertise, our clients’ enquiry rates are some of the lowest on the market. 

A rewarding partnership

We are grateful to our partners for trusting GrantTree with their clients. And for the time they invest in making our collaboration thrive. 

As a thank you, we are happy to offer our partners a generous referral fee for any business we work together on.
