About Gearset
Gearset is a scale-up technology business that employs around 350 people. It produces tools for people who work with Salesforce, making it easy for them to deploy their changes.
Gearset is a product-led company that listens to customers’ pain points, addressing them through its software-based R&D.
It has been claiming R&D tax relief for around five years – originally supported by its auditor. Having appointed ForrestBrown, Gearset is benefiting from greater technical expertise and increased peace of mind.
Client reflections on working with ForrestBrown
The R&D rule changes prompted us to evaluate our existing R&D adviser. We came across ForrestBrown, who were able to explain the rules clearly, reassure us of eligibility and ensure that our R&D is effectively translated for HMRC.
Having ForrestBrown write the reports has removed previous pain points. Their technical expertise is excellent. They quickly understood our R&D and optimise our claims efficiently, with minimal back and forth.
I have been really impressed with how quickly the technical team can process information, ask good questions and reflect what they’ve heard in accessible language and high-quality reports. They are nice people too – empathetic and relatable.
ForrestBrown has provided clarity and expertise, giving me confidence that we are in safe hands and removing uncertainty. The peace of mind this provides is invaluable.
