We will meet you to understand your needs and how we might meet them.
Our accountant partner team will start to educate you and your colleagues about how to identify what counts as R&D in your clients’ specific sectors.

Following a referral, we will take time to understand your client’s business and uncover the full extent of their R&D. Our approach is rigorous and has a quality assurance process built in.
This results in an R&D tax credit claim that is considered, fully-maximised and protected from risk.
All we ask of you is to share some financial information about their costs – with your client’s approval, of course.

Now, more than ever, clients need expert advice on R&D tax relief.
Starting in London on Tuesday 30 April 2024, we’re holding seven in-person events across the UK for senior accounting professionals.
Our monthly accountants newsletter, R&D bites, provides bite-sized examples of the R&D taking place every day in businesses of all sizes and sectors. Subscribe to stay up-to-date on all things R&D tax credits.
We’re working with ForrestBrown to support our clients in identifying projects that qualify, particularly in identifying project boundaries, while we take care of the tax side of things. By bringing ForrestBrown in early, we can drastically reduce the risk of an HMRC enquiry.
We began working with ForrestBrown on our R&D tax relief claims after our accountant, a Top 15 practice, suggested that we could benefit from their significant software expertise. Their knowledge of qualifying expenditure within the sector meant we were able to uncover all of our R&D and feel the full benefit of our investment in innovation.
Every client I’ve referred has loved ForrestBrown’s way of working. It’s a great addition to Old Mill’s client service.
Clients tell us that ForrestBrown are easy to talk to, have a great understanding of their businesses and have been extremely efficient. They are delighted with the financial benefit they receive. I would recommend other accountancy practices to get in touch with ForrestBrown as it’s a great way to deliver a high quality R&D tax credit service.
Navigating significant policy change, especially when more is expected, is already very challenging. Add in the additional scrutiny businesses are facing from HMRC’s focus on compliance, and it’s not surprising businesses and their advisers are struggling to navigate this complexity. Drawing on their deep technical expertise and policy experience, directors Jenny Tragner CA ATT and James Dudbridge LLB are here to help.
For more than 20 years, R&D tax reliefs have featured prominently in the funding landscape for the UK’s innovative businesses. And while the incentive has evolved during this time, businesses have been able to rely on its relative stability. By contrast, 2023 was a year of change with several significant developments to adapt to. This webinar tackled key questions for accountants on new rates and allowances as well as measures being introduced to tackle error and fraud.
