1. Who we are
  2. Our mission

Our mission

Our mission is to help innovative businesses develop and grow.

We’re passionate about the power of innovation to supercharge the UK economy, creating jobs, growth and solutions to society’s biggest challenges. R&D is at the heart of the UK’s national mission of economic growth, and our work helps businesses play their part in making this a reality.

Many of our R&D tax relief clients use the benefit they receive to hire new STEM talent and kickstart even more ambitious projects. This creates a vital pathway for future talent in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers.

ForrestBrown can help your business harness the power of innovation incentives, maximising the positive impact for your team, your communities and the UK economy.

Excellence

We strive for excellence in everything we do. We recruit the top talent in tax and from within industry, and train to the gold standard. We’re not content to stand still, and instead constantly challenge ourselves to learn and improve. This commitment to excellence results in superior advice and amazing results.

Integrity

We value relationships above all else. Keeping our clients happy is what makes us tick. We communicate openly and honestly, and take time to understand your business to uncover the full extent of your innovation. Our approach is rigorous, with a quality assurance process built-in. This means our work is considered and protected from risk.

Passion

We are energetic, driven and inquisitive by nature. We’re passionate about our clients, their innovation and the positive impact that innovation incentives can have – on a business and the UK economy as a whole. This common purpose drives us forward as a team and has a phenomenal impact.

ForrestBrown’s Forest

ForrestBrown’s forest is our green initiative made possible by supporting Tree Aid, our charity partner. It is a metaphorical forest, but one with real trees that helps our planet and vulnerable populations. It’s our way of giving something back.

For every R&D tax claim we complete, we make a donation to Tree Aid, which works across the drylands of Africa, tackling poverty and the effects of the climate crisis by growing trees.

Tree Aid’s community-led projects are part of the Great Green Wall initiative, an ambitious, Africa-led regreening movement, aimed at growing 8,000 km of trees across the width of Africa. It helps to transform lives by empowering people to grow nutritious food and make sustainable incomes from tree products, while tackling the effects of the climate crisis for those living along its frontline.

Since 1987, Tree Aid has partnered with local communities to grow over 32 million trees and support over 1.2 million people across African drylands. By 2027, Tree Aid aim to have worked with over 2.4 million people, providing vital support and growing 12 million more trees where they are needed most.

Tree Aid is changing lives one tree at a time and we are proud to support them. To find out more, visit Tree Aid’s website.
