The shake up of the R&D tax market has seen several advisers leave the market and others seemingly unable to progress claims, which leaves a lot of accountants with a decision to make. If your approach has been to rely on an external firm but that firm is no longer around, or you simply don’t trust that they are doing the job properly, bringing claims in house can be an attractive option.  

To make the most of that option, you need 2 things:

• strong client relationships, and
• confidence that you’ll be able to do a great job. 

Confidence comes from technical training, practical understanding of how to approach this work and making sure you’ve got the right level of support for when things go off piste (which could be an area you’re unfamiliar with, an HMRC challenge or a grey area in the guidance). 

This session will discuss the process followed by several firms that have grown in confidence and have seen a 5 X increase in their R&D fees by handling the work themselves rather than taking a share of the fee. 

This session will be of interest to advisers with a familiarity of R&D tax work and an appetite to do more.  This will be a practical session rather than a technical update.
