Why invest in R&D tax relief training?
The most comprehensive R&D training resource on the market
It’s hard to grow a profitable, competitive & ethical R&D service if you aren’t confident in the claims you’re submitting. HMRC’s guidance on the Tax Relief programme is so generic and subjective that it’s difficult to know if you’re interpreting it correctly and giving your clients good advice.
Whatever your role is in preparing R&D claims for your clients, what you need is clear and impartial training and support that breaks down the guidance and shows you how to apply it to your clients.
Raising standards in R&D tax relief
We’ve had enough of the good guys being the underdogs of R&D tax relief. When advisors take standards and ethics seriously, that should be a compelling selling point, not a disadvantage!
Our philosophy is to share our knowledge and help as many compliance-minded R&D advisors as possible. The more knowledge we share with you, our members, the harder it is for R&D cowboys to win business at your or your clients’ expense.
Like you, we want to see higher standards in the R&D market. That means more transparency, accountability and training – and ultimately regulation.

This community of professionals is exemplary, and the information provided in the training would help many people grasp the concept of R&D and its complexities. I highly recommend this to any R&D Advisor.
James Lizars
For a small accounting practice operating in an R&D intensive niche, having everything in-house for a full and compliant R&D service is tough.The community, the helpline, the second-set of eyes, and the training modules have all proved to be invaluable. They’ve provided clarity and confidence in how we’re advising our clients and given us access to expert additional resource when we’ve needed it.
Nick Hume
I have found Richard Edwards to be an absolutely essential part of our R&D tax delivery. His technical knowledge is unsurpassed. He also has a good demeanour with the clients which has helped enormously in bridging misunderstandings often generated by R&D telesales.
Jonathon Yeomans
It’s an incredibly useful addition to our internal R&D training programme, accessible 24/7, which helps to consolidate R&D learning by testing the candidate’s knowledge on all aspects of the scheme as they progress.
It’s also a valuable additional to our “belt and braces” approach of ensuring that all our customer-facing staff have the deepest knowledge of the R&D tax scheme possible.
