Our Philosophy
Our Mission
We seek to achieve our vision by giving compliance-minded R&D professionals the knowledge, support and recognition they need to prosper in a highly competitive market.
We will give advisors access to specialist training, a certification programme, help, support and other member benefits.
Our Vision
We envision a fair and functional R&D consultancy market in which all advisors are knowledgeable, competent, and ethical.
We want to see a market in which a desire to do things properly isn’t a competitive disadvantage – it’s a compelling selling point that wins you business, safeguards your clients and protects the longevity of your R&D service.
Our Roadmap
Training Catalogue
We already have hours of video-based courses, and are constantly adding more. Our training plan covers not only the R&D scheme, but Eligibility Guides that explain what R&D looks like in a range of industry sectors.
Certification programme
Once we have build out our core package of training courses, these will form the basis of the UK’s first certification for R&D advisors. We are consulting with a working group of members to make sure this certification is fit for purpose.
HMRC Consultation
We already canvas members to represent their views to HMRC. We’d like to go beyond this and work with HMRC towards positive change in the scheme, so that good practice is rewarded and poor providers aren’t.
Additional Support
As we grow, we’ll invest in additional technical experts to help us build training, run webinars and run our R&D Helpline and Claim Support services. We’ll select the best people, so you get the best support possible.
