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.

The R&D Community provides an excellent way to train the team in a consistent manner and to a high standard. The video content makes it highly interactive and easy to follow. I have been searching for a long time for a training course like this and I am so happy to finally have found something so good.
Karen Evans
Finished the eligibility and intro course last night. Spent 3 hours CPD watching Richard . In my view, (working in R&D tax relief, as an Accountant since 2015) this is the best training out there in terms of content, format and practical application. Thank you Richard.
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.

The R&D Community is a must for those R&D professionals that want to double check their own knowledge and/or learn more details about the scheme. It enables you to give better quality advice and provide an educational approach to clients that want to make a claim.
