Who I work with
As the Partner-in-Charge of Specialty Tax, I work with a wide range of clients from startups to publicly traded Fortune 500 companies. They all have two things in common: they are innovators and they like to save money. Any company that designs, develops or improves products, processes, techniques, formulas or software may be eligible to claim R&D tax credits. Many companies don’t even realize they can qualify for these lucrative tax credits! If you think your company might be eligible, contact me for a free consultation.
My specialty
I specialize in helping manufacturing, technology and engineering businesses save money through R&D tax credits. Each year my team and I help clients receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax savings. I have considerable experience calculating credits for:
- Multi-year or military contracts
- Heavily controlled/regulated businesses
- Complex international business structures
- Comprehensive international R&D services including services relating to Canada’s Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax incentive program, as well as R&D tax credits for companies operating in the United Kingdom.
