Who Qualifies
MOST eligible business owners assume they’re too small, or that these credits don’t apply to them. This is the #1 MYTH surrounding the 40-year-old R&D Credit Program, which is literally built for businesses just like yours!
01
What are Incentive & Credits
The R&D Credit Program was established in 1981 (and made permanent with the PATH Act of 2015) specifically to help incentivize U.S. businesses to innovate and flourish. It’s a very niche tax credit that most CPAs are unaware of, which is why 19 out of 20 eligible small businesses miss out. We’re here to change that.
02
Tax Planning
Proper tax planning can help individuals and businesses reduce taxable income, defer taxes, and optimize tax-saving.

We were struggling with financial forecasting until their team stepped in. Thanks to their expertise in R&D tax credits, we recovered thousands in refunds we didn’t even know we qualified for. The savings have had a real impact on our bottom line — and the process was seamless from start to finish.
Jackson Marshall
"We’re constantly refining our processes and developing custom solutions for clients — but I had no idea that qualified for R&D credits. Their team made the entire process simple and stress-free. The documentation was rock solid and ready for our CPA. It’s clear they know manufacturing inside and out."
Mark R.
We knew we qualified for R&D tax credits, but our existing accounting resources couldn’t support the claim process. That’s when we turned to their team — and it made all the difference. They delivered compliant, audit-ready documentation that saved us thousands. Their focused expertise filled a critical gap and delivered real financial results.
