Comprehensive R&D Tax Credit Recovery Specialist

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.
03

Industries We recover credits for:

1. Manufacturing
2. Construction & Trades
3. Technology & Software
