R&D tax credits aren't just for tech companies.
If you're trying anything new or innovative you might qualify.
Dental/Healthcare. Automotive. Manufacturing. Construction. Product development.
The IRS allows credits for innovation, improvement, and technical problem-solving.
Most accountants don't bring it up.
Not because it's aggressive. Because they don't understand it.
R&D Tax Credit are a specialization that most tax pros have never been trained on, it's not their fault.
You Don't Need a Lab. You Need a Process.
Manufacturing
Developing new products, improving processes, refining production methods, solving technical challenges
Construction
Engineering solutions, custom fabrication, innovative building methods, technical problem-solving
Technology & Software
Product development, system architecture, algorithm design, platform engineering
Healthcare
Dental & chiropractic practices, functional medicine innovations, treatment protocols, medical devices
Engineering
Design iteration, testing, refinement, systematic experimentation, technical uncertainty resolution
Product Development
Creating, improving, or refining products using scientific or technical methods
The Four-Part Test
You qualify if your work involves:
1. Attempting to improve a product, process, or system
2. Dealing with uncertainty about the best approach
3. Applying technical knowledge grounded in science or engineering
4. Testing, refining, or iterating to resolve that uncertainty
Most business owners disqualify themselves before anyone ever looks.
The right move isn't guessing. It's reviewing.
Free Review. No Risk. Clear Outcome.
01
Complimentary Feasibility Review
Initial interview about how your business operates. High-level document collection. Review conducted by R&D specialist, not a salesperson.
Done at our expense. No obligation.
02
Qualification Decision
You either qualify or you don't. If you don't qualify, you invested time, not money. If you do qualify, you choose whether to proceed.
No pressure either way.
03
Formal Credit Study (If Engaged)
Detailed interviews, documentation of qualifying activities, allocation of qualifying expenses, preparation of credit calculation and supporting workpapers.
Defensible. Documented. Specialist-prepared.
04
Filing Flexibility
Once the study is complete, our accounting firm can handle the filing, or your existing CPA can use the completed study.
Goal is the outcome, not control.
Actual Tax Credits.
Not Deductions.
R&D credits directly reduce tax liability.
Dollar-for-dollar reduction in taxes owed.
In some cases, they result in cash back.
In other cases, they reduce current or future taxes.
Because the work has already been done, credits can often be applied retroactively to prior years.
This is why R&D credits are considered low-hanging fruit when applicable.
One-Time Recovery
Some clients do a one-time study to capture prior-year credits. Recover 3-7 years of missed opportunities. Inject capital back into the business.
Ongoing Strategy
Others qualify on an ongoing basis and integrate R&D credits into their annual tax strategy. Systematic capture of qualifying activities year over year.
The decision depends on your business, whether qualifying activities continue, and how it fits into your broader tax plan.
Client Example
Manufacturing Company: $380K Recovered
Industry: Custom manufacturing, $8M revenue
Situation: Developing custom solutions for clients. Iterative design process. Technical problem-solving. Never considered R&D credits.
What We Found: Qualified under all four tests. Systematic experimentation. Technical uncertainty. Process refinement. Product improvement.
Result: $380,000 in R&D credits over three years. Applied retroactively. Cash refund received.
What They Did With It: Paid down debt. Invested in equipment. Freed up working capital. Integrated into ongoing tax strategy.
Most Firms Serve Large Enterprises.
Most CPAs Don't Offer This at All.

We serve low- to mid-market business owners.

R&D Credits Are a Lever, Not the Strategy
When applicable, they:
Reduce current tax exposure
Free up capital
Increase liquidity
Create fuel for wealth acceleration
That capital is then intentionally routed into:
Savings. Investment. De-risking. Long-term planning.
This is why R&D credits often sit inside a larger tax engagement, but can also stand alone as a specialized service.
