Behind an R&D tax claim is a business tackling technical challenges. Help UK businesses explain that work clearly, supporting well-evidenced claims while building your understanding of how research, development and tax relief connect.
The Company
Based in Glasgow, our client is a growing business growth and funding consultancy supporting ambitious businesses. Its services cover R&D tax relief, other tax incentives, accountancy, funding and HMRC enquiry support. The focus is on practical client involvement and technically sound advice backed by evidence. You will join a relatively lean team that takes your development seriously, with room to shape your career as your knowledge grows.
The Role
As a Graduate R&D Tax Consultant, you will help translate businesses' technical projects into clear, compliant reports. Understanding what clients have investigated, and why it matters for R&D eligibility, sits at the centre of your work. This is a full-time opportunity with an ASAP start.
