I am a software & digital consultant specializing in the support of software R&D tax credit claims. I work directly with claimant businesses to help them through the process, and with accountants and R&D claim specialist businesses as their software expert.

R&D tax credits were put in place to incentive businesses to carry out R&D and support innovation in the UK. But businesses often think that the benefit of R&D tax relief is small, and the effort to claim is big – that’s often not true…

I help to qualify and produce the documentation required for making software R&D claims. I use my experience from more than 20 years in the software & digital industries – from developer, through technical team leading to board & CTO positions – along with my knowledge and experience of R&D claims for 8 years across hundreds of different businesses.

…I’m always up for an informal chat if you aren’t sure about whether your business qualifies or want to know more about the process and options – why not contact me via email or LinkedIn

My strength has always been in communicating, being a bridge between business and technology. Sometimes that’s articulating complicated technical concepts to non-techies, other times translating business requirements into technical solutions. Along the way, that’s allowed me to see a wide range of technologies and ways of working across many organisations.

I was the claimant running technical teams at several businesses and saw the benefit first-hand – now my aim is to help others to realize the same same benefits to develop their own businesses

I founded Articulate R&D to support accounting professionals in the crucial industry technical aspects of claims. Whereas my focus is software and digital, my colleagues have similar experience in their specialist industries including engineering, architecture, product development and construction.

Alongside R&D claims, I support companies that don’t have a dedicated CTO to bridge the gap between leaders and their development teams, working with my network of professionals working in this space.
