Expertise for accountancies, consultancies and others

While you may be familiar with the financials of your customers, we bring the technical and legal expertise around R&D tax claims; so you can focus on what you do best.
  • Outsource the R&D tax delivery lifecycle
  • Focus on higher value work and let us help with identifying relevant R&D, drafting narratives and working with HMRC enquiries.
Take R&D work to the next level
Most accountancies and even R&D firms struggle with drafting persuasive and robust technological R&D narratives. They simply do not have the time and resource to keep up to date with the newest technological and scientific developments. The result: claims get questioned or sometimes even fail. At the same time, clients find themselves unable to claim the money they should be claiming for.
What we do
5Factors is the UK’s first R&D agency that is solely focussed on helping accountancies, consultancies and even leading R&D firms with drafting, reviewing, interviewing and HMRC enquiry management. With its laser sharp focus, the team can stay abreast of the newest technologies and legislation and therefore provide expertise that is difficult to find otherwise.

The team consists of technical experts, scientists and legal professionals from various fields. As a result, claims drafted are of the highest level of quality and persuasiveness.

Empowerrd | website

 

As a high-growth company, Empowerrd was looking for a competent partner that could assist throughout the entire claim delivery lifecycle. In particular, during its enormous  growth phases the company faced significant resource shortages and required highly trained technological expertise. At the same time, the company

required extremely short turnaround times, in some instances under 24 hours, which is completely unparalleled within the industry.

Together with the 5Factors team, Empowerrd developed a strategic, multi-year plan that included expert claimsupport as well as the provisioning of dedicated expert resources. Extremely  stringent

GrantTree | website

 

Grant tree is a key player in the UK, offering R&D services across the entire spectrum, together with bespoke grant support services. While the company has a strong writer pool, it required expertise in association with technological and scientific claim assessments. In other words, the company was looking for a

partner how could quickly and easily be involved in cases on an individual basis, assess qualifying technologies with different client stakeholders and provide a robust  baseline which can be used for claim drafting.

Based on these requirements, a bespoke concept was developed, in which the

Rukea | website

 

Rukea is a boutique R&D consultancy, offering drafting services as well as support around HMRC enquiries. Initially the company was struggling with inefficiencies throughout its internal review process, which was due to a lack of resources. At the same time, dealing with highly complex claims, conventional writers were simply unable to deliver the quality required.

With its multi—disciplined team, 5Factors developed a tailored support offering, involving drafting as well as research support. Today, the 5Factors team has become an integral part of the Rukea story.
