Do you love wielding your financial talents to help a wide variety of interesting clients? Do you have a passion for numbers, an eye for detail, and a flair for client relationships? Do you want to work in an autonomous environment where you’ll have the licence to achieve results your way?

If this sounds like you, read on!

GrantTree is the UK’s leading innovation funding consultancy, specialising in R&D Tax Credits, Grants, Video Game Tax Relief and Advanced Funding. We work with some of the country’s most groundbreaking businesses, helping them to maximise their government funding opportunities, and build technologies that will change the world. We have ambitious plans for the future and are looking for bright, passionate, and conscientious people to expand our R&D tax Team.

That’s where you come in!

As an R&D Consultant, you’ll be helping GrantTree’s clients file a maximised, fully-compliant claim for R&D Tax Credits. You’ll gain a deep understanding of R&D Tax Credits, a corporate tax relief scheme that rewards companies for investing in innovation. As part of our rapidly growing team, you’ll be working with internal stakeholders such as our Customer Success Managers and Technical Consultants to ensure all of the Financial and Technical information is collated, analysed and built into the required reports to file a claim. We are looking for future talent who are as good with people as they are with numbers.

On a typical day you might:

• Work closely with our clients’ founders and technical leads to prepare all financial aspects of their R&D claims.
• Proactively provide advice to clients on legal and legislative and changes to the R&D Tax Credits scheme.
• Connect with internal stakeholders on internal and external deadlines.
• Suggest refinements to our R&D Tax Credits delivery process, helping to improve our clients’ experience.
• Attend regular meetings and assist in generating solutions to our clients’ R&D tax matters.
• Assess the impact of changes in the tax law on your client book.

Requirements

• Availability for a full-time position
• Minimum 1 years’ experience in an R&D tax role

• Experience in delivering tax credits claims, or equivalent, including in-depth knowledge of the CIRD and BIS guidelines beyond what typically qualifies and how relief is calculated.
• Experience in servicing a book of clients.
• Confident working on tight deadlines while maintaining high service levels with keen attention to detail
