Direct Tax Manager FTSE 100 Company

“InnoFund reviewed our commercial contracts and operations and uncovered potential problems we could encounter under the new merged scheme. Their insight allowed us to make the necessary changes to our operations and safeguard more projects under the new merged scheme. SecuRD® as a methodology is forward- thinking.”

Head of Tax Construction

“We hear of many R&D Tax horror stories and we wanted certainty that our claims were eligible. InnoFund used an external professor to provide an independent review and witness statement about our R&D which gave us certainty that we were eligible for R&D Tax credits.”

Group CFO EMEA Insurance Company

“InnoFund’s insight into the market has been valuable in serving our clients across all sectors. Not only do they understand the nuances within R&D Tax Credits but they are great at spotting other funding opportunities for our clients. Their smaller team is much more personable than some of the large corporates we’ve partnered with and they really do go that extra mile to satisfy our customers. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer their services to anyone in my network.”
