Research and development (R&D) tax credits
We work alongside you, combining experienced advisers and our purpose-built technology to simplify R&D credits and strengthen your claims.
Maximize ROI with a human-centered, tech-enabled R&D tax credit strategy
R&D tax credit scrutiny is increasing, driven by expanded reporting requirements, greater specificity on timely filed returns, and heightened examination standards. At the same time, tax leaders are expected to meet these demands with fewer resources and minimal disruption.
Traditional approaches for claiming the R&D tax credit no longer are sufficient or efficient. Manual reviews, fragmented processes, and after-the-fact documentation create unnecessary risk and force trade-offs between accuracy, efficiency, and defensibility.
Our approach changes those trade-offs. Through long-standing investment in our people and in automation, data standardization, and analytics-enabled workflows, our teams provide broader data analysis, greater year-over-year consistency, and clearer insight into opportunity and risk, without increasing the burden on your tax, finance, or technical teams.
Designed around how you actually operate
As a trusted adviser to startups, scale-ups, and established enterprises, Crowe understands no two taxpayers approach the R&D tax credit the same way. We assess how your R&D is performed, where friction exists, and which outcomes matter most to you. Then we tailor a plan to fit your needs – whether full-service, shared-services, or targeted support – reducing burden, boosting confidence, and delivering sustainable results.
Today’s complex tax environment requires an agile, integrated approach
Our experienced R&D tax professionals lead every study, applying judgment, context, and insight throughout the life cycle. Technology is embedded to support our work, helping you achieve cleaner data, greater consistency, and stronger year-over-year analysis.
