Source Advisors can absorb the increased work volumes now required in preparing an R&D claim for your clients. We are aware of any updates to the processes and guidance of making R&D tax relief claims and handle any new administrative requirements or procedures on your behalf.
We work to defend our R&D tax relief claims, essentially giving peace of mind with the increased likelihood of an HMRC enquiry.
Source Advisors is also a specialist in offering IP and patent services. These are value added services that you could extend to your clients.
As R&D specialists, we stay one step ahead of legislative changes and their impacts. We have a compliance-led approach, with a knowledge of what HMRC wants to see in an R&D claim. We apply those same skills when we defend an R&D claim in HMRC enquiry, carry out compliance assessments or offer other specialist guidance.
Uniquely we use our expertise in patent landscaping to define an R&D baseline to demonstrate compliant R&D activity in a tax relief claim.
Source Advisors supports you with a dedicated team, who will become an essential part of your R&D team. We hold regular CPD-certified training, delivered by webinar or in your office, to upskill your people. Training is also offered to provide a holistic view of the value of IP and Patent Box, in particular.
As a Source Advisors’ partner, you have access to an online portal to track the progress of your clients’ R&D claims. This also offers a secure platform to share confidentially client data safely.

When you offer R&D services to your clients, through your partnership with Source Advisors, you can be sure that your clients receive a service that is second to none. You can proceed safely with the knowledge that we have mitigated your risk of making inaccurate claims and protected you and your clients against the costs of defending an enquiry.
Sometimes this means that we provide a challenge to your existing processes and suggest that some clients do not have an R&D claim to make. This is to protect the integrity of the scheme and to provide a robust risk assessment to protect you and your client from issues with HMRC further down the line.
An important consideration in defending an R&D claim could be in establishing the R&D baseline. Using patent information can be a fundamental part of demonstrating that an R&D project is seeking to achieve an advance in overall knowledge or capability. Source Advisors can provide a snapshot of the patent situation for a specific technology that answers the R&D baseline question for HMRC.
As our accounting partner, you will automatically have full visibility and transparency of your clients’ journey through their R&D tax claims. Importantly our portal allows you to share sensitive and confidential documents securely. You are never left in the dark and know exactly where your client is in our process.
