Lots of so-called R&D tax specialists now say they’re ‘technical’, but why is that important and are they telling the truth?
Broadly speaking, if your consultant has a deep understanding of your specific area of technology, they’re going to be more insightful and effective at identifying and documenting eligible activity, and therefore better at maximising your claim.

What Jumpstart means by ‘technical’ is that our people have formal, relevant qualifications, usually complemented by years of in¬dustry experience, enabling them to bridge the complexity between your technical activities and expenditure, and HMRC’s guidelines and clauses.
