Don’t Just Take Our Word for It

  • Our R&D tax relief claim was selected for a detailed review by HMRC. The support and assistance received by the Ryan team throughout meant the experience was far less painful than we anticipated; we received a very successful outcome as a result of Ryan’s expertise and knowledge in dealing with such matters and at no extra cost to us.

  • "In order to completely unlock the full tax benefits that can be hidden within commercial properties, you need time, resources, and specialist expertise. As a busy accountancy firm, this is an area of taxation where we have found our partnership with Ryan invaluable. Not only do they help us and our clients, but they also work with us proactively to help us identify opportunities that we had not previously considered. This enables us to concentrate on our core business, whilst Ryan works in the background, providing us with an additional service to offer our clients, and also a substantial, new revenue stream for our business."
  • "We really value the service you provide to our clients. It gives us an extra value-added service to offer that puts money back in our clients’ pockets."
  • "Working in partnership with Ryan was a pleasure. They made the whole process really smooth and professional for my client and in turn enhanced my reputation. My client was delighted when they received a R&D tax credit they did not know they qualified for."
  • "Great communication and ongoing advice on how to manage our R&D strategy."
  • "Fantastic service! Amazed by what these guys achieved for us—from the initial call to the reward of over £20k took little more than eight weeks with our only input being around four hours. At first, I was sceptical, but the reassurance came easy with the professionalism of these guys. Great company and would recommend all to contact them."
  • “Can truly see when thorough and genuine R&D has been done. Great to work with, thank you for all your help.”
  • “I was not fully aware of Research & Development tax credits until Ryan came along. They were able to claim back on expenses I would never have believed to qualify as Research & Development activity.”
