About RD Partners
We are a team of dedicated R&D tax specialists, scientists, and chartered advisers committed to helping innovative UK companies access the funding they are entitled to.
Our Mission
We exist to ensure innovative UK businesses receive the funding they deserve. The R&D tax credit scheme is a powerful government incentive, but its complexity means many companies fail to claim their full entitlement. Our mission is to simplify this process, combining deep technical expertise with tax acumen to deliver robust, maximised claims for our clients across all sectors.
Our Story
RD Partners was founded by a group of tax specialists and scientists who saw a recurring problem: countless innovative UK companies were missing out on vital R&D funding. They recognised that the complexity of preparing a claim—requiring both deep technical understanding and intricate tax knowledge—was a significant barrier.
Driven by a shared purpose, they built a new kind of consultancy. One where PhD-qualified technical experts work hand-in-hand with chartered tax advisers. This integrated approach allows us to "translate" complex innovation into the precise language HMRC requires, ensuring that every claim is both technically robust and financially optimised.
From our origins serving the software and life sciences sectors, we have grown to become one of the UK's most trusted R&D tax consultancies, with deep expertise across all major industries. Our growth is a testament to our client-first ethos and our unwavering commitment to excellence.
