How we can help

R&D tax credits

R&D tax relief remains a valuable yet complex incentive. For accountants, managing claims can be time-intensive and expose clients to compliance risk. Ayming brings deep technical and sector expertise, collaborating seamlessly with you to uncover qualifying projects, strengthen claim documentation, and safeguard accuracy. The result is enhanced client outcomes, a stronger advisory relationship, and peace of mind for both you and your clients.

Direct funding and Global network

Accessing Direct funding opportunities can transform client innovation, yet navigating the landscape is complex. Ayming’s specialists track opportunities across global markets, guiding accountants and their clients through every stage. From eligibility checks to application support, we ensure clients are positioned for success. With our international reach, we connect your clients to the right partners, programmes, and funding streams that accelerate sustainable growth.

Patent box

Patent Box can deliver substantial tax relief, but it’s often underutilised. Accountants can rely on Ayming to bring clarity and precision to this area. We analyse IP portfolios, align with R&D activities, and ensure compliance with HMRC requirements. By partnering with us, you can expand your advisory services, improve tax efficiency for your clients, and demonstrate added value through strategic insight and financial impact.

HMRC Enquiry defence

With HMRC adopting a tougher stance in recent years, enquiries can be disruptive and time-consuming. Ayming supports accountants by managing the entire process, from technical analysis to communication with HMRC. Our experience ensures strong, evidence-based responses that protect claim integrity and mitigate risk. Partnering with us helps accountants defend their clients confidently, strengthen trust, and focus on adding value rather than firefighting disputes.
