He then started his career at EY, before moving into the mid-tier to specialise in R&D tax for small to medium sized businesses. After working on a number of great projects at Grant Thornton and BDO, Josh moved to the R&D tax team at Deloitte where he continued to provide his high-quality service to businesses seeking help and advice with the R&D claim process.

For Josh, working in the field of R&D is a rewarding experience as he believes he can help a business navigate the often confusing claim process.

Business tips from Josh

Seek out an advisor who genuinely cares about you and your business and can break things down for you in a simple manner.

From an R&D point of view, ensure you are comfortable that the criteria have been met, and that documentation/evidence can be provided if required.
