At Daly Accounting, we believe innovation deserves to be rewarded and that means ensuring early-stage technology companies access the full benefit of the UK’s Research & Development (R&D) tax relief scheme. With over £6 million in successful R&D tax credits secured for our clients, we have a proven track record of delivering value while upholding the highest standards of compliance and professional ethics.

Who We Work With

We specialise in supporting ambitious, high-growth companies developing novel technologies in areas including:

• Biotech

• Climate Change Technologies

• Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Our focus is on early-stage and scale-up ventures where qualifying R&D activity may be integral to the company’s purpose from drug discovery platforms to environmental modelling tools and machine learning infrastructure.

Helping You Navigate a Complex Landscape

The R&D tax relief scheme can be complex and ever-changing. Navigating HMRC’s definition of qualifying activity, understanding eligible costs, and staying up to date with the latest changes in legislation can feel like a minefield.

That’s where we come in.

At Daly Accounting, we’ve built up deep expertise in the technical, financial, and regulatory aspects of R&D claims. We help clients confidently navigate this complex landscape ensuring their claims are robust, defensible, and fully optimised.

A Whole-Firm Approach to R&D

We don’t just step in at year-end. As Accountants we provide a full-service including:

• Bookkeeping

• Payroll

• Management reporting

• Statutory accounts and tax compliance

This close working relationship means we gain deep insight into your projects and spending, allowing us to identify qualifying R&D activities more precisely and ensure your claim reflects the full scope of eligible work and related costs.

Honest, Responsible, Expert Advice

As a member of The R&D Community, we are committed to ethical, transparent, and accurate R&D claim preparation. We ensure that claims adhere to HMRC’s definition of R&D, which requires a scientific or technological advance through the resolution of uncertainty. This means we won’t overpromise, misrepresent eligibility, or submit weak or speculative claims.

We prepare every claim with care but we cannot guarantee that HMRC will not scrutinise your claim and open an enquiry. Many claims are selected on a random basis for enquiry. However, we have successfully defended all such enquires received to date which speaks to the quality and robustness of our approach.

Fair Fees, Not Contingency Commissions

Unlike many providers in the market, Daly Accounting does not charge on a percentage or “no win, no fee” basis. We believe that model creates the wrong incentives and does not offer good value to clients. Instead, we charge a transparent, fixed fee so you know exactly what you’ll pay and what you’re getting.
