Choosing the wrong adviser can be a costly mistake.
The R&D tax relief landscape is complex and the adviser market is not regulated by a single regulator in the same way as some other professional services. Many businesses make their choice based on little more than a cold call or a polished website.
The wrong adviser carries real risk
A poorly constructed claim can attract HMRC scrutiny, require costly corrections and in some cases, lead to penalties. The adviser you choose directly affects your compliance position and your exposure to HMRC enquiry risk.
Key information is scattered
Relevant adviser information, including Companies House filings, professional memberships, ICO registration, company age and other indicators, sits across multiple sources. Knowing what to check, how to interpret it and how to compare it consistently takes time most businesses simply do not have.
Marketing claims are difficult to verify
Many advisers make bold claims about their expertise, success rates and client numbers. Without independent, structured data, it's hard to assess what's genuine and what's promotional copy.
Due diligence takes too long
Properly researching even a shortlist of advisers can take hours. Most companies end up cutting corners - or skipping independent research altogether - when time is tight.
Key information to help you assess every adviser
Adviser Radar brings together carefully selected public records, adviser information and proprietary analysis into clear, consistent profiles, helping you research faster and compare advisers with greater confidence.
Company checks
Review Companies House status, incorporation date, filing history and other company health indicators - all from official public records.
Professional memberships
See affiliations with recognised professional bodies including ATT, ICAEW, CIOT and other relevant industry organisations where applicable.
Data security credentials
Access information about ICO registration and other data protection indicators - relevant when an adviser handles sensitive company and financial information.
