Australia’s top-rated R&D tax consultancy with 250+ 5 star Google reviews. Melbourne-based, national clients. We specialise in audit-ready R&D claims that stand up to AusIndustry and the ATO.

The Role

Own claims end-to-end and deliver clean, defensible work.

Scope core vs supporting - Turn messy projects into clear, compliant activities.

Draft like a lawyer - Tight write-ups aligned to R&DTI legislation and guidance.

Build the numbers - Budgets, eligible cost methodologies, apportionments, associate payments.

Substantiate properly - Evidence plans, contemporaneous records, audit-ready files.

Manage clients - Set expectations, keep momentum, hit deadlines.

Delivery expectations - 2–4 claims/month; 10-15 business-day turnaround from brief to final draft.
Industries - ~70% software, ~20% manufacturing; balance across tech-adjacent sectors.
Tools - Dropbox, Excel, Gmail; tidy file hygiene (naming, versioning, checklists).
