About Us
Setting the standard for high-quality, defensible R&D Tax Delivery
Our role is to provide clarity where there is ambiguity, and confidence where there is uncertainty. Helping businesses build claims they can stand behind.
Why Knight R&D exists
To bring clarity, confidence and credibility to R&D tax in an environment where uncertainty and scrutiny are increasing.
Behind every R&D claim is a business making important decisions about investment, risk, and future growth.
In a landscape that has become more complex and more closely examined, we exist to provide clarity where there is ambiguity, and confidence where there is uncertainty.
We help businesses understand what can be supported and build claims they can stand behind – not just at submission, but under scrutiny.
What sets Knight R&D apart
R&D tax requires more than a standardised process.
We combine technical understanding with careful application of legislation, ensuring each claim is accurate, structured and built to withstand scrutiny.
Legislative integrity: Grounded in HMRC guidance
Every claim is aligned to current legislation, ensuring accuracy and compliance from the outset.
Technical expertise: Understanding the work before assessing
We engage directly with technical teams to ensure claims reflect genuine innovation—not assumptions.
Depth of approach: No template-led delivery
Each claim is built from the ground up, tailored to the specific realities of the business.
Defensibility: Built for scrutiny
Our work is robust, well-documented, and prepared to withstand HMRC enquiry.
Our Approach
