This page outlines the typical pricing structures, core services, and the key differences between average and best-in-class R&D tax advisors.
The pricing insights presented on this page are based on client feedback, proposal comparisons, market intelligence, and anonymised fee data gathered from across the UK R&D tax consultancy sector.
R&D tax specialist consultancies, often referred to as boutique R&D tax firms, focus exclusively on research and development tax relief and related innovation incentives. Unlike general accountancy firms or automated software platforms, these providers offer a hands-on, end-to-end service, combining technical and financial expertise to prepare compliant, well-evidenced R&D claims.
R&D tax consultancies usually provide a full claim management service that covers both the technical and financial aspects of the process.

Best-in-class R&D tax advisors combine technical domain expertise with specialist tax knowledge, ensuring claims are accurate, defensible, and fully compliant. They invest more time in discovery, documentation, and review, and stand behind their work through enquiry defence and fee-refund guarantees.
Understanding what different R&D tax consultancies charge and what level of service they provide can be surprisingly difficult.
Many firms hide their fees behind “discovery calls” or sales pitches, often claiming that “every R&D claim is different” and therefore pricing must be tailored.
While it’s true that claim complexity varies, this lack of transparency makes it challenging for businesses to compare value and scope.
