R&D Tax Costing Consultant

We’re partnered with a specialist R&D tax consultancy that supports innovative businesses across the UK. They are a close knit, growing team known for high quality delivery, strong technical standards, and a genuinely supportive culture.

The team is now looking to hire a junior R&D Tax Costing Consultant to support the financial delivery of R&D tax claims. This role is well suited to someone who enjoys working with numbers, understands how claims are built financially, and wants to deepen their R&D tax expertise in a delivery focused environment.

The role

This position focuses on the financial and costing side of R&D tax claims. It is not a 360 advisory role, but you will work closely with technical colleagues and gain exposure to the wider claim process.

You will be responsible for:

• Preparing R&D cost schedules and detailed financial analyses
• Reviewing client financial data to identify qualifying R&D expenditure
• Supporting the preparation and submission of R&D tax claims
• Working collaboratively with technical specialists who lead on eligibility and technical narratives

An understanding of the technical aspects of R&D tax, or a genuine interest in developing that knowledge, would be beneficial.

About you

This role would suit someone who:

• Has experience in R&D tax costing, financial analysis, or a related tax or consulting role
• Is comfortable working with spreadsheets, financial data, and cost modelling
• Understands the fundamentals of R&D tax claims, particularly from a financial perspective
• Enjoys working as part of a close knit team rather than in a purely client facing or sales driven role
• Is early in their R&D tax career and looking for strong foundations and progression

The environment

• A collaborative, close knit team with a strong internal culture
• Exposure to a varied client base across multiple innovative sectors
• High standards of technical and financial quality
• A supportive environment with structured learning and development

This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to build depth in R&D tax costing within a

team that values quality, collaboration, and long term development.
