Navigating tax: Smarter R&D - Transform your approach to innovation spend

Join our webinar to hear how market leading engineering firm Ramboll partnered with S&W’s specialist R&D tax team to enhance how it recognises, tracks and invests in R&D across the business.

About the event

Most businesses recognise that innovation is essential for growth, future proofing products and services, and engaging high skilled teams. 

Yet for CFOs, understanding the true return on R&D investment is challenging. The risks and complexities are often underplayed when technical teams seek budget for innovative projects.

A robust R&D tax relief process is essential for managing tax risks. When used strategically, it can also strengthen how your organisation identifies, values and invests in innovation. Your R&D claim should deliver more than an annual tax benefit – it should support a culture that recognises and rewards innovative activity across the business.

Who is this for?
•    CFOs, FDs and team heads keen to demonstrate the value of innovation spending
•    CTOs, innovation and technical leads responsible for R&D projects and budgets

•    Understand the advantages of a more proactive and data‑driven approach to valuing R&D spend
