Working with Walmer Group was the easiest experience that we have had when claiming R&D Tax Relief. We actually weren’t going to lodge an R&D claim for our Financial Year ending in June 2021, but having consulted the expert team from Walmer, they were able to assure us that in fact we could claim on certain expenditure that other advisers had told us we couldn’t. The benefit of this claim allowed us to accelerate the hiring of additional staff to help scale the business. Their process was smooth and seamless and I would highly recommend Walmer’s services to those in my network.
I’ve worked with Walmer group for our last two R&D claims and can confidently say they’ve been great. The process was smooth from start to finish and they kept me informed throughout. We were able to utilise the funds/benefit received as a result of their service to invest in marketing, and product development, as well as taking on new technologies to further our innovation. Their commitment to client satisfaction is evident from their interactions, helpful seminars and feedback calls. I’ll be continuing to engage them each year, as I need a trusted partner that can help me navigate changes in the process and save me valuable time.
