Big Problem: Inefficient Tax Credit Realization.


Big Thinking: Identified A $900,000 Tax Credit, Nearly Twice As Much As Prior Years.

Joining Schneider Downs in 2004, DOUG MORALLY has more than 14 years of public accounting experience. He serves a variety of clients from not-for-profit, construction, retail, transportation, manufacturing industries and professional services.
One of Doug’s clients, a professional services company, was looking to transition their Research and Development (R&D) study to Schneider Downs to save money and maximize the R&D tax credit. Doug’s team was able to use their expertise to expand the sample of projects reviewed in 2019 and increase the net R&D credit. “This expansion helped identify an R&D tax credit of almost $900,000—almost double what have been identified in previous years,” said Doug. “We were able to help our client save significant money and maximize their R&D tax credit.” Schneider Downs provides Big Thinking and Personal Focus in delivering a variety of services for large and small businesses, both publicly and privately held, as well as nonprofit organizations, government entities and more. Through our commitment to thought leadership and knowledge management, we deliver the solutions our clients need with a personal commitment to service.
