We have significant experience conducting R&D studies for a variety of industries, including manufacturing, construction, transportation and logistics, engineering, software development, and chemical products. We can help to review your current R&D Tax Credit calculation or conduct an R&D Tax Credit Study to determine the amount of any potential savings. 

We can also facilitate your company’s accounting and application for the R&D Tax Credit by assisting your staff in:

  • identifying the qualifying R&D activities
  • gathering and documenting the related costs
  • detailing the state tax benefits that may be available

About Utah

Utah isn’t slowing down. Since 2010, it’s had faster population growth than any other state—a trend that shows no sign of stopping. The state ranks among the best in terms of healthcare, education and infrastructure, and it boasts one of the lowest rates of income inequality in the country. Indeed, Utah’s diverse economy offers ample opportunities for employment in the transportation, information technology, research, government service, mining and tourism industries. And Utah is known for attracting business—it consistently ranks as one of the states that is friendliest to small business, and it famously attracts high-paying, high tech jobs. Utah’s five national parks also attract scores of tourists to the area.
