What was your experience with the Clarus R+D team?

Our experience with the Clarus R+D team was outstanding! We were not familiar with the R&D credit and felt the process would be cumbersome. The Clarus team was really knowledgeable, very responsive (even during the holidays), and solutions-oriented. They made sure we completed all the necessary paperwork on time, coordinated with our CPA, and provided valuable advice throughout the process.

The R&D program is an immensely valuable resource which can help your business innovate and grow.

How do you plan to use the R&D tax credit?

Continuously investing in the best technology and research talent is a mission-critical part of our business. We plan to use the savings we realized through the R&D credit to hire more data scientists.

What tips would you give other entrepreneurs?

The R&D program is an immensely valuable resource that can help your business innovate and grow. In our first year, we received a payroll tax credit of $40,000 which is a really meaningful saving for us.

Any advice for prospective Clarus R+D customers?

You are in very good hands! The Clarus R+D team is exceptional, and you could not find a better partner to help you navigate this complex credit. Just make sure you start the process early enough to meet the filing deadlines.
