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

The Clarus team makes the whole process straightforward and simple. They take a somewhat complicated set of tax code provisions and distill the whole process into a questionnaire that results in a filing. It is simple. The Clarus team is professional, courteous, and has expert knowledge in this area. The whole experience just gave us a lot of confidence in Clarus.

How have you used your R&D tax credit?

We used our R&D credit to accelerate our product development. The credit allowed us to hire additional software engineering talent.

What advice would you give others looking to benefit from the R&D tax credit?

The R&D tax credit is readily available to most organizations. It is definitely worth engaging Clarus in a dialogue. It is a tax provision that isn’t widely known but exists to help companies that are making R&D investments. I highly recommend taking advantage of it!

Why did you choose Clarus R+D?

Clarus’ affiliation with TriNet, our payroll provider, really gave us confidence in Clarus. We’ve used TriNet for many years and they have served us well.
