They also help clients on their processes to capture data in relation to fixed assets and have developed technology tools to assist with this process.

The IRI team works with companies of all sizes from almost every sector of the economy to identify their qualifying R&D activity, quantify it and help them obtain their R&D incentives, as well as working with clients to best leverage the Patent Box regime.
