Our process

From discovery to
dollars in four steps

We do the expert heavy lifting — identifying what qualifies, gathering evidence, and preparing everything your CPA needs to file. You stay focused on your business.

1

Free eligibility assessment

We start with a 30-minute conversation to understand your business and R&D activities. You'll leave with a clear, honest estimate of your likely credit potential — no commitment required.

2

Deep-dive analysis

Our specialists work with your team to map qualifying projects, activities, and expenditures against IRS criteria — surfacing every dollar of credit you're entitled to claim.

3

Documentation & claim preparation

We compile a comprehensive, audit-ready claim package — technical narratives, financial calculations, supporting evidence, and all required forms — ready for filing.

Delivered to you or your CPA for filing
4

You file and receive your credit

Your CPA submits the completed claim package. Credits are applied against your tax liability or issued as a refund — and you keep more of what your innovation has earned.

Eligibility

You may
already qualify

R&D tax credits apply far more broadly than most businesses realise. If your team is solving technical problems, improving processes, or building something new — there is very likely money on the table.

You're attempting to resolve a technical uncertainty — not just applying known solutions
The work involves experimentation, testing, or iteration — even if it didn't succeed
Your engineers, scientists, or developers spend time on innovation, not just maintenance
You have qualifying wages, contractor costs, or supply expenses tied to R&D activities
The purpose is to develop or improve a product, process, software, or formula

Client voices

What our clients say

"

We had no idea how much of our development work qualified. Kulmina put together a complete, ready-to-file package in under three weeks. Our CPA said it was the cleanest claim documentation they'd ever received.

CFO · Software company, 60 employees

"

I was skeptical at first — we're a manufacturing business, not a lab. But Kulmina identified qualifying activities across three departments we hadn't considered. The estimate they gave us upfront was remarkably accurate.

Owner · Precision engineering firm

"

As a growing AgriTech company, we knew R&D credits existed but the process seemed overwhelming. Kulmina made it entirely manageable — they handled the documentation and handed us everything we needed to file.

Co-founder · AgriTech startup, Series A

"

The level of detail in our claim package gave us real confidence. Every line item was substantiated. Our CPA filed it without a single follow-up question — and that's exactly the standard we needed.

Finance Director · Healthcare technology company
