About

A practical approach to the R&D Tax Incentive.
Link R&D Advisory is an independent specialist consultancy and Registered Tax Agent (R&D), founded by Harley Bell to bring a more personal, structured, and considered approach to the R&D Tax Incentive.

Link R&D Advisory is not part of an accounting firm, franchise, or outsourcing model. This independence allows a sole focus on helping innovative businesses make confident, compliant R&D claims without the competing priorities that come with larger or generalist practices.

Harley works directly with clients across the full claim process. That means engineers, developers, technical teams, and founders work consistently with the same person — someone who understands their business, communicates clearly, and brings both technical and financial depth to the engagement.

With over a decade of experience in R&D Tax Incentive consulting, registration as a Registered Tax Agent (R&D), and a background in chartered accounting and finance, Harley structures claims that align with legislation and reflect how development work actually occurs. Innovation rarely follows a textbook model, and the approach adapts accordingly.

While operating independently, Link R&D Advisory works alongside accountants, advisors, and other professionals where it serves the client — maintaining a collaborative, client-first approach throughout.

Some businesses need help building R&D processes from the ground up. Others need targeted support for a specific claim or an independent review of existing documentation. The engagement is shaped around what is actually needed.

The aim is not simply to process a claim — it is to ensure the work is understood, properly documented, and recognised for its full value.

Link R&D Advisory operates as a Registered Tax Agent (R&D). You can read the Code of Conduct and Compliance Commitment for more detail on how we work, and a clear guide to how the R&D Tax Incentive works is also available.
