You are here: Home Principal R&D Tax AdvisoryR&D Tax Incentive — Structured, Principal-Led Advisory
For companies seeking R&D Tax Incentive claims that can withstand ATO and DISR review.
Many R&D claims are prepared using standardised templates or junior-led models. This advisory approach is different. Each engagement is structured directly by a Registered R&D Tax Agent, with emphasis on technical integrity and financial alignment.
FY25 R&D registrations close 30 April 2026.
Independent R&D Tax Agent preparing structured technical reports and reconciled financial schedules for genuine experimental development.
This advisory service is designed for companies seeking a clear, defensible and well-documented R&D Tax Incentive claim. A service built for legislative alignment and long-term compliance.
Who this is for.
This advisory model is suited to companies:
Undertaking genuine experimental development. Annual R&D expenditure typically exceeding $200,000. Operating in engineering, manufacturing, software or applied technical fields. Seeking direct access to their advisor throughout the claim process. Wanting stronger documentation and improved audit readiness.
Accountants requiring specialist R&D technical and financial support.
How we work. Each engagement is led directly by Harley Bell, Perth-based Chartered Accountant and Registered Tax Agent (R&D). No outsourcing. No junior handover model.
The process is structured and deliberate:
Technical scoping and experimental framing. Development of clearly articulated core and supporting activities. Preparation of reconciled financial calculations aligned to the company tax return. Finalisation pack suitable for internal review and external scrutiny.
All work is performed with an emphasis on clarity, documentation integrity and legislative alignment.
Our positioning.
Link R&D Advisory operates differently from volume-based claims providers.
We do not offer automated or template-driven claims, and we do not pursue percentage-maximisation strategies detached from technical substance.
This advisory model is suited to businesses seeking long-term compliance and defensible positions, particularly those operating multi-year R&D programs with structured financial records.
Engagement structure.
Engagements are scoped according to the complexity and scale of the R&D program.
Most clients operate multi-year development programs requiring careful integration between technical documentation and financial reporting.
Initial structured review.
A focused 30-minute discussion to determine suitability, scope and whether this advisory model aligns with your R&D program.
If aligned, a clear engagement pathway is defined.
