We’re ForrestBrown. You’ll find us in the list of Sunday Times 100 best small companies to work for. But what is it we actually do? The short answer is we’re a tax consultancy specialising in research and development (R&D) tax credits. The not-so-short answer is we are a fast-growing business that loves innovation and prides itself on its unique culture. ForrestBrown is home to all kinds of talented and passionate people, many of them from outside the professional tax world. We’re based in London, and Bristol - where we have our vibrant headquarters - and we were named best company to work for in the South West 2018.
We build brilliant relationships with clients in exciting industries – like aviation, technology, fashion and publishing – to provide high-quality R&D tax credit advice. By working closely with our clients we uncover extra funds for their businesses. That’s cash to put towards the next big project, or the final push in creating something remarkable.
We also do a lot behind the scenes. Our marketing professionals educate UK businesses on the value of R&D tax credits. Our sector specialists - in-house experts with years of experience in diverse industries – communicate technical projects. Our QA experts uphold our robust claim methodology, and our office management team provide the vital support that makes our business tick. Whichever team we’re in, each one of us plays a vital role in adding value to our clients.
We’ve doubled the size of our business and there are no signs of things slowing down. In just five years, we’ve won 15 awards for our work. The first thing people tend to notice about ForrestBrown is our unique culture. From marketeers to tax professionals, we all bring different skills. But what we do share is our desire to deliver outstanding results for our clients and have fun along the way.
So, whether we’re keeping fit on #WorkoutWednesday, catching up over a beer at our in-house bar, or developing new skills with the Learning Lab, it’s an environment we thrive in and are extremely proud of. Read our blog for 47 other things that make working at ForrestBrown special.
