Building your career
and our business

ForrestBrown is the UK’s leading research and development (R&D) tax consultancy. We’re at the leading edge of the R&D tax landscape, working with policy-makers, our partners and clients to improve the incentive.

Our mission is to help innovative businesses use R&D tax relief strategically to fuel their long-term growth. Whether it’s hiring new talent or building something remarkable, we see first-hand the positive impact R&D tax relief can have on a business.

Our business growth teams are central to helping us achieve this. So, who are our business growth teams? The business growth team sits at the heart of ForrestBrown and encompasses marketing, partnerships and business development.
We use our experience and influence to challenge the status quo. More businesses than ever are accessing R&D tax relief, which is great news – but also presents its share of challenges. In a competitive marketplace it’s vital that we’re driving home the importance of claiming with an experienced, regulated adviser such as ForrestBrown.

As part of our business growth team, you’ll educate businesses about the benefits of R&D tax incentives used strategically in their business. There’s also an exciting role to play as a voice for positive change across the R&D tax incentive space. You’ll support our work with the government, partners and clients to both improve the incentive and champion higher professional standards.
Who makes up our
business growth teams?
Our [business growth] team is made up of three areas:
Business development
Our business development team is the driving force behind our business growth. Whether they’re seeking new opportunities in our focus sectors or building lasting commercial relationships with accountants and industry partners, all our client journeys begin here.

The role is all about collaboration – as part of our business development team, you’ll work closely with the marketing and partnerships teams to proactively generate new business leads.

Our business development teams are based across all three ForrestBrown sites, at our head office in Bristol, and our offices in London and Scotland.
Marketing
Our marketing team helps to position ForrestBrown as the best-in-class provider of R&D tax advice in the UK. The talented team is made up of writers and marketing professionals.

As part of our marketing team, you’ll deliver strategic campaigns to engage and inform our target audience. Not only demonstrating to businesses and their advisers the value of effectively claiming R&D tax relief with an expert adviser like ForrestBrown, but using our position to champion raising standards in the industry for the benefit of businesses and the wider economy.
Partnerships
Our partnerships team lead our strategic relationships with our most valued partners, from top UK accountancy firms to leading industry bodies from core R&D sectors. We build long-lasting relationships based on trust and expertise to help our partners’ clients and members realise the full potential of R&D tax relief.
