EmpowerRD's mission is to demystify and democratise the R&D Claims process.
The UK government wants eligible companies to take advantage of the generous R&D tax reliefs on offer, however, this can be a complex and confusing area with around 60% of eligible businesses unaware of the opportunity.
In response, EmpowerRD is attempting to change the way R&D tax credit claims are done. It focuses on developing technologies that simplify and automate the application process as much as possible allowing accounting and financial managers to claim with confidence.
The company’s broader ambition is to support companies across the world to unlock all funding that rewards innovation. R&D credits in particular are common to 30+ countries.

We are a startup that genuinely encourages new ways of thinking and bringing your own style of work to succeed. There is enough structure so that you're never without something to do, but lots of autonomy in how you go about hitting targets and succeeding in the role.

The culture is truly driven from the bottom up at EmpowerRD. We all get on very well and so we're very supportive of each other. In sales there's a great level of competitiveness that drives us to do better, but never put others down to get ahead.

From when I started, the opportunities for progression were openly discussed. There is clear progression throughout sales and you know what you need to do to move onto Business Development. There is also the opportunity to progress and move into other parts of the business if this was something you wanted to do.

At EmpowerRD, ideas and suggestions are always welcomed. For example, if you have an idea of companies that you would like to prospect or if you want to suggest different methods of outreach, this is encouraged. Any suggestions will always be listened to and feedback will be given on this. There are also 'Ask Us Anything' sessions monthly where you can put forward any question or suggestion which is then directly answered by management.
