About MJA

There is government funding available for your R&D and commercialisation activities

(In fact, your competitors are probably getting it)

Companies just like yours receive funding that runs from the hundreds of thousands of dollars into the millions every day.

They’re getting real funding help for their R&D work – meaning their new products can boast every new feature and the latest technologies, their services can sit on the bleeding edge, and their capital position is stronger than yours.

Some of them are even getting funding for climate change initiatives…imagine how competitive you could be if the government was picking up half of those costs!

But there are pitfalls along the way

As generous as each of the programs is, there are always limits as to what can be claimed and what applications you can make.

Sometimes these are more generous than you’d imagine.  Other times they don’t seem to make any sense at all.

And knowing the difference between the two can mean money in the bank or a government auditor on your doorstep.

We help you avoid the pitfalls

It’s our job to keep the auditor happy. For over 25 years we’ve been working with companies of all sizes and from all industries to identify and claim their entitlements from government.

We’ve developed specialised knowledge, methodologies and tools around the R&D tax concession, tax offsets and grants like Climate Ready that you just don’t find anywhere else. Our consultants are technologists and business specialists who are experts at forming partnerships – not just transactional relationships.

We’re on the front foot when it comes to dealing with contentious issues and we deliver clear understandable reports and results. After all, this is much more than just accounting….

We know the complex legislation, amendments and guidelines related to government programs inside out – we deal with them every day. We also write the commentary on the R&D tax incentive for CCH’s Federal Tax Reporter. We are respected authorities on and advocates for government support for innovation.

Most accountants don’t know this money is available or how to get it

Accounting and business advisory firms are busy just keeping their clients happy – dealing with the day-to-day transactions and reporting, and the occasional special request. They might even put in an R&D tax claim for one or two clients a year.

Their ‘once or twice a year’ is our ‘every day’

Every day our clients rely on us to keep our knowledge up to date and use it to serve them better.

And that’s what we do. Day in and day out we’re working on R&D tax claims and grant applications. And when you do something every day you get awfully good at it.

In fact, recent advice from the ATO reveals that it is accountancy firms that prepare fewer than five R&D tax claims each year that have the highest error rates – that’s surely a reason to be careful and ensure you’re getting the best service you can.
