Reconnais is a Melbourne, Australia - based consultancy specialising in assisting small and medium businesses (SMEs) and their accountants with the R&D Tax Incentive and related matters. We help SME and their accountants with understanding what is required to access funding incentives and how to go about describing and costing development work in the required format for AusIndustry and the ATO. We charge by the hour but if you prefer, we can charge a fixed fee. For small companies with claims more than say $150,000, our fees will normally be less than 10% of the PERMANENT tax benefit (and usually much less for substantially larger claims). Principal is Dr. Robert Cox, a chemist by training and now a registered tax practitioner.
