Hi, I'm Jonny.
I started my career studying physics — which gave me a deep appreciation for how scientific and technical work actually happens. After graduating, I spent two years working as a software engineer, where I got to see first-hand the innovation, iteration, and uncertainty that goes into building software.
That experience changed how I think about R&D. When I moved into tax advisory and started specialising in R&D tax credits, I realised that most advisors were approaching it from the financial side only. I could approach it from both — which turned out to matter enormously.
Understanding what counts as genuine technological or scientific uncertainty, being able to read a technical narrative with a critical eye, knowing which questions to ask a CTO or lead engineer — these aren't skills you pick up from HMRC guidance notes. They come from time in the field.
Eight years on, I've worked across most industries, but my heart is firmly in computer and information sciences. If your team is pushing the boundaries of software, AI, hardware, or data — I'm probably the right advisor for you.
