TECHNICAL DELIVERY
Our consultants have a broad range of scientific and technological experience and qualifications. This enables us to speak to our clients in the same language - 'techie to techie'.

In this role you will be giving full autonomy to build exceptional working relationships with clients initially and throughout the contract term, deliver exceptional customer service, and retain their client base within certain business parameters. You will use your sector specific experience, knowledge of R&D tax relief and inquisitive nature to work with the client to gather business and project information and assure them that you are their trusted adviser and they are in good hands! In addition to getting into the thick of our clients innovative activities, you will also have a strong working knowledge of the legislation and HMRC guidance in regard to R&D activity to be in a position to critically assess clients projects and produce technical and financial documentation to accurately and concisely support the R&D tax relief claim.
Who we are looking for
We’re looking for a degree educated individual in the Software/IT field with 3 years’ experience of providing R&D tax relief services or industry equivalent. You will be able to demonstrate experience of successful report writing with a proven record of comfortably liaising with Managing Directors, Financial Directors, CEOs, and CTOs of such companies.
You will have a strong Excel numerical analysis and ability to interpret company Accounts. In addition to this, you will use your interpersonal skills to manage our customers’ expectations, be able to handle objections and have the ability to diplomatically say no in terms of eligibility.
You will be expected to retain your client base within certain targets and so it’s important that you hold solid contract negotiation skills and be commercially astute to identify suitability for other products and services.

What is it like to work at ABGI UK?
People working at ABGI UK share a set of values, emphasising how we do things in the business. We believe that values are essential to our success as a business and we put the values at the centre of everything that we do. You will find this refreshing!
“For me, the company lives and breathes a positivity that I have never experienced in any other work setting… and this comes through in everything – from the way we communicate to our clients right through to the way the weekly meetings are conducted. Ultimately, this makes coming into work an enjoyable experience! We all have down or off periods, but overall, ABGI is a great place to be in my opinion”
“As a TA, I think the aspects of the job that I like most are the variety of companies that we visit and also the enthusiasm that is expressed by some of the clients when you engage them about their work. Coming from a scientific, and mainly academic background, it’s great to go into a business and to be able to apply your knowledge in a different way! It's also really good to know that for the smaller clients, the work that we are doing will really be of significant benefit to the individuals we are meeting. So it’s really nice when they engage - because you really do feel that you are helping them find the best way through an obstacle course.”
“To be given responsibilities early on in the job was a real plus point for me, as it takes you out of your comfort zone and ultimately means you are always challenging yourself, which at my stage of my career is something I get very excited about!”
“Dynamic, varied, exciting, self-directing, fun!”
“I feel like I have developed a lot since the day I walked in the door. One of the things that attracted me to this job was variety and I've had great exposure to new things. I've have already met with managing directors of all types of companies, getting to understand the work they do.
My job is to talk to them about their projects, see the types of R&D; they are doing, learn about their failures and successes and explain to them how their work can qualify for government support. After the meeting I produce a report of our conversation, and then it's on to the next client.”
