Business today leaves little time for exploring ideas that aren't part of the core

It's hard to keep across all of the developments and new information in your field, let alone sources of government funding that may be around. After all, that means dealing with bureaucrats and filling out government forms, and that means time away from your business, right?

And anyway, government funding isn't really available for what you do, is it?.

There is generous funding available for your development 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 a leg up on 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 early-stage commercialisation and renewable energy 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 the difference between money in the bank and a government auditor on your doorstep.

We help you avoid the pitfalls

It's our job to keep the auditor happy. For almost 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 Commercial Ready and REDI that you just don't find anywhere else. Our consultants are technologists and business specialists who are experts at forming partnerships - not just building 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 more than just accounting....

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-do-day transactions and reporting, and the occasional special request. They might even put in a 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.

Here's the easy way to get started:

Sign up for the MJ&A Update email newsletter to learn about the different types of funding available for your R&D and commercialisation projects, how to get on the front foot with your claims, and stay sane while doing it.

This website will take a little while to put the finishing touches on, but you'll get to see it soon :)
