About Cooden Tax Consulting

Our History

Cooden – R & D Tax Specialists, have been helping companies across the UK for a little over ten years to claim the most valuable tax relief that a Small to Medium-sized Entity (SME) can claim.

Before setting up Cooden – R & D Tax Specialists, I was (I still am) an accountant working first in practice and then in industry, I started helping a client back in 2005, when R&D Tax Relief was scarcely known and even less understood than it is today, to make a claim for some new equipment that they had developed that was supporting British Troops in Bosnia and then Afghanistan gain access to a guaranteed supply of potable water, whatever the conditions of the water supply.

After that I moved into Clinical Research as a Finance Manager and established the methodology for my employer’s company to prepare claims for R&D Tax Relief under the Large Company Scheme worth several millions of pounds in the UK, France and the Netherlands and then in 2012 I moved to a motorsport company and helped them to prepare claims worth several hundreds of thousands of pounds. I am now FCCA – a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants!

Cooden is five stars! Simon and his team stepped in to help our business with a complex R&D tax relief application. Simon’s attention to detail is second to none. His understanding of the nuances of tax law is impressive, and I’ve had the privilege of seeing his reporting first-hand. It’s not often you work with a team that exceeds your expectations, but Cooden has. I’m impressed and you will be too.
