Maximize the value you bring to your clients with SGP
If your CPA firm has small business clients that are involved in developing new or improved products or technical capabilities, there is a good chance they are a candidate to claim a federal or state R&D tax credit.

By partnering with SGP, CPAs currently serving these businesses are not only able to offer their clients access to comprehensive R&D tax credit calculation services, but to a whole host of additional strategic and technical capabilities covering the full value chain of the product development and commercialization lifecycle as well.
Benefits:
- Offer your clients R&D Tax Credits
- Serve as a conduit to nearly any other technical or strategic resources they may need as they grow.

- We offer strong referral or fee sharing opportunities where permitted
