Ryan Tax Services

Ryan Tax Services, operating in Australia as the former TCF Services Pty Ltd, stands as a prominent R&D grant advisory firm with its headquarters in Sydney. The entity specialises in assisting Australian businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in navigating the complexities of government funding and tax incentives. Their core mission is to accelerate business growth by unlocking essential funds from various federal and state government departments and agencies.

Founded in 1991 as TCF Services, the firm built a strong reputation over three decades as a leading industry assistance consultant. This extensive history is marked by a significant achievement of delivering over $2 billion in government grants and tax incentive benefits to a diverse clientele across numerous industry sectors. Their services encompass an end-to-end offering, from initial grants assessment and management consulting to detailed claim preparation, compliance, and ongoing monitoring, ensuring clients maximise their eligible returns with efficiency.

In January 2021, TCF Services was acquired by Ryan, a global tax services and software provider, marking a pivotal moment in its evolution. This acquisition expanded Ryan's footprint in Australia and integrated TCF Services' specialised expertise into a broader international framework. As part of Ryan, the Australian team now benefits from global resources and enhanced capabilities in tax recovery and grant programs, allowing them to offer a more comprehensive suite of solutions to both existing and new clients.

A key differentiator for Ryan Tax Services, through its TCF legacy, is its unique R&D Tax prepayment service. This offering provides eligible R&D Tax Incentive claimants with the ability to secure upfront funding, utilising their projected R&D tax benefit as security for a loan. This facility is particularly beneficial for startups and companies requiring cash flow to reach their next R&D milestones without diluting equity. The team comprises qualified professionals with diverse backgrounds in computer sciences, law, biotech, agriculture, and accounting, enabling them to engage with projects at the necessary technical depth to ensure robust and defensible applications.
