Help your clients find the right R&D tax specialist with confidence.
Whether you are an accountant, corporate finance adviser, VC fund, private equity investor, trade association or other trusted adviser, Tenderfy provides a structured way to connect clients with verified R&D tax specialists. Instead of relying on personal contacts or internet searches, your clients complete one confidential tender and receive up to three tailored proposals from specialists matched to their sector, requirements and preferred engagement model.
Recommending an R&D tax specialist reflects on you.
Many professional advisers still recommend R&D tax specialists based on historic relationships or personal contacts rather than any objective assessment of current quality. What worked five years ago may not be the right introduction today.
Firms' websites and marketing materials rarely reveal the true quality of their work. And HMRC scrutiny of R&D tax claims has increased sharply — the cost of introducing the wrong specialist has gone up, even when you are only the introducer.
Your recommendation reflects on your reputation. If the specialist your client appointed inflates a claim or receives an HMRC enquiry, the client remembers who made the introduction — even if you were never involved in the technical work.
A structured referral process, not a personal introduction.
Business Challenge
Assessing quality quickly
No practical way to vet an R&D tax adviser you haven't worked with. Websites look the same; quality varies.
Fear of the wrong introduction
A poor referral doesn't just harm the client — it damages your relationship with them. Aggressive claims attract HMRC enquiries that follow both parties.
Limited post-referral visibility
Once you've made a referral, you're blind. You don't know the methodology, the outcome or the fees.
Commercial conflicts
Referral arrangements with paid kickbacks compromise the independence of your recommendation. Sophisticated clients spot them.
Our Solution
Verified supplier network
Every specialist passes structured onboarding covering identity, professional standing, AML and business validation.
Matched proposals, not single referrals
Your client receives up to three proposals from vetted specialists matched to their sector, claim size and delivery preferences.
Transparent tender lifecycle
As a registered partner, you can receive updates on the procurement outcome without being involved in delivery.
Independent, no preferred panel
Tenderfy doesn't operate a preferred supplier list and doesn't pay referral fees to affiliate partners.
Benefit
Recommend the platform, not the firm
Your introduction points to a documented vetting process, not a specific firm you happen to know.
Better-informed decisions
The client makes a considered comparison instead of trusting a single introduction. You're not the one carrying the risk.
Stay informed without ownership
You know what happened — you just don't own the outcome or the professional responsibility.
Objective recommendations
Your recommendation remains defensible — the only kind that holds up to client scrutiny long-term.
