Innovating is expensive, and many startups leave valuable tax credits on the table simply because they don’t know they qualify. This webinar is designed to help founders turn everyday innovation into real cash flow. 
 
Join John Quinci of RK Partners, who will walk you through how the R&D Tax Credit can put money back into your business by reducing payroll and income taxes, freeing up capital to reinvest in hiring, product development, and growth. Drawing on his experience working with early-stage companies, John will break down what actually qualifies, where startups commonly get tripped up, and how to move forward with confidence. 
 
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:
 
 • Determine whether your current work already qualifies for the R&D Tax Credit 
• Avoid common misconceptions that cause startups to overlook or underclaim credits 
• Identify eligible activities and expenses without adding unnecessary complexity 
• Use the credit to offset payroll and income taxes and improve cash flow 
• Build a documentation approach that supports compliance and scalability 
• Integrate tax incentives into your broader growth strategy 
 
By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with: 
 
• A clear sense of whether pursuing the R&D Tax Credit makes sense for your startup 
• Practical next steps to begin claiming or maximizing your credit 
• Greater confidence using tax strategy as a lever for innovation and growth
