Specialist R&D Tax Relief Expertise

For over ten years, Cooden – R&D Tax Credit Specialists have supported companies across the UK to claim one of the most valuable incentives available to small and medium-sized enterprises. R&D Tax Relief is often misunderstood, yet when prepared correctly it can release significant funds back into a business.

Simon Bulteel, an FCCA and Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, combines deep technical knowledge with real-world commercial understanding. His experience spans practice, industry, clinical research, and motorsport, giving him a rare ability to understand innovation from both a financial and operational perspective.

Proven Track Record Across Sectors

Simon’s involvement in R&D claims began in 2005, helping a client secure relief for equipment developed to provide guaranteed potable water supplies for British troops operating in challenging conditions overseas. From there, he went on to establish claim methodologies under the Large Company Scheme worth several millions of pounds across the UK, France, and the Netherlands.

Later, within the motorsport sector, he supported claims worth several hundreds of thousands of pounds. This breadth of experience means businesses benefit from structured, defensible, and fully compliant submissions to HMRC.
