Q&A
Who does NuTech serve?+
Small and mid-sized companies that build things: manufacturers, software and technology, engineering and construction firms, food and beverage producers, and life sciences. The common thread is technical work happening in-house and an owner who wants senior-level attention rather than being handed to a junior associate.
Can a company qualify for an R&D credit without an R&D department?+
Yes — a company can qualify for the R&D tax credit even if it doesn't have a dedicated R&D department. The credit is based on the nature of activities and expenses, not on organizational labels or whether a separate R&D team exists.
When does fractional CFO support make sense?+
It can help when a growing company needs stronger forecasts, cash-flow visibility, performance reporting, or decision support but is not ready to hire a full-time finance leader.
Can NuTech work with our current CPA firm?+
Yes, R&D credit studies are a specialty most traditional CPA firms don't staff internally. NuTech does the study, delivers the documentation and calculations your CPA needs, and your existing firm keeps filing the return. Your primary relationship doesn't change.
What does proactive tax planning include?+
The scope depends on the owner and business, but the goal is to look ahead, identify choices before deadlines, reduce avoidable tax liability, and improve cash-flow planning.
What is NuTech’s approach?+
Lean, efficient, relationship-driven, and focused on delivering value that business owners can actually feel. The practice grows through results and referrals rather than paid marketing.
