Industry: Architecture & Design

Service Provided: R&D Tax Relief Consultancy

Vision Arch, a dynamic architectural practice led by Vivek, has been working with Bonham & Brook for over seven years. Having previously worked with a Top 20 accountancy firm, Vivek sought a more proactive and specialised partner to maximise their R&D tax relief opportunities.

The Challenge

Having faced challenges with consistency and momentum in the past, Vivek sought a partner who could bring steady progress, proactive communication, and a deep understanding of R&D in the architecture industry – especially in the complex and innovative world of facade design and engineering.

 

The Solution

Bonham & Brook provided a well-managed, end-to-end service:

  • Clear explanation and guidance through the R&D claim process
  • Sector-specific expertise to identify qualifying activities
  • Project-managed submissions with defined stakeholder roles

The result? A seamless experience that didn’t just meet expectations, it surpassed them.

 

“What made the difference was B&B’s persistence. They chased and followed up until things got done. That’s exactly what we needed.

 

Impact & Results

The qualifying R&D expenditure B&B identified and the subsequent financial refund from the claim, directly supported Vision Arch’s growth, providing capital to reinvest into the business.

quote-circle-icon

“The refund helped grow the business. Bonham & Brook got us far more than a Top 20 accountancy firm ever did.”

Vivek Thiyagarajah, Financial Director, Vision Arch

Why Bonham & Brook?

Bonham & Brook stood out for their deep industry knowledge, hands-on approach, and proven track record. The team’s persistence, attention to detail, and sector experience gave Vision Arch the confidence they were missing with other providers.

 

“If you’re on the fence, just do it. Their experience shows, and they make sure you get results.”

 

Working with Bonham & Brook

  • Ongoing Support: Regular touchpoints and early engagement on new projects
  • Clarity & Confidence: A clear process, minimal disruption, and expert hand- holding
  • Trusted Relationship: A long-standing partnership built on results and trust

 

“It’s not like I’d ever work with anyone else. The partnership with B&B just works.”

 

Looking Ahead

Vivek has worked with B&B for 7 years, and hasn’t looked back. He credits the team’s persistence as the backbone of the service

Bonham & Brook has a score of 4.8/5 on Trustpilot.
