A flat monthly fee for your entire R&D tax function, the year-round capture and the annual study included. No five-figure study invoice, and never a percentage of your credit.
Request a Complimentary AssessmentMost R&D firms charge 15–30% of your credit on contingency. But you did the research. You paid the salaries and the supplies. The credit is yours. Charging a percentage of it isn’t just expensive, it’s a model the IRS discourages under Circular 230, because paying someone a slice of your credit gives them a reason to inflate it, and the audit risk lands on you, not them.
We charge a flat monthly fee. Your credit stays 100% yours.
Priced on your size and complexity, never your credit. Every plan includes the annual study. Billed monthly.
Final monthly fee is confirmed after a short scoping conversation, based on your team size and project complexity. It is never based on the size of your credit.
Enter your estimated credit and see what a percentage-based firm would keep, versus what you keep with a flat monthly fee.
| Contingency firm | Traditional fixed study | Novaric | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you pay | 15–30% of your credit | $10,000–$50,000+ per year | from $500 / month, flat |
| Grows with your credit? | Yes — the bigger your credit, the more they take | No | No, ever |
| You keep of your credit | 70–85% | 100% | 100% |
| Year-round documentation | Rare | No — year-end only | Yes, monthly |
| Payment | From your credit | Large one-time invoice | Predictable monthly |
| IRS Circular 230 concern | Discouraged; inflation incentive | Preferred | Preferred — no incentive to inflate |
No. Never. You pay a flat monthly fee and keep 100% of your credit. You incurred the expenses; the credit is yours.
For anything but the smallest credits, yes, and unlike a percentage, your fee never grows just because your credit does. On a $75,000 credit, a 20% contingency firm keeps $15,000. Our flat fee is a fraction of that, and it holds steady as your credit grows.
Yes, that is the whole model. No five-figure study invoice landing at tax time. Just a predictable monthly fee that spreads the work across the year, the way it actually happens.
Yes. The year-round capture and the annual R&D credit study and Form 6765 package are all included in your monthly plan. There is no separate study fee.
Start with a complimentary assessment. A short conversation is usually enough to tell whether it is worth pursuing, at no cost and no obligation.
