Ece Akser

I'm a Tax Partner specialising in Innovation and R&D incentives, which includes R&D Tax Incentives, Patent Box and Grants. As a specialist tax advisor, I've helped hundreds of businesses claim R&D tax relief since 2006 – this includes from start-ups through to large, multi-jurisdictional corporates. Clients come to me for practical, hands-on support that delivers real financial benefit.

I'm responsible for Manufacturing and Industrials, Life Sciences and Healthcare sectors within our Innovation and R&D Incentives team. Over the years my work has spanned sectors including (but not limited to) engineering, automotive, renewables, infrastructure, construction, life sciences, biotechnology, food and drink, electronics and oil and gas. I build close relationships with my clients to make sure they get the full picture on innovation incentives and their wider tax position.

What sets me apart is my technical background. I hold a MEng and PhD in Material Science and Engineering from Imperial College London and spent over five years as a Senior Scientist at Procter and Gamble. That experience gives me a genuine understanding of the R&D challenges companies face, which means I can identify qualifying activity that others might miss.
