The amount you spend to see how much you’re owed
of qualified small businesses don’t even apply (but should)

Testimonials
My primary work revolves around framing, so I was doubtful that the 'R&D' credits had any relevance for me, but was told there were a few other incentives I may also be eligible for, so I decided to apply. $70K+ later I found out the R&D credits are just poorly named and are very much intended for contractors of all types. Easy process, great experience, and I'm really glad I took a shot.

After speaking with the consultant, I asked my CPA to advise. My CPA knew that these credits existed, but didn't know they applied to my construction company. He advised me to pursue them after doing lots of extra homework, and I was thrilled with the results. I received over $80K in state and federal recovery checks shortly after filing with EnSo Group, Inc. Thank you for the extra cash! After speaking with the consultant, I asked my CPA to advise.

I had never heard of the R&D Credit and never thought that my work as a roofer would qualify as R&D type of work. I was referred to EnSo Group, Inc by a friend, gave them a shot, and recovered over $45K. I am very glad I did.

Zac was really helpful and very thorough throughout the entire process. I was very skeptical at first, as was my CPA, but he was there with me every step of the way and now that we have started receiving our checks from the IRS, we can't wait to claim our credits again next year with EnSo Group, Inc.

As a plumber, I had no idea the daily activities I engage in, as well as some of the tools and technology I invest in to run my business qualified for additional tax relief. I was able to reinvest the unexpected money I received back from the IRS into additional software that’s helped me streamline and automate further.

Testimonials
Honestly, when EnSo Group, Inc reached out to me I was thinking “what kind of new scam is this?” I only entertained the conversation because they told me there was no charge to find out if we qualified for these credits. I took my time, did my research and it turns out it is real and that wineries are very much eligible. We’ve been in business for almost 25 years. I wish we would have started doing this a long time ago.

I have a small practice and didn’t think this was going to be worth my time. I was told the entire process would take no longer than 30 minutes so I figured it was worth the free analysis. EnSo Group, Inc came through on their word and they were able to find me around $12K per year. Over $36K total. I have a small practice and didn’t think this was going to be worth my time.

To be frank, I was hesitant to move forward as I had never heard of R&D Credits. After doing my own research and speaking with one of EnSo Group, Inc consultants, I found that this is a real thing so I decided to see if I just qualified. Boy, was that the best decision I have ever made. I got back almost $90K in return checks. It's your money, get it back.

A friend of mine told me about this program so I reached out and I’m glad I did. I’ve been in practice for over 15 years and had never heard of these credits before. It’s been a huge ROI for very little of my time. I wish I knew about this sooner and I’m telling all my colleagues about it!

I always assumed my CPA would inform me of any tax breaks we could use for our practice. I had no idea there are specialty companies like EnSo Group, Inc to fill in the blanks that were being missed. Our practice was refunded over $60K just for doing our normal day-to-day dental work! Why am I just learning about this?! So thankful and appreciative EnSo Group, Inc reached out to us!

Testimonials
Our CPA looked into this years ago and told us it wasn't worth the cost. When EnSo Group, Inc presented a free assessment, I got curious to learn more. They handled everything except gathering some basic docs, and we found a significant overpayment from each of the last 3 years. It felt a little like finding thousands of dollars in an old pair of jeans. I'd highly recommend them to anyone in the manufacturing world.

At first, I thought this was some sort of COVID relief plan or something that needed to be paid back. When I found out the R&D credits were based on liabilities I overpaid in the past, I knew I had to make sure I was getting everything I could.

But true it was, so the purpose of this note is to thank EnSo Group, Inc for helping us redeem our credits. We are a staffing firm and we don't get many breaks when it comes to these sorts of things and we couldn't imagine that we'd qualify. Zac did a great job of explaining to us why these credits were created and that they have been around for almost 40 years. I figured we had nothing to lose so we signed up to take advantage of them. Staying competitive is the name of our game and this program helped me level the playing field with our competitors in neighboring states that have much lower operating costs. I know you don't want to be the best-kept secret, so I'd be delighted to be an advocate for you with other staffing firms in my circle of reciprocity and will be passing the word along to them about how great this program is. Thanks again.
Great experience! Easy process and not very time consuming to see if I qualified. Just submitted our latest years returns as well, and will do so each year. Great experience!

As an architect, I didn't think we were going to qualify for the R&D tax credits, however, EnSo Group, Inc did a great job explaining how many of my everyday activities are actually qualifying activities and expenses.

Even as a company who works with state and federal tax credits regularly, we never realized our design engineering and customer consultations qualified as R&D activities that could be recovered by our solar energy firm. This was a great surprise that we look forward to taking advantage of for years to come.

We are just a small service business with seven employees. Me and my accountant really didn’t think we would qualify so it probably wouldn’t be worth my time.
