Piers Pye-Watson

R&D Tax Manager // Nottingham

I joined PKF Smith Cooper in December 2022. I help companies identify whether they are eligible for R&D tax relief and if so, steer them through the process of claiming.

The R&D tax relief scheme can significantly help companies that are eligible. The criteria can be complex and getting it right is challenging. I aim to simplify this in terms relatable to what your company does and do some of the legwork, so you have more time for R&D.

Experience counts

I started working in tax in 2011 and have been specialising in R&D tax relief for over 6 years. In that time, I have loved learning about the technological innovations that businesses make across all industries.

Deeper knowledge

I have worked across all parts of the R&D services, including defending R&D tax relief claims when HMRC have raised enquiries.

Personally speaking

In my spare time I can be found running marathons or running in circles after my two young girls.
