Pricing

Radically simple. Radically fair.

Most R&DTI firms charge $5,000+ upfront or take 15-25% of your refund. We think that's excessive.

Your overflow PD writer who actually gets it

Deadline season shouldn't mean burnt-out staff or rushed PDs. I've written project descriptions across software, engineering, manufacturing, and biotech — and I can hit the ground running without hand-holding.

Let's talk capacity

I do both the PD writing and the expenditure analysis. One person, fewer gaps, faster delivery.

White-label ready

Everything delivered under your firm's brand. Your clients never know I exist.

🚀

No ramp-up needed

Send me the brief, I'll send you a draft. I know the AusIndustry framework inside out.

📈

Flexible engagement

Per-project, hourly, or a retainer block during peak season. Whatever works for your workflow.

Meet Kay

The person behind RDkit

With over 4 years of hands-on experience in R&D tax incentives, a technical degree, and real lab experience, I bring a rare combination to the table — I understand both the science and the numbers.

I started RDkit because too many founders doing genuinely innovative work were either priced out by big consulting firms or overwhelmed by the process. The R&DTI shouldn't be this hard — so I made it simple.

I also work with R&DTI firms who need reliable overflow capacity during peak season. If you need someone who can write a technically rigorous PD and prepare an expenditure schedule without constant supervision, let's talk.

FAQ

The stuff you're probably wondering

Do I need to be doing "science-y" stuff to qualify?
Nope. If you're building new software, developing new processes, engineering new products, or experimenting with new methods — and there's genuine technical uncertainty — you probably qualify. The R&DTI covers way more than lab coats and test tubes.
My accountant already does my tax. Why do I need you?
Your accountant is great at tax returns. But writing R&DTI project descriptions and calculating eligible R&D expenditure is specialist work. We prepare everything, then hand it to your accountant to lodge. We work with them, not instead of them.
How is 5% sustainable? What's the catch?
No catch. Low overheads, high efficiency. We'd rather work with 50 companies at 5% than 10 at 20%. It also means zero incentive to inflate your claim — your audit risk would skyrocket for barely any extra fee. We want you to sleep well.
What if I'm not eligible?
The initial quick check is free. If you go ahead with the deep dive and we determine you're not eligible, you've gained clarity and a clear understanding of what would need to change. We won't push you into a claim that doesn't stack up.
