All we do is tax.
INSPIRED is Northern Ireland’s only professional services firm with a single focus on tax advisory.
How we can help your business grow?
INSPIRED offers a breadth of tax services including corporation tax compliance and tax advisory assignments such as corporate restructuring and succession planning.
We pride ourselves on our strong client relationships which are at the core of our approach. By spending time with our clients we’re able to develop a deeper understanding of their businesses and provide them with pro-active tax advice in real-time. We don’t see tax as a seasonal relationship based on tax return deadlines, but are in contact with our clients all year round. Without hourly charges, our clients feel comfortable reaching out whenever needed.

Case Studies.
Our clients say it best.
“We engaged INSPIRED to provide Capital Allowances advice. The team were able to extract substantial tax savings for us on assets which had been treated previously as non-qualifying. I would highly recommend their Capital Allowances service and in the future, INSPIRED will be our go-to provider for tax incentives.”
Paul McCann, Director FP McCann
"I found the entire experience of working with the INSPIRED team to be very pleasant and rewarding. The team greatly simplified the R&D Tax credits claim and significantly reduced the amount of time and effort that we had to contribute to the process."
Prof. Fergal McCaffery | Chief Science Officer, StatSports
"The process of claiming R&D tax credits with INSPIRED was very efficient. I felt their team really understood our business which helped express our innovation in their report and to maximise our claim."
David Ramsey | Finance Director, Lagan Specialist Contracting Group
"INSPIRED have both tax and industry specialists in house which meant great added value for our claim. They understand their clients’ businesses and their needs and worked closely with us to maximise our benefit under the R&D scheme."
Mark Currie | Managing Director, Forrme Construction
"The team at INSPIRED were able to effectively maximise the Capital Allowances available on both the new build and refurbishment works programmes undertaken at our award winning hotel facilities."
Tiarnán O’Neill | Galgorm
"It’s vital we get as much reliable advice and support as possible with regards to our R&D claims, as any benefit we receive is directly re-invested. You would go to your GP for a check-up, but you would go to an expert surgeon for heart surgery. We wanted to get the most out of our R&D claim, therefore we wanted to work with a team whose expertise is tax incentives. The team at INSPIRED have years of experience in tax incentives and industry experts which we found invaluable. With Inspired I feel we have had hassle-free experiences when submitting R&D claims. We also value the fact that Inspired collaborate well with our team which allows for a streamlined claim process.”
Michael Roddy Managing Director, SigmaRoc
"From the word “go”, the team at INSPIRED were keen to understand our industry, business and operations in detail and worked closely with myself, the product development teams and manufacturing teams to gain this understanding. As a result, the detailed knowledge and strong relationships underpinned a significant tax saving for the UK group through both the R&D and Patent Box tax incentives."
Graham Morton, International Tax Manager
"The team at INSPIRED are very easy to work with and are always on hand to assist with any questions or queries. Their efficiency in preparing our capital allowances claims on new buildings and existing properties was excellent."
Olivia McStay, Group Financial Controller
