Our Tax Services

Eva Garland Consulting’s (EGC) tax team provides specialized tax preparation and planning for companies engaged in research and development (R&D). We help innovation-driven organizations navigate R&D tax credits, grant funding, and government compliance to maximize benefits while ensuring accurate, compliant filings. From SBIR/STTR awardees to investor-funded R&D companies, our experts deliver strategic, tailored guidance to optimize tax outcomes and support long-term growth.

R&D Tax Credit Strategy & Documentation

EGC helps clients identify, calculate, and substantiate eligible federal and state R&D tax credits. We take a comprehensive approach that aligns technical research activities, financial data, and grant‑funded work to ensure credits are maximized and defensible.

Federal, State, and Local Incentives

In addition to R&D tax credits, many jurisdictions offer incentives designed to support innovation and economic development. EGC helps clients identify and leverage these opportunities to complement their R&D investments.

Tax Compliance for Federal Awards and Contracts

Government funding introduces unique tax and reporting considerations. EGC provides guidance to ensure tax filings accurately reflect grant and contract activity while remaining compliant with applicable regulations.

Strategic Tax Planning for R&D‑Focused Companies

EGC works with clients to proactively plan for the tax implications of growth, funding events, and organizational changes.

“EGC has been a blessing for Mycologics not only for proposal preparation but also for grant management. It would be impossible to run and manage the company’s R&D activities as a solo founder with 2 federal grants and 1 state grant without their support. I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am!”
