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.

Strategic Tax Spotlights

“Working with EGC allows us to have an extremely knowledgeable team readily available to handle as much or as little as we require. PJ Donahue has guided us through some challenging tax situations, answering our questions, but more importantly, providing the advice we didn’t know to ask about. The tax team handles the here and now, while looking to the future and positioning us to grow. Our accounting team has structured our financial system for government compliance but also will do whatever we need from checking an entry to helping develop our policies and procedures. Working with EGC has been a pleasure and given us a sense of security in our operations, while providing the flexibility we need.”

“While there are many impressive aspects of EGC, let me focus on 2 here. First, the timeliness and availability of the team is essential. I have a lot of questions and feel free to reach out to the various members for input and guidance at any time. Second, and extremely critical for an early stage research company like ours, we appreciate the flexibility that EGC provides enabling us to take advantage of as little or as much customized help as we need and as our cash flow allow while we are growing. We are looking forward to a long and growing future partnership.”
