Specialist R&D Tax Advice for Australian Innovators
Independent, technically rigorous support for R&D tax claims that must stand up to regulatory scrutiny.
Our Services
Novadium Advisory is a specialist R&D tax advisory firm helping Australian businesses and accounting practices navigate the Research & Development Tax Incentive with confidence. We bring technical depth, regulatory discipline, and a compliance-first mindset to complex and high‑risk claims so outcomes are defensible, not just optimistic.
We work with innovators who are doing real development work, and with accountants who want a safe pair of hands for their clients when R&D tax matters become complex.
R&D Tax Incentive
Specialist advice to help eligible Australian companies access the R&D Tax Incentive with confidence. We focus on correctly identifying eligible activities, aligning claims to legislative requirements, and ensuring positions are defensible under review or audit.
Audit & Review Support
Independent support for companies and accounting firms responding to reviews, audits, or information requests. We assist with technical explanations, documentation reconstruction, and regulator engagement to reduce risk and disruption.
Technical Eligibility & Documentation
Rigorous technical analysis and documentation to support R&D claims. This includes defining hypotheses, experimental activities, and new knowledge in a way that meets AusIndustry and ATO expectations and stands up to scrutiny.
Advisory for Accounting Firms
Specialist R&D tax support for accounting practices that do not offer R&D services in‑house. We work independently and non‑competitively, supporting your clients while preserving the primary advisory relationship.
Independent by Design
Specialist R&D Focus
We operate exclusively in the R&D Tax Incentive, bringing deep technical experience across engineering, software, manufacturing, life sciences, and other innovation‑driven sectors.
Technical & Regulatory Rigour
Our work is grounded in legislation, guidance, and established technical interpretation. Claims are prepared with audit defensibility in mind, not marketing outcomes.
Independent & Non‑Competitive
We work independently and do not compete with accounting firms for core tax or compliance services. When engaged through a referrer, the primary client relationship remains yours.
How we work
We apply a structured, technically rigorous approach to every engagement, with a clear focus on compliance, documentation quality, and audit defensibility.
We begin by understanding your business, your R&D activities, and the context in which the claim will be made. This includes an initial assessment of eligibility, risk areas, and the level of support required.
Assess
We define eligible activities, hypotheses, and technical objectives are clearly defined and aligned to legislative requirements and regulator guidance. Scope is agreed upfront to avoid ambiguity later in the process.
Define
We prepare robust technical documentation that clearly articulates the R&D undertaken, the new knowledge sought, and the experimental activities performed. Documentation is developed with review and audit scenarios in mind.
Document
We provide ongoing technical support through lodgement, review, or audit, including regulator engagement where required. Our focus is on clarity, consistency, and defensible positions.
