Sasmithaa Manickam
R&D Consultant

  • "Kotuku made light work of the daunting tasks of Research & Development Tax Incentives & Tax Loss Credits for us. They were passionate, knowledgeable, and worked at pace to put together a cohesive application that made sense to IRD."

    Dave Rouse, CEO & Founder, carbonClick

  • "Kotuku have been hugely successful for several of my clients as they realised that there was a massive gap in most accountants understanding of grants & reimbursements that many tech companies were eligible for. "

    Shona Grundy, Mentor & Fractional COO

  • "Kotuku have been enormously helpful and supportive in a range of ways. We were missing out on significant rebates for R&D spend we were entitled to, while Kotuku were able to fast-track an application efficiently & effectively."

    Johnny Davison, Founder & CEO, Hitrak

  • "I have now completed my assessment, thank you for providing so much detail. It made my job as an assessor much easier, and I appreciate the effort that you have put into this response. Good luck with your R&D project."

    R&D Specialist, Callaghan Innovation

  • "Navigating R&D Tax Credit & Incentives can be complex, and there's no room for error. Thanks to Kotuku, the entire process was remarkably straight forward. I truly appreciate their meticulous attention to detail, ensuring nothing was overlooked."

    Christoph Kistler, CEO & Co-founder, Dataphyll

  • "The team have been awesome to deal with from the get go and delivered exceptional results, even with a testing case and a short time frame. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing R&D rebate services."

    Sean Thompson, Co-Founder & CEO, Vessel.

  • "Engaging Kotuku early in the process was a strategic move. We've found their expertise to be critical in shaping & optimizing our R&D rebate submissions. The personalised service is exceptional & they consistently go the extra mile."

    Cale Fraser, Co-Founder, Project Tempus

  • Working with Kotuku on our R&D credits was a game-changer. Their expertise & dedication were evident from the start & they moved swiftly to compile a clear & comprehensive application. The process was smooth & efficient all the way. "
