What Clients Say About Acena Consulting
Why Choose Acena Consulting?
Working with the staff of Acena Consulting made the process way less painful, and very beneficial in the end. Their patience and knowledge of the R&D process was well worth the time that my staff put into the research. In the end, we were extremely surprised to get back a whole lot of taxes that we already paid.
Owner
Technology Company, Hawaii
The team at Acena has been great to work with and they've gone above & beyond to deliver great service. I had been solicited by an unknown company to do the R&D Tax Credit process but was nervous about the risk of it, so I asked our accountant for guidance. He referred us to Acena instead, and they really helped us throughout the entire process. I definitely recommend Acena!
Owner

The report at the end is professionally presented and provides the thoughtful documentation required to support the R&D tax credit deduction.
