French research tax credit (CIR) firms
For innovation funding advisors: a dated trail of R&D work built during the fiscal year, not during the audit.

The supporting file is built all year long
Why the proof is always missing at the wrong moment.
An R&D tax credit file is defended on facts: work, contributors, dates and interim results. In practice, these elements are often reconstructed after year-end from the teams' memory and from documents whose date still has to be established.
The day an audit focuses precisely on the prior existence and reality of the work, that reconstruction becomes fragile. A file can be modified, a document dated after the fact, a report written the moment it becomes useful.
Timestamping interim deliverables as the fiscal year unfolds strengthens the file. Every note, every set of results and every prototype version carries a verifiable date, including when your client makes the deposit.
For the firm
What you bring to your clients
A quick habit to set up on their end, one more piece in your files, a clear differentiator.
A light discipline
A certificate takes a few seconds and can be automated. Your clients keep working the way they do. The trail builds itself in the background, project by project.
A file structured by fiscal year
Deposits are organized by R&D project and by period, matching exactly the structure of your supporting file. The export follows the same structure.
Who did what
Contributions are linked to individual contributors, in-house researchers, CIFRE PhD students, approved subcontractors. It's one of the first questions asked in an audit.
Value that goes beyond the R&D tax credit
The same documentation supports know-how protection, negotiations with an industrial partner, and company valuation. You broaden your support within your current offering.

An honest caveat
A certificate documents a date and integrity. Your expertise assesses the work's eligibility for the scheme. The proof makes that assessment harder to contest.
