Reading is the UK headquarters for Microsoft and Oracle, sitting alongside Cisco, Huawei, and thousands of other jobs across Thames Valley Park and Green Park, a 195 acre business park employing around 7,000 people. This concentration of global technology and pharmaceutical businesses, alongside offices from all four of the Big Four accounting firms, makes Reading one of the largest business economies we cover, similar in character to nearby Bracknell.
We support Reading businesses across R&D tax credits, corporation tax, and contractor accounting, matching a technology-heavy economy where research and development claims and complex company structures come up often.
Reading anchors the eastern end of the M4 technology corridor often described as Britain’s Silicon Valley. Microsoft and Oracle both run multi-building UK campuses in the town, and Green Park alone hosts around 7,000 workers across companies including Huawei and Cisco. This scale of technology and pharmaceutical activity supports a large ecosystem of smaller consultancies, contractors, and technology suppliers, many of whom qualify for R&D tax relief on genuine development work without realising it.
Our Reading client base reflects the town’s large technology and professional services economy.
We are ACCA regulated and understand the technology and research-driven businesses that anchor Reading’s economy. From R&D tax credit claims to standard corporation tax compliance, we work with Reading businesses at whatever scale they operate.
