Customer testimonial

 

Can you introduce yourself?

Mews Partners is a management consulting firm with just over 30 years' experience, founded in 1992. We operate across the entire industrial value chain. With a presence in France, we employ just over 200 people and are forecasting sales of around 50 million by 2023. I joined the firm to support the founder, Michel Morino, who was in charge of R&D and financial dossiers.

How did you hear about G.A.C. Group?

In 2012, our objective was to recover the Research Tax Credit (CIR) for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. We succeeded in catching up for these years, and were able to recover the value of subsequent years effectively.

What are the benefits of working with G.A.C. Group?

The first benefit of our collaboration is continuity: having the same contact person for over ten years saves us time and avoids having to re-explain our operating methods. We've put in place efficient processes that work well. Responsiveness is also a major asset: we know we'll get quick answers to our questions, which means we can move forward without getting stuck. And if we need to justify something to the tax authorities, we receive the appropriate documents and templates. Thanks to G.A.C. Group, we've been able to identify and enhance the value of our projects, which has enabled us to maintain consistency. The real benefit of our support is that what we pass on as CIR is validated, as demonstrated by the tax audit we had a few years ago. G.A.C. Group's support was able to justify the validity of the work carried out, leading to a very low tax recovery compared with the volume involved, proving the reality of the issues validated together. We are very pleased with the results and the support provided by G.A.C. Group.
