Tom Whitworth
R&D Incentives Director
I’m an ACCA-qualified accountant based in Sheffield, with a strong background in helping businesses benefit from innovation tax reliefs. Before joining the team, I was a Director at a South Yorkshire accountancy firm, where I helped establish and grow its Innovation Reliefs team.
As R&D Incentives Director, I work closely with innovative companies to ensure they receive the support and tax incentives available to them. My role involves helping clients maximise the benefits of schemes such as R&D tax relief and Patent Box, allowing them to continue investing in new technologies and pushing the boundaries of innovation.
What makes CARS great is…
For me, it’s the ambition. There’s a real drive across the team to keep growing and improving, which creates exciting opportunities for both our clients and our people. We’ve built a brilliant culture with a talented team, and being involved in developing and expanding service lines has shown me just how much opportunity there is to strengthen and expand what we offer.
On a Saturday morning, you’ll usually find me…
Most Saturday mornings start with getting ready to head to the football. If I can, I’ll also try to get outside for some fresh air and a walk. I’m lucky enough to live just a short drive from the Peak District, so it’s easy to make the most of the countryside when I get the chance.
