Welcome to ScaleUp Radio, the podcast that brings you insightful conversations with industry experts and successful entrepreneurs. I'm your host, Kevin Brent and today we have a special guest joining us.

In this episode, we're excited to have Adam Pearce, the director of Minerva Innovation Group, a financial services company specialising  in R&D funding and tax relief. Adam's expertise and unique approach have earned him recognition and success in the industry.

We uncover the valuable lessons Adam learned from his sports career and how they apply to business. Discover how companies are open to collaborating with boutique R&D tax agents and how word-of-mouth has fuelled Minerva Innovation Group's growth.

Stay tuned as Adam and I discuss Minerva's consultant-led approach to R&D tax claims, their high client retention rate, and their focus on work-life balance and productivity. We also explore the legacy Adam aims to leave behind and the effortless referrals his company attracts.
