Matt Cochran

I oversee the delivery of research and development tax credit services for a diverse portfolio of business clients, identifying and evaluating qualified R&D activities across a broad range of industries. I work directly with business owners, CFOs, controllers, engineers, project managers, and other technical personnel to understand their development processes and determine which activities and expenses may qualify for federal and state R&D tax incentives. That includes applying the four-part qualification test to individual business components, overseeing the calculation and documentation of qualified research expenditures, and reviewing credit studies to make sure the documentation supports each client’s tax position. I also advise clients on documentation practices, train consultants, and help grow the firm’s R&D tax credit practice.

Education: B.A., Economics & Political Science, Texas State University
