About Us

prmpt. is a specialist R&D; Tax Incentive and government incentives advisory firm based on the Gold Coast, Queensland. We partner with ambitious, innovative businesses across manufacturing, agritech, software, biotech, medtech, large-scale technologies and beyond. We help clients access the R&D; Tax Incentive, EMDG and other government programs through a proven, year-round consultation methodology that erases the traditional stigma of R&D; being a complicated, end-of-financial-year scramble.

We're a business of people and culture first. We invest heavily in our team's professional and personal development, and we look long-term. We want the people who join us to have a real, mapped-out future here. We're in an active growth phase with ambitious revenue targets, which means a genuine opportunity for the right person to grow with us, not just fill a seat.
