Tax Credit

What Tax Credit does

Tax Credit Company is a privately held, specialized tax-credit and incentives consulting firm headquartered in Los Angeles, California, founded in 1999. The firm focuses on maximizing tax credits and incentives on behalf of clients ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, operating in a regulated, jurisdiction-heavy domain where federal, state, and local incentive regimes each carry distinct eligibility, documentation, and filing requirements. Its core offering is the identification, documentation, capture, and ongoing management of hiring and other tax credits that employers frequently underclaim, delivered through a high-touch advisory model rather than a packaged software product. The firm supplements its consulting work through alliances with HR, payroll, staffing, and benefits channels that surface and route credit-eligible workforce data into its engagement workflow.

The firm executes through a boutique operating model with a headcount of 51-100 employees and a defined executive team led by CEO Brandon Edwards, CFO John Redding, and CTO Steve Kowalski. Its scope of services extends across credit categories tied to hiring practices, workforce composition, geographic location, and sector-specific incentives, and is positioned to serve as the external subject-matter expert for organizations lacking in-house tax-incentive staffing capacity. Capabilities are reinforced by partner relationships across HR, payroll, staffing, and consulting channels that enable co-delivery and referral-based distribution.

Commercially, Tax Credit Company operates a business-to-business consulting model under which client engagements are typically structured as recurring annual relationships priced per employee or per engagement scope, with no publicly disclosed pricing or standard rate card. The firm remains privately held and self-funded through operating cash flow, having executed at least one inorganic growth move (the 2013 acquisition of Incentives Advisors) without reliance on disclosed external capital. The data set does not disclose specific revenue, customer logos, or named client wins for Tax Credit Company specifically, which constrains more granular benchmarking.
