Our firm
Innovation funding, with nothing left in the shadows
KeyPoint Subvention is the KeyPoint International division devoted to innovation funding schemes. We do not just hand you a form to fill in for a set amount. Because we are chartered accountants, we actively look for every lever that raises what your R&D work can return to you.
Our approach is simple: find everything you are entitled to, declare only what is solid, and document every euro so that it holds up under a tax audit.

Our method
From qualification to audit defence
Diagnosis & scoping
We identify the scope of your eligible projects and the claimable costs, together with your technical teams.
Scientific qualification
We check that your work meets the tax authority's criteria: state of the art, technical barrier, experimental approach.
Valuation & calculation
We collect the accounting data and calculate your claim, line by line.
Technical justification
We write the scientific and financial file that documents every declared cost.
Filing & follow-up
We prepare the forms, support the filing and track the refund until it reaches your account.
Audit assistance
We defend your file before the tax authority or the Ministry of Research experts.
Why us
Getting the most, by every available route, out of what your R&D can return
An innovation funding file is decided on two fronts: the technical description of the work, and the figures that carry it. We keep our clients' accounts and handle their tax, so we work both together, on the same figures. And when the tax authority pushes back, we defend the file.
Several disciplines, one team
The same team qualifies your work and secures how it is carried into the accounts.
Every lever looked for
We do not fill in a form for a set amount. We look for each scheme and each cost that raises your funding.
