In 2020, Josh Lumley, a seasoned R&D Manager and CFO with over 12 years of hands-on experience, founded prmpt. with a bold vision: to transform how Australian businesses approach the R&D Tax Incentive. Having witnessed the struggles many founders, directors, R&D Managers, CFOs, and CEOs faced when navigating R&D compliance, documentation, and expenditure apportionment, Josh knew there had to be a better way.
For years, the R&D Tax Incentive carried a stigma of complexity – a daunting, year-end task that consumed weeks of valuable time and resources. Josh believed this process didn’t have to be so cumbersome. His goal was to break that stigma by creating a system that simplified the process, enabling businesses to focus on their innovation without being bogged down by administrative hurdles.
Josh’s expertise was born out of firsthand experience in Research & Development, spanning industries from eCommerce and software to large-scale technology products and prototypes, particularly in the transport industry. During his tenure, he not only navigated the challenges of managing R&D internally but also worked alongside some of Australia’s largest R&D consulting firms. Through these experiences, he gained invaluable insights into best practices for structuring R&D applications, ensuring compliance, and accurately representing companies’ investments in innovation.
In June 2020, Josh decided to turn his vision into reality. Drawing on his extensive knowledge and industry experience, he launched prmpt, hitting the ground running. The company quickly onboarded a diverse range of clients, empowering them to access the R&D Tax Incentive with confidence and clarity. Many of those early clients remain with prmpt. today, a testament to the trust and value the company delivers.
As prmpt. grew, so did its commitment to innovation. Recognising the need for a more proactive approach, the company introduced a monthly R&D consulting model, eliminating the year-end scramble and creating a seamless, ongoing process for clients. This model allowed businesses to capture their R&D activities in real-time, ensuring compliance, maximising claims, and saving countless hours for their teams.
To support this innovative approach, prmpt. began hiring experienced R&D consultants from a variety of industries and sectors. This diverse team brought new perspectives and expertise, enabling the company to provide tailored solutions to clients across Australia.
Today, prmpt. continues to build on its mission of simplifying the R&D process. With cutting-edge systems, client-focused processes, and a relentless drive to deliver tangible financial results, prmpt. has become a trusted partner for businesses looking to turn their ideas into commercial success.
The story of prmpt. is one of passion, innovation, and a commitment to excellence, values that continue to guide the company as it helps Australian businesses unlock their full potential.

The Research & Development (R&D) Tax Incentive is Australia’s single largest government incentive. Australian companies creating new and novel products or services can utilise R&D to claim back a proportion of their eligible expenditure as a cash refund or tax offset, including costs associated with R&D applications and efforts to secure R and D grants in Australia.
With a comprehensive strategy and the correct execution, the R&D Tax Incentive can provide cash flow and support to grow innovation within your company.
Hypothetical Example <$20 million annual turnover
If your annual turnover is less than $20 million, you’re eligible to claim 43.5% on R&D expenditure as a cash refund.
Hypothetical Example >$20 million annual turnover
If your annual turnover is greater than $20 million, you’re eligible to claim 38.5% on R&D expenditure as a tax offset.
Our R&D Tax Refund Calculator helps you estimate your potential R&D tax refund based on your company’s turnover and R&D expenditure, including costs related to R&D applications and R and D grants Australia. It provides a clearer picture of what financial benefits you might expect.
Not every business qualifies. Eligibility is determined by various factors, including the nature of your operations and the kind of research and innovation you’re undertaking. To easily check if you qualify, you can use our Eligibility Test.
It varies depending on your business needs. However, with prmpt., we typically engage in regular consultations, either fortnightly or monthly, to ensure a smooth process and that no R&D opportunity is missed.
Whilst R&D is a self-assessed program, it is not guaranteed from an audit/review by AusIndustry. Our job is to ensure your R&D application is eligible, that all costs are captured/maximised and that you have the supporting documentation to substantiate your claim.
Absolutely! Our consultants are always on the lookout for new grants suitable for your company. As these become available, we offer advice, application assistance, and management services in addition to R&D consulting.
Depending on how quickly we can obtain all the required information from yourself and your team, an R&D application can be processed by us in 2-3 weeks. Then allow for an additional 1-2 weeks for the R&D refund/offset to be issued by the ATO.
As every client and their business is different in terms of size, requirements and work involved, our proposals are tailored to each client’s individual needs. Depending on if it is just an R&D application, government grant or both we can discuss fees for our services and a model that best suits your business.

To get started, take our eligibility test.
We engaged prmpt to help our business with the EMDG and we have been so happy with Josh and the team. Josh made the process seamless and was always available to talk if we needed help. Grant applications are time consuming and confusing, being a start up with minimal time and resources it was a god send. I would happily recommend Josh and the team to anyone looking for help in this area and we look forward to a long relationship with the prmpt team while we scale into international markets.
Prmpt team like their name are extremely prompt and agile in their approach to their tasks and projects. It was fantastic working with Joshua and his energetic team for our R&D Claim assignment. Appreciate the hard work and timely assistance. All the best!
prmpt. are an outstanding company to work with. They simplify the R&D process and ensure an organisation is compliant in their application. Josh is a great communicator, has a very diligent and detailed approach to ensuring a positive outcome for the client. Nothing is too much trouble for Josh and he was readily available out of hours due to some of the team being overseas at the time of application. There are many firms out there but prmpt are one of the best and I would wholeheartedly recommend them.
I cannot begin to describe how great our dealings with Josh were. We operate a SaaS startup and from start to finish, Josh and team went over and beyond with everything. The guys are extremely knowledgeable, keep up to date with updates within the R&D sector, are extremely technical and at all times maintained a very high level of professionalism. Josh was always a quick phone call away, was always quick to respond to emails and phone calls and Lucas went over and beyond to help us with our record keeping. We had used other R&D consultants in previous years however left them due to their poor communication and attentiveness and speed. We are so glad we met Josh and Prmpt and will continue to use them each year, highly recommend.
The team at prmpt. have been great to deal with. Worked hard to achieve a result for a client with a short timeframe and exceeded all expectations in terms of service and advice. Will be working with Josh and the team on any R&D projects we have in the future.
As a first-time customer of Josh & his team I have found them to be extremely professional, knowledgeable & efficient. In addition, they are personable and easy to work with thus making the entire claim process seamless. I have no hesitation in giving them a 5-star rating.
