About Mark Andrus

Sharing the gift of experienceAfter spending 56,493 professional hours on every aspect of the R&D credit, I left public accounting with one question…WHY?>Why is claiming the R&D credit so inefficient and expensive?>Why can’t the tax industry make meaningful improvements to the R&D credit process?>Why can’t R&D credit tasks be automated? These questions led me to SPRX.tax. If you interact with the R&D tax credit in any way, you’ll be interested to see the innovations SPRX.tax is bringing to market and learn how they can transform your R&D credit experience.You may be surprised to see how SPRX.tax has automated over 70% of the R&D credit tasks by training artificial intelligence models to replicate the decisions made by tax professionals. A.I. does more work in less time. That means reviewing more research documentation in less time, writing more project analysis memos in less time, assembling a more robust report in less time. A.I. helps taxpayers prepare an R&D credit claim in half the time and at half the cost.Over the past 28 years I have helped thousands of taxpayers compute and sustain R&D credits. I have influenced the federal regulations by drafting regulation examples of qualified research activities. I have training hundreds of professionals, spoken at many conferences and have appeared on TV and radio to discuss R&D credit topics.\' – a person who has a comprehensive and authoritative knowledge of, or skill.
