Company

WhisperClaims is an award-winning fintech company that has helped small and medium sized accountants reclaim over £25m in tax for their clients. We launched in 2018 in response to demand from the accountancy sector for a software solution that simplifies the process of preparing R&D tax relief claims.

We now have a growing user base and a collaborative community. All of this growth and success necessitates quality software and digital products. We’re looking for a Software Developer who is not afraid to take on a task and drive it forward.

There will be other opportunities to work in different areas of development within the company as well as training and certification.
