A Trusted Advisor Who's Been in the Room.
Ryan Foote
About Ryan
I'm Ryan Foote - CEO of RMF Strategic Advisors and VP of Client Partnerships at Sagemont Advisors.
Before specializing in tax credits and incentives, I spent years on the front lines at some of the world's most growth-driven companies like Indeed, Coursera, Udemy, and ADP. I understand what it takes to scale, what founders are up against, and how easy it is to not fully understand what credits and incentives you qualify for when you're heads-down building something.
That's exactly why I do this work. The R&D tax credit is one of the most powerful incentives available and most companies either don't know they qualify, or they leave money behind because the process feels complicated.
I make it simple. I'll walk you through what qualifies, what to expect, and what you stand to gain.
When I'm not working with clients, you'll find me on a golf course, in the gym, or exploring somewhere new.
The Sagemont Partnership
Backed by the Best in the Business.
My work is powered by Sagemont Advisors; a specialized tax credit firm with Big Four and Big Law pedigree, built to serve businesses like yours with precision and speed.
Every engagement follows a proven three-phase process:
Discovery → We identify your qualifying activities and costs — going back up to 3 years.
Documentation → We build a comprehensive study with technical narratives and detailed calculations, designed to hold up under IRS review.
Compliance → You walk away with audit-ready deliverables, complete peace of mind, and credits in hand.
You get the relationship and strategy through me.
You get the rigor and expertise through Sagemont.
That combination is what makes this work.
