About
SR&ED claim preparation for Canadian companies that did experimental work. A free written Verdict first, then a flat fee priced on the work, never on the size of your Claim.
Features
- Problem
- Companies may not know whether their work meets SR&ED criteria before committing to a consultant.
- How it works
- Provides a free written Verdict after a short form and a 30-minute qualifying call, stating whether a claim is likely and giving a size band, not a dollar promise.
- Result
- Companies get an initial go/no-go assessment before paying for claim preparation.
- Why
- The Verdict assesses technological uncertainty, systematic investigation, work performed in Canada, and a real expenditure base.
- Problem
- Teams can mistake difficult or time-consuming engineering for qualifying experimental work.
- How it works
- Uses paired project examples and explains which of the four tests determines whether each version may qualify.
- Result
- Teams can better recognize which work may merit a closer assessment.
- Why
- Comparing claimable and non-claimable versions clarifies that uncertainty, method, location, and expenditure matter—not effort alone.
- Problem
- Claim narratives can be difficult to reconstruct from memory, and dated evidence may be scattered across work tools.
- How it works
- With read access to a repository and issue tracker, rebuilds the experimental record from dated commits and tickets; otherwise, uses interviews and documents.
- Result
- The technical write-up can describe what was uncertain, tried, and learned with supporting evidence.
- Why
- A record made during the work is stronger support than recollection alone.
- Problem
- Companies and accountants need technical claim details and figures organized for filing.
- How it works
- Prepares the Narrative for Part 2 of T661 and a Fill sheet mapping each T661 line to its value and arithmetic.
- Result
- The accountant receives claim materials intended to be entered into their certified software and filed with the T2.
- Why
- The engineer writes the technical portion while the company’s own accountant remains responsible for filing the return.
- Problem
- A company may miss the filing window or spend more on consulting than its potential credit justifies.
- How it works
- Offers a fiscal-year deadline check and tells prospects when an expected credit below about $15,000 is unlikely to make consulting worthwhile.
- Result
- Companies can identify urgency and avoid an engagement that may not be good value.
- Why
- SR&ED claims have an 18-month deadline after the fiscal year ends, and a small expenditure base may produce a small credit.
- Problem
- A prepared claim may receive scrutiny from the CRA.
- How it works
- Provides technical response support for claims it prepared, with the first 10 hours included in the fee.
- Result
- Clients have assistance responding to a technical review.
- Why
- The claim preparer has context for the technical work and supporting narrative.
