SR&ED & Technology Innovation Funding Specialists

Maximise SR&ED tax credits and non-dilutive funding for technology companies

Built by engineers and scientists who’ve done the R&D—from prototype to scale-up—then mastered government compliance to turn it into funding. When engineers write your application, government reviewers approve.

Why technical expertise changes everything

Traditional consultants treat funding like a form-fill exercise. That leaves money on the table because:

Uncertainty vs. routine isn’t framed in CRA terms

Template narratives miss what made your work experimental

Evidence is retroactive, not contemporaneous

Single-program thinking misses strategic combinations

We start with engineering depth, then build claims that stand up to review.

Who we help

From seed-stage startups to scale-ups and established enterprises

Technical fluency

We’ve designed spacecraft hardware, medical devices, advanced software, and manufacturing systems. We recognise eligibility others miss—and translate it for reviewers.

Education over dependency

We level up your team to capture eligible work in real time so claims improve year over year.

Defence-ready from day one

Engineer-written narratives + contemporaneous evidence; audit defence included. We manage 100% of correspondence until approval.

SmartKit™ documentation

Guided, CRA-aligned capture of uncertainties, hypotheses, tests, and results—as work happens—kept current with policy updates.

Our services

SR&ED tax credits (core)

End-to-end delivery: engineer-written technical narratives, collaboration with your accountants for financials, submission, and full audit defence until approval.

Typical outcome: clients recover substantially more than generic filings; repeat years improve as documentation matures.

Technology funding (beyond SR&ED)

Roadmaps and applications for targeted programs—sequenced to your tech roadmap and integrated with SR&ED for larger total stacks. Programs include IRAP, Scale AI, NGen, SIF, CanExport Innovation, and sectoral/provincial grants.

Typical outcome: clients recover substantially more than generic filings; repeat years improve as documentation matures.

How we work (4 steps)

Typical delivery: submission in 3–6 weeks from kickoff; decision timing varies by program and complexity (details on each program page).

Your total involvement: ~8–24 hours across the engagement.

1

Discovery (engineer-led)

Map your R&D, surface eligible work, and outline a multi-year funding plan.
 

2

Build

Short technical interviews; we mine code/tickets/notes, draft the technical narrative, and review/compile financial schedules with your accountants.

3

Review & submit

You review a plain-language summary; we finalise, submit, and provide confirmation/tracking.
 

4

Defence & ongoing

We handle 100% of government correspondence and technical defence. SmartKit™ strengthens evidence capture for next year.
