Developing new technologies, improving processes, and investing in innovation are often essential to staying competitive and driving growth. Many businesses don’t know they have access to valuable funding opportunities, tax credits, and government incentives.

Navigating scientific research and experimental development (SR&ED) tax credits and government funding programs often require significant time, technical knowledge, and administrative effort. Our SR&ED advisors work alongside innovative businesses across Canada to identify opportunities, optimize claims, and access funding programs that support growth. Our team includes engineers, scientists, specialized accountants, and former CRA auditors who understand both the technical requirements of a claim and the review process that could follow.

Whether you're unsure about eligibility, pursuing funding, preparing a claim, or responding to a CRA review, we can help you maximize available incentives while reducing the burden on your organization.

"Many businesses are eligible for funding opportunities they may not realize exist. From emerging innovators to established organizations with ambitious plans, we can help you access the credits, grants and incentives to strengthen your position."
Christina Albert Partner, Tax

What is SR&ED?

The SR&ED program is the largest source of research and development funding in Canada supporting more than 19,000 claimants annually, and $4.5 billion in investment tax credits delivered in fiscal year 2024-25. That's more than $200,000 per claimant, on average, each year.  

The program helps businesses recover some of the costs of developing new products, improving processes, and overcoming technological challenges. Industries that often qualify include IT, manufacturing, construction, medical, pharmaceutical, and agriculture.
