We find what qualifies, write it up the way CRA expects, and file it — so your team gets back to building.
Drop in your numbers and get a live estimate of your combined federal and provincial credit — no call required.
Enter your details to reveal your estimated credit.
We review your codebase, tickets, and sprint history against CRA's technological-uncertainty test — free, no commitment.

SR&ED isn't just labs and lab coats. If your team hit a technical wall and worked through it systematically, it's likely eligible.
The branch you scrapped and the approach that didn't scale count for as much as the one that shipped — sometimes more.
Redesigning a system when the fix wasn't obvious from documentation or prior art is exactly what the program is built for.
Each pass at a hard problem — new data structure, new model, new protocol — is a data point in the claim, not just a commit.
Internal tooling and infrastructure work can qualify too, if it involved genuine technical uncertainty to resolve.
Novel architecture, performance at scale, ML systems, and platform work with no obvious answer in the docs.
New processes, materials, tooling, and prototypes iterated on the floor until they finally held up.
Devices, diagnostics, lab methods and bioprocess work where the outcome genuinely wasn't known up front.
Efficiency gains, new chemistries, storage and control systems developed through real experimentation.
Firmware, embedded systems and connected devices where integration and reliability were the real challenge.
Model development, novel training approaches and data pipelines built to solve problems off-the-shelf tools couldn't.
No. A Canadian-Controlled Private Corporation earns a refundable credit — CRA pays it out as cash even in a loss year. It's one of the few incentives that puts money back in the bank while you're still investing.
You generally have up to 18 months after your fiscal year-end to file a SR&ED claim for that year. If you've never claimed, there's often still an open year we can file for right now.
Nothing upfront. We're paid a share of what we actually recover for you, so our incentive is simply to get your claim right and maximized. If there's nothing to claim, you owe nothing.
A few focused conversations with your engineers. We do the heavy lifting — pulling the technical narrative out of your existing tickets, commits and sprint history.
Claims are sometimes selected for review — that's normal. We document every claim to CRA's standard and stay on the file to answer any follow-up, so a review is something we handle, not something you face alone.
Often, yes. What matters isn't whether it shipped — it's whether you faced technological uncertainty and worked through it systematically. The branches you scrapped along the way can count for just as much.
A 20-minute call tells you whether you qualify — before you commit to anything.
