Most accountants will routinely fill out a SR&ED tax form if you ask them to. But there may be a +100% difference between your accountant’s claim and a SR&ED Engineer’s claim. And that’s because a SR&ED tax claim is roughly 15% accounting, and 85% technical.
Your accountant knows you and your business very well, but he/she does not have an engineering degree. SR&ED Engineering specialists have an engineering background and specialize in writing SR&ED claims.
Where an accountant sees a chair, a SR&ED Engineer sees 10 components inside the chair, as well as all the processes and materials behind those components. They uncover technical procedures others might miss. That translates into a larger cheque or tax credit for you, and if you want to maximize your claim, you’ll need that technical edge.
