Get the credit you're already owed.
You probably already know, but the Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) credit is the largest source of R&D funding in Canada. Most growing companies qualify. Few claim the full amount. We pull out every dollar that's yours.
Refundable up to 35 percent on the first CAD 3M of eligible spend for a Canadian-controlled private corporation.
The government refunds part of what you spend on R&D. Most companies miss it.
Building software no one else has built. Prototyping hardware. Running engineering experiments. If your team is solving a technical problem with an uncertain outcome, the work is likely eligible.
The catch: the claim requires a precise technical narrative, careful cost tracking, and documents the CRA actually accepts. That's the part most teams get wrong, and the part we do best.
See if you qualify →Four kinds of work the CRA pays you back for.
If your team is solving a technical problem with no obvious answer, you are probably doing SR&ED. Even when the project fails, the work still counts.
Custom software development
Building features no off-the-shelf product solves. New algorithms, performance breakthroughs, scaling problems with no obvious answer.
Hardware and firmware
Prototyping new devices, sensors, or embedded systems. Bench tests, calibration rigs, board respins to chase a technical target.
Process and manufacturing
Improving a production line, materials science, or industrial control loops in ways no published recipe covers.
Engineering experiments
Structured trial-and-error to test a hypothesis with an uncertain outcome. Failed paths qualify too, if documented well.
Routine work doesn't qualify. Standard CRUD, vendor integrations without technical uncertainty, and ordinary bug fixes are out. We'll tell you the difference before you spend on the claim.
A claim built across the year, not crammed at the deadline.
Capture eligible work the week it happens and the claim almost writes itself. That's the rhythm we run with every SR&ED client.
- 01
Project capture
We identify eligible work as it happens, not at year-end. Engineers spend 15 minutes a month, not a frantic week in February.
- 02
Technical narrative
We draft the engineering write-ups and project descriptions the CRA actually wants to read. You review and approve, no rewriting.
- 03
Costing and forms
We attach hours, salaries, contractor fees, and materials. The T661, the T2 SCH 31, the provincial schedules — all built, tied to the books.
- 04
File and defend
We file with your T2 and stand behind the claim. If the CRA asks follow-up questions or schedules a review, we respond, not you.
Exactly how we solve the problems keeping you up at night.
Growth almost killed us, twice. We had a million dollars in invoices that weren't coming in, and the Numinor CFO team showed up with strategies. A year later, our consultants are booking 20 percent more revenue.
Numinor helped us close our last round. They built the data room that closed the financing. The biggest reason I'd recommend them: I spend less time in the business and more time on the business.
Four weeks between incorporation and our first close. Our investors keep asking why our books are always on time and so easy to pull. The answer is: that's just how Numinor works.
SR&ED questions, plainly answered.
Have one we have not covered? Email the team and we will come back within a business day.
Probably not. Pre-revenue startups are some of the most successful SR&ED claimants because the refund is in cash, not just a tax offset. If you spent on engineers in 2025, there's likely a claim to make.
Flat fee on scoped engagements. We give you the quote up front, after a short call to size the likely claim. No contingency, no surprise invoices once the refund lands.
Yes, within the 18-month window after your fiscal year-end. If you've left money on the table in the last two years, there's still time. We scope it as a one-time project.
We respond on your behalf, with the working papers and technical write-ups already in place. The CRA reviewer talks to us, not to your engineers. We stand behind every claim we file.
Refunds typically arrive eight to twelve weeks after filing if there's no review, and three to six months if there is. We file as soon as your year-end is closed to start the clock as early as possible.
