The old way of doing SR&ED is broken
20–40 hours of your team's time
Engineers and founders pulled into repetitive interviews and document chases. Real R&D work stalls while the claim gets prepared.
Eligible work gets missed
Manual interviews months after the fact mean projects are forgotten and claims shrink. Smaller refund, every year.
25–30% contingency fees
Traditional firms keep a quarter of your refund — for work that’s mostly templated. You deserve more of what’s yours.
A consulting firm rebuilt around AI — and your time
AI document discovery
We connect to your existing tools (GitHub, Jira, Confluence, Linear, drives) and surface every project, ticket and commit that signals eligible R&D — so nothing eligible gets missed.
Voice-AI technical interviews
Our AI interviewer captures the technical narrative from your engineers in 20-minute sessions — at their convenience, not yours. Zero scheduling Tetris.
Senior consultant review & CRA defense
Every claim is reviewed and signed off by a senior SR&ED consultant. If CRA reviews or audits, we defend the full claim at no extra cost.
Built for every stage of SR&ED
Whether it's your first claim or your tenth, we adapt to where you are.

OPTIONAL ADD-ON
Need your SR&ED refund sooner? Bundle with growfi.ca financing.
Through our sister company Grow Financial (growfi.ca), GrowWise consulting clients can advance 75–100% of their projected refund in as little as 48 hours — non-dilutive, no equity, transparent terms. Most clients don’t need it; for those who do, the bundle is the fastest path from R&D spend to cash in the bank.
Your SR&ED questions, answered
SR&ED is confusing. Here are the questions we hear most.
Do I actually qualify for SR&ED? We're a software company, not a lab.
Yes — most software companies qualify. SR&ED rewards work that resolves a technical uncertainty — building something where the path forward isn’t obvious from the documentation, where your team had to experiment to figure it out. New algorithms, novel architectures, performance breakthroughs, integrating systems that weren’t designed to talk to each other — all routinely qualify. Our free eligibility call gives you a clear yes/no in 30 minutes.
How is GrowWise different from other SR&ED consultants?
Three things. (1) Senior consultants run your claim — supported by AI that surfaces eligible work from your existing tools (GitHub, Jira, drives) and conducts technical interviews on your engineers’ schedule. Result: under 5 hours of your team’s time vs. 20–40. (2) Lower contingency fee — under 20% vs. industry standard 25–30%. (3) Optional bundled financing through our sister company growfi.ca for clients who want their refund in 48 hours instead of 12+ months.
How much does it cost, and when do I pay?
Success-based fee under 20% of your approved refund. You pay nothing up front and nothing if CRA doesn’t pay. Audit defense is included at no extra cost.
How long does the process take, and how much of my team's time is required?
From kickoff to filing: typically 2–4 weeks. From your team: under 5 hours total — mostly short voice interviews with engineers, scheduled at their convenience. CRA refund timing depends on your fiscal year-end and CRA’s queue (typically 2–6 months after filing, or 48 hours if you bundle financing through growfi.ca).
What happens if CRA audits our claim?
We defend it at no additional cost. Our 98% audit accuracy comes from documenting eligibility as we build the claim — not scrambling after the fact. A senior consultant who knows your file leads the response from first inquiry to resolution.
