No upfront costs. Pay only when CRA pays you.
Engineers and founders pulled into repetitive interviews and document chases. Real R&D work stalls while the claim gets prepared.
Manual interviews months after the fact mean projects are forgotten and claims shrink. Smaller refund, every year.
Traditional firms keep a quarter of your refund — for work that’s mostly templated. You deserve more of what’s yours.
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.
Our AI interviewer captures the technical narrative from your engineers in 20-minute sessions — at their convenience, not yours. Zero scheduling Tetris.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
