Scientific & Research Tax Credit (SR&ED)
Turning innovation into credits doesn’t have to feel impossible. Our SR&ED service makes claiming credits clear, efficient, and designed with founders in mind.
About Our Service
The SR&ED program is one of the most powerful ways for Canadian startups to access non-dilutive funding — yet many founders skip it because the process feels overwhelming, or because traditional firms make it slow and expensive. At ModernWave Tax, we do things differently. With years of Big 4 experience, AI tools that streamline our work, and a founder-first mindset, we make SR&ED accessible, efficient, and surprisingly stress-free. Our focus is simple: maximize your claim while keeping the process clear, collaborative, and cost-effective.
Proven expertise
Our in-house SR&ED lead spent years at a Big 4 firm, working on claims across software, product design, and process improvements. That means you get the depth of technical knowledge big companies pay for, delivered with the practicality and focus startups need.
Founder-friendly & Personalized Approach
SR&ED can feel like a maze of jargon and red tape. We cut through that with plain-language explanations, practical guidance, and a collaborative process that respects your time. You’ll always know what’s happening and why — no more “mystery box” claims.
AI-powered efficiency
We use AI behind the scenes to streamline documentation, improve accuracy, and reduce the time it takes to prepare a claim. You don’t have to learn a new platform or change your workflow, we handle the complexity, so you get faster results with less back-and-forth
Transparent pricing
Most firms charge contingency fees north of 20%, eating into the credits you’ve already earned. Our pricing is designed with founders in mind: clear, competitive, and affordable. You keep more of your refund while still getting expert support from a team that knows the program inside and out.
