We hired Pinnacle in 1999 on recommendation of Hauser Industries. Pinnacle worked with our team and our external accountants to prepare, file and defend our SR&ED claims making the process seamless and trouble free for us allowing us to focus in expanding our own product line and business. We are pleased with the results from our SR&ED program with Pinnacle and would highly recommend Pinnacle to any company.

Pinnacle came in, went through all our project files and expenses and, with very little effort on my part, increased the SR&ED claim by 300% by identifying all the projects and costs that qualified. They then guided us through the review process and our claim was approved.

We heard about Pinnacle from a colleague in our business who raved about their services. They filed the SR&ED claim with very little disruption to our operation and we were very impressed with the final report and amount. When the CRA Science Reviewer came in and reviewed the file they commented that our consultants had done an outstanding job and that it was obvious we understood the SR&ED program. The financial review was also very professional and we received our approval letter within 6 months of filing.

We were introduced to Pinnacle by one of our long-term employees. We had previously thought of SR&ED, and consulted with our external auditors who felt that we were not conducting SR&ED and would not qualify. We agreed to meet with Pinnacle, and brought them in for a meeting and were impressed by their scope of knowledge of the program. They confirmed that not only people with a Ph.D. or white lab coats qualify, but that the Experimental Development takes place on the plant floor. We run a manufacturing process with a multitude of challenges, and we were pleased that they felt we would qualify for the program. We have been successfully filing since 1999, and have referred Pinnacle to all our affiliated companies, suppliers and business associates to them.

We are pleased with our relationship with Pinnacle and value their support in ensuring the success of our company. Hauser Industries and its affiliated companies have successfully filed claims both in Canada, and the USA by working with Pinnacle.

We were introduced to Pinnacle in 2001 by our accountants at the time, Collins Barrow and we have continued to use Pinnacle’s SRED services for the last 17 years! They have been invaluable in helping us obtain our annual tax credits. The Pinnacle team has also been helpful in brainstorming business ideas, and we feel free to approach them. We have also been using Pinnacle for all our affiliated businesses, and have been very pleased with the service, effort and outcomes from the team.
We would highly recommend the Pinnacle team to any business for SRED services, or looking for funding, or expansion.
