PCI A RECOGNIZED LEADER IN SECURING SR&ED TAX CREDITS FOR OVER 22 YEARS

WHAT IS

SR&ED

SR&ED is an acronym for the Scientific Research and Experimental Development program, which was established by the federal government in the mid-1990’s to assist Canadian companies with financing their research and development initiatives.

On the Canada Revenue Agency web site SR&ED is defined as:

“…a federal tax incentive program designed to encourage Canadian businesses of all sizes, and in all sectors, to conduct research and development (R&D) in Canada that will lead to new, improved or technologically advanced products or processes. The SR&ED program is the largest single source of federal government support for industrial research and development.”

The SR&ED program is currently a $3.5 billion program with no upper limit on the value of claims. It is on track for significant growth.

METHODS

Pinnacle specializes in securing SR&ED funding for our clients, through analysis, writing, filing and defence. We take care to assemble a customized team of accountants, engineers, and other technical specialists, who are most knowledgeable about your specific technology and industry. Working together, this team produces winning claims, every time, because the claims are built on a solid foundation of science, financials and intimate knowledge of SR&ED law. In fact, we have successfully filed over 2,700 claims.

Many companies find the SR&ED process to be intimidating. Leveraging our proven consulting services enables your staff to focus on your core business, rather than getting bogged down with detailed paperwork and navigating the complex CRA guidelines. With every new client, we remain mindful of three objectives:

Adding Value: Your Innovative Tax Credits (ITC), net of Pinnacle’s fees, should exceed what you would have received if you prepared the claim on your own.

Time is Money: Our clients employ us to relieve themselves of the burden of preparing detailed SR&ED documentation. We are committed to producing comprehensive scientific and financial reports with minimal time commitment from you.

Win-Win-Win: The final outcome should benefit all parties involved: you, CRA and Pinnacle.

This unique method of doing business has earned us widespread recognition as a leader in maximizing SR&ED funding support for our clients.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

TESTIMONIALS

  • Pinnacle is unlike other SR&ED consulting services in that they have in-house expertise in financial advisory services which we utilized in 2007 when to our surprise we received a call from a bank appointed receiver that one of our contract manufacturers in the US was being foreclosed by their bank. We asked Pinnacle for help to meet with the bank appointed receiver and try to come up with some sort of arrangement. Pinnacle took on the challenge and transformed the crisis into an opportunity. Pinnacle dealt directly with the bank appointed receiver, negotiated with the bank to continue supplying our product and initiated the process and negotiated with the receiver to purchase the facility in Austinburg Ohio, securing the financing from state and bank sources and closed the deal in June 2008.

    The acquisition, now known as RTS Companies USA was a pivotal step in our path to success, bringing us closer to our markets, expanding our capacity and providing a natural hedge in our labour pool and currency risk

  • 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.
