Wavecrest’s Philosophy
We are dedicated to helping builders achieve growth. As founders and investors ourselves, we ensure every service we offer is builder friendly.
Builder friendly SR&ED
Our team is composed of experienced professionals who have both invested in and raised capital, giving us a unique perspective on the challenges faced by entrepreneurs. With extensive experience with SR&ED claims, we ensure our clients maximize their benefits.
Our commitment to founder friendly SR&ED is more than just catchy brand positioning, it is an unwavering belief that those who take the risk building companies deserve to keep more of the credits they are entitled to.
Specifically, this means that Wavecrest offers clients:
Best rate guarantee: Big accounting firms or SR&ED boutiques often charge high fees, which are needed to cover their overhead costs. We keep our overhead low and are committed to giving your company a fair rate. If we can't give you a better deal, we just won't take your business.
Saving your team time: The effort required to produce a SR&ED claim can vary, but our approach is to roll up our sleeves and do the heavy lifting so you don't have to. Typically, we can free up at least 60% of the time you would spend working on SR&ED with other providers.
No fees for audit defense: If your SR&ED claim is selected for audit by CRA, it can not only be stressful and cause delays, but you will likely incur additional fees to defend your claim. We stand by our work. If you get audited - the cost to defend it is included. There's no additional fee.
No fees on interest: If you are delayed in submitting your SR&ED claim, CRA may actually owe you interest on your claim. Most firms charge their fee on your interest. We think that is wrong. Your interest is your money and you should keep it.
No hidden fees: Make sure you look at that last page on your contract from a big accounting firm - often you will see an administration fee applied above and beyond the rate you have agreed to. Wavecrest's quote is all in so, even if you read the fine print, you won't find any surprises. We can pay for our own laptops and software subscriptions.
