Benefits of SR&ED at Ryan
Ryan has developed an excellent reputation with the CRA and consistently achieves much lower audit rates than the industry.
- We are thorough: Ryan goes to extra lengths to unearth all possible projects and eligible expenses, ensuring all claims are maximized legitimately while meeting policy guidelines.
- We are experts: We are one of only a few companies that sits on a panel that meets regularly with the CRA to discuss policy changes. This allows us to act as an industry advocate as well as to be aware of upcoming policy changes well before they occur.
- Do not miss out on opportunities: Claimants who prepare their own SR&ED internally often fall into a rut, claiming the same types of projects and expenditures while missing out on other eligible areas.
- Tried and true methodologies: Ryan’s many years and range of expertise along with our methodologies ensure all areas of the business are searched for eligible SR&ED and all eligible expenditures are claimed.
- Get out of an “audit rut”: We help our clients to “get out of an audit rut” caused by previously submitted claims that were poorly prepared and/or defended by our competitors.
- We do all the work: While other advisors place much of the burden of preparing SR&ED claims on your employees, Ryan’s team has developed methodologies to prepare the entire claim with limited input from your employees, freeing your employees up to focus on growing your business.
- We are prepared: We fully prepare all reports and forms for your review.
We are recognized for our customer service: At Ryan, we pride ourselves on our high levels of customer service with our clients giving us a 98% rating for overall satisfaction.
- The Ryan SR&ED team was recently rated as the top performing tax services team within Canada with an outstanding 99.7% client satisfaction rating across all clients.
- Our clients recognize us for our expertise, communication during the claim preparation process, and timeliness of service.
- We are documentation experts: Ryan has developed a proprietary documentation system, powered by Dovico software, to capture all eligible activities and costs throughout the year and streamline the claim preparation process.
