Our previous SR&ED provider was a large accounting firm, and every year we spent hours explaining our firmware architecture to junior staff. EVAMAX's technical team understood our embedded systems work from the first call and asked the questions a fellow engineer would ask. For the first time, our claim reflected the real science behind our product.
EVAMAX's specialist dug into our fermentation process and found experimental work we had never thought to claim. Our SR&ED benefit increased by 65% in the first year, and every dollar is backed by solid technical documentation.
When CRA reviewed our claim, the EVAMAX expert who wrote our report walked the Research & Technology Advisor through our technological uncertainties and experiments in language they recognized. The review closed with 100% approval!
We had been paying the same flat contingency rate for years without questioning it. EVAMAX priced our claim based on our actual situation, and we kept substantially more of our refund as a result. Better rate, better claim, and we still had a technical expert on our file.
Our old provider sent us templates and questionnaires, and our engineers ended up doing most of the writing. EVAMAX assigned a technical expert with 23 years in our field who needed one conversation to understand what took us weeks to explain before. Our team's time on SR&ED dropped from 50 hours to 10 hours.
We assumed our SR&ED claim was as good as it could be. EVAMAX's technical expert reviewed our machine learning projects and identified eligible work our previous provider had overlooked entirely, including failed experiments we never thought counted. Our benefit increased by about 35%, and every project in the claim is fully supported.
What keeps us with EVAMAX after more than 12 years is that the experts know our technology history. They understand how each year's work builds on the last, which makes every claim stronger and every CRA review easier to defend.
The moment I trusted EVAMAX was when they told us one of our projects didn't qualify. Our previous provider would have claimed it anyway. Their expert explained exactly why it fell short of CRA's criteria and what would have to change for similar work to qualify in the future. That honesty is why I sleep well at filing time.
I'll admit I was skeptical. We'd been with a big accounting firm for years and assumed every SR&ED provider was basically the same. Our first meeting with EVAMAX changed my mind: within an hour their expert was asking about our assay development work in more depth than our previous provider had in five years. I've since referred more than 4 companies in our network.
When CRA notified us of a review, I was dreading it. Our EVAMAX expert prepared our team, sat in on every meeting with the Research & Technology Advisor, and answered technical questions on the spot. What I expected to be months of disruption was resolved in 6 weeks, with no change to our claim.
We came to EVAMAX 4 weeks before our filing deadline, with nothing prepared. They had a complete, well-documented claim filed on time, and it was processed without a single request for more information.
When EVAMAX technical staff was working on our SR&ED claims, they identified IRAP & Alberta Innovates grant opportunities. And, helped us recover monies under those grants as well.
