How We Streamline Your SR&ED Claim Process
At Ledger & Strategy (L&S), we streamline the SR&ED process using modern, AI-enabled data capture and structuring systems designed to simplify documentation, reduce the time and effort required from your team, and strengthen the quality and defensibility of your claim—while helping maximize your SR&ED return.
Whether you are new to SR&ED or already claiming, our approach is designed to make ongoing documentation and claim preparation faster, clearer, and far less disruptive to day-to-day operations.
AI-Enabled Software Built Around Your Workflow
We use AI-assisted structuring with simple text-based capture tools, in conjunction with platforms such as Google Sheets, Basecamp, and Jira, to create a simple, efficient record-keeping system that supports clear documentation and CRA-ready reporting.
Your team uses our text-based system to quickly capture notes, photos, videos, and updates as work happens. That information is automatically organized, time-stamped, and structured—with AI support—so it flows directly into your SR&ED technical narratives and claim forms, with minimal manual effort.
What is SR&ED typically worth?
For BC-based Canadian-Controlled Private Corporations, SR&ED commonly returns around 45% of eligible costs.
Example:
$50,000 in eligible wages (before materials or equipment are included) → approximately $32,000 in refundable tax credits
(using the proxy method)
Many companies qualify without realizing it—especially those doing process improvements, troubleshooting, prototyping, or testing.
Actual results vary based on facts and eligibility.
Our systems are designed around what matters most: producing strong, defensible SR&ED claims.

Survive Audits with Ease: Organized, digitable traceable project records.
