What we do
SR&ED claims from start to finish: eligibility review, technical interviews, narratives, expenditure calculations, T661 and provincial schedules, filing, and support through CRA review.
Who we work with
Five-person startups through multinationals, in software, AI, advanced manufacturing, life sciences, clean technology, and more.
Beyond SR&ED
Provincial digital media tax credits (BC IDMTC, Ontario OIDMTC, Quebec CTMM), government funding programs such as NRC-IRAP, and SR&ED process consulting.
How we charge
Contingency (paid only after CRA pays you), hourly advisory, or a fixed fee. Every engagement starts with a free assessment.
Where We Work
Vancouver-based, Canada-wide
Our head office is in Burnaby, in Metro Vancouver, but our clients are spread across the country. SR&ED is a federal program, and we prepare the matching provincial R&D credits for whichever province you operate in, from British Columbia and Alberta to Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada.
Technical interviews happen by video call or in person, whichever suits your team.
How We Work
What sets us apart
We Talk to Your Engineers, Not Just Your Accountant
Most firms send a questionnaire. We send a consultant who sits with your R&D team, learns the dead ends and breakthroughs, and writes a claim that reflects your actual work.
Built to Stand Up to an Audit
1 in 7 SR&ED claims get audited. We write every claim expecting yours will be one of them, and if it is, the same team that built it handles the entire defense.
You Pay When CRA Pays
Most clients pay nothing until their refund hits the bank. If we don't deliver, we don't get paid.
We've Seen Your Tech Stack Before
Our team has written SR&ED claims across software, biotech, manufacturing, and more. We understand your domain, and make sure you spend less time explaining and more time building.
Boutique Firm, Enterprise Results
Our team combines deep technical expertise with rigorous SR&ED methodology. You get senior-level attention on every claim without the overhead.
Full Transparency
Some firms guard their process and their claims, which leaves you expected to file something you don't understand. We're committed to making sure you understand exactly what you're filing, and why.
Leadership
Who you'll work with
Glen Simkus
Managing Director and CEO, ENTAX
Glen has a decade of experience with SR&ED claims, eight years of it at ENTAX, and has helped hundreds of companies claim hundreds of millions of dollars in SR&ED expenditures. As Managing Director and CEO, he oversees ENTAX's operations, every client deliverable, and the development of our team.
His greatest passions are learning and sharing knowledge, which is what drew him to SR&ED. What he values most about the work is hearing about the advancements clients are making, helping them draw out what makes that work special, and seeing the credits they earn fund their next round of innovation. Over his career he has worked with R&D teams across software, machine learning, bioinformatics, life sciences and pharma, manufacturing, cleantech, and IoT, and with the tax credits and government incentives that give businesses large and small access to inexpensive capital so they can grow faster.
Glen believes simplicity and structure are the keys to success, and that transparency should run through everything ENTAX does. The claim belongs to the client; our job is to put it in the best light possible. That same client-education-first focus is why he writes much of the guidance on our blog.
