Testimonials
“At Kidzpace, we had never claimed under the SR&ED program before coming into contact with Northbridge. They were able to help us not only with the project identification and filing process, but also aided us with the claim during Technical and Financial reviews. Working with Northbridge allowed us to claim expenses for development work which would have otherwise been lost, allowing us to receive a significant refund for our efforts. This has enabled us to continue to invest in our growth through research and development and the SR&ED program.”
“AIIM has been working successfully with Northbridge Consultants since our 2003 claim, where we were able to claim both print projects and IT projects. The SR&ED program has been vital for our reclaiming of costs spent on the development of these projects. Working with Northbridge over the years has fostered a relationship that has contributed to our continual success as a leader in the printing industry.”
“Motor Coils contracted Northbridge Consultants in 2007 to guide our company through the complexities of applying for a tax rebate under the Scientific Research and Development Program. With their guidance we claimed and received a credit that was substantially more than we would have realized on our own. The refund secured by using Northbridge’s service more than justified their fees.”
“Zelus designs, manufactures and services overhead cranes. This is a very competitive business, operating at low margins at best, and particularly so in today’s economic downturn. Fortunately, we have been working with Northbridge to recover substantial costs related to development of new applications and technical advances in our industry. We have surprised ourselves at how much labour and materials are expended in development, costs which we did not previously recognize as recoverable. It is with your professional assistance that we have looked on these costs with a new perspective, and with your help we are improving our tracking process to increase our effectiveness in capturing these expenses. We look forward to working with you on our next claim.”
"We had never claimed for SR&ED until working with Northbridge Consultants for our 2007 claim. Both our 2007 and 2008 claims required revisions to the financials and narratives before being accepted. Northbridge was a great help in every step in the revision process, making the work on our end minimal for all of the changes that needed to be made."
"In the past, we had claimed for the SR&ED program with another consultant, but decided to make the switch to Northbridge for our most recent claim. After starting with Northbridge, we found that we were now working with consultants who knew our industry, resulting in us having to spend less time explaining the problems we were facing in our product development and improvement. Not only did working with Northbridge minimize the time that we had to spend on the SR&ED claim (both in work with the consultants and the actual preparation of the claim), but we also got a higher return from our claim than we had for any of our previous claims."
“I was skeptical when I was first introduced to the SR&ED program. I went to an information session put on by Northbridge. There were no promises made but Northbridge was more than happy to schedule time for a site visit to see if they thought it would be worth my while to put together a claim. Before their arrival I compiled a list of potential projects that I thought would serve as good SR&ED material. Northbridge took my list and expanded it into process that I had not seen or considered.
“The time that I spent on my SR&ED claim was insignificant compared to the reward for my efforts. My experience with the whole SR&ED process has been a positive one. I plan on increasing my time and efforts spent on new projects and improving processes so that I can continue to grow the company and get funding back through SR&ED annually.”
"The sizable refunds that Northbridge Consultants have helped Adventec to attain, through our critical startup years, have allowed us to sustain technical personnel growth rates of over 60% per year. We have established a reputation for value-added technology; SR&ED has been our only safety net as we have continued to pursue difficult leading edge challenges."
"When we first signed on with Northbridge Consultants I was unsure of whether the SR&ED program would provide a worthwhile return on investment. After meeting with Michael Crozier, I felt much more at ease both about the program and about the claiming process. Together, we completed claims for 2006, 2007 and 2008, and after going through the audit process received significant funds back which we have used to reinvest in our company. Going forward, we plan on continuing to strengthen our relationship with Northbridge, and are confident that Mike will make it easy to complete and submit our future claims, with a similar return to what we have previously received"
