Checkpoint Research
Accounting firm · Mississauga · checkpointresearch.ca
An SR&ED consulting firm in Mississauga that prepares and defends research credit claims, and a partner of Velocity in Waterloo.
Checkpoint Research prepares claims for SR&ED, the federal tax credit for research and development. It has done this work for Canadian companies since 2005.
Its technical specialists gather evidence from Jira tickets, CAD files and lab logs and write the reports, then work with your tax advisor on the filing. Its success fee applies only to the amount it secures above what a company could claim on its own, and it handles CRA reviews.
Checkpoint says it partners with startup incubators to help early-stage companies, including Velocity in Waterloo. Its office is in Mississauga.
