How Dorset Pier backs your SR&ED claim
Leveraging our multidisciplinary team
With fields of study and hands-on experience ranging from accounting to psychology, carpentry to the arts, social sciences to manufacturing & distribution, non-profit work to post-secondary teaching, our team seeks to genuinely learn and understand your work, diving into it along with you and keeping up by pinning concepts to their eclectic know-how
Connecting directly with your key players
We build a comprehensive understanding of your projects straight from the source; you and your team are the experts in your work, and we prioritize connecting, confirming, and consulting while keeping things as paperwork-light as possible for your crew
Route mapping & navigation
Our team will help epitomize your R&D work and steer an approach to accurately capture the entirety of efforts and advancements as a concise package, one that is purpose-built for a defensible SR&ED claim grounded in evidence and science
Letting you know what we need
Once we have a solid grasp of your work, we provide an organized and detailed list of what evidence we are looking for to support your SR&ED claim, without leaving you guessing or sifting through your year of documents and files on your own (i.e. no more unsure needle-in-the-haystacking)
Taking on the heavy lifting
We parse through your relevant documentation and records - datasets, CAD files, photos, reports, renders, repositories and more - so your team can focus on their current work and keep on with what they do best (while we do the same); That proverbial needle in the haystack? We jump right into your haystack with metal detectors and microscopes, then follow with a baler so you… don’t have to
Scaled presence and local context
Our firm has offices in both Toronto and Northwestern Ontario, with our team regularly travelling throughout the province for in-person consultation, site visits, and audit or review meetings; we have a thorough understanding of the realities regarding R&D work in both Northern and Southern Ontario, and regularly work with clients across the country from coast to coast
Peer review & mock audits
SR&ED claims prepared by our team go through a stringent peer review and mock audit process, helping ensure the direction and structure of your claim is on track to soundly hold up against potential review or audit should a claim be subject to either down the line
Audit defence
If your SR&ED claim is subject to review or audit, we are with you every step of the way to help prepare, inform, and drive home a successful result; our team will join you in review and audit meetings to advocate throughout the process, confidently standing behind your work and ours
