Checkpoint Research Inc

Checkpoint Research is a Canadian SR&ED consultancy. Since 2005 we've prepared 8,500+ claims and recovered over $500M for Canadian businesses, with a 96.5% success rate.

We are technical specialists first. Generalist accounting firms understand finance, but not software architecture, control systems or lab scale-up — and that disconnect produces vague claims that fail to demonstrate genuine technological uncertainty to the CRA. Our consultants work peer-to-peer with your engineers, in your language.

We extract technical evidence in the background, from Jira tickets, CAD files, lab logs and production records, so your team stays focused on the work instead of writing tax essays. And we don't disappear when the CRA asks questions — we manage the technical defence directly.

The Baseline Guarantee: many founders file baseline claims internally and hesitate to engage consultants because of fees. We protect your existing baseline and apply our success fee only to the additional capital we secure. You never pay for what you could have done yourself.
