Software development is a huge part of our business at Autotrader.ca. This requires a large development team spanning multiple provinces where numerous projects are happening concurrently. think.SRED provided us with a tactical plan they assured us would capture all of our eligible work through a non-invasive process. We’ve been down this road before with others, so initially their proposal seemed ambitious; but in the end they achieved exactly what they set out to, and our team found them surprising easy to collaborate with. I can now speak first hand to the difference the think.SRED team makes and the value they brought to Autotrader.ca.

think.COLLECTIVE came highly recommended so we agreed to hear what they had to say. Right off the bat, we were impressed by the amount of real-life software experience their team had and our developers opened right up to them. They shed light on areas of the program that could have easily been overlooked or misinterpreted, and when we engaged them they went above and beyond to help prepare our tax return so we could make the submission. In the end everything was accepted as filed, but what’s equally as important to us, we felt “in the know” throughout the entire process. As leaders, their understanding of software development & taxation was remarkable and they genuinely cared about our partnership; these guys are the real deal.

It was one of the big 4 who introduced us to SR&ED. An agreement was pushed on us and then we didn’t hear from them until a few weeks before our deadline, at which point they told us our submission was too small and not worth filing. We were totally turned off at this point, but we did some homework this time and ended up finding think.SRED. What a difference. We are an early-stage company and rarely in one place fire too long, so time and efficiency is everything to us. These guys took the time to understand who we are, and were straight with us right from the beginning. They completely understood our technology and when it came time to deal with CRA, they prepped us so we knew exactly what to expect. In the end our claim was accepted as filed. So if you’re a start-up but know you deserve being treated like a well-established company by genuine people, I’d highly recommend speaking to the think.SRED team. You won’t regret it.

Throughout our decade-long relationship, I’ve always known I was in great hands with these capable leaders. To me, their expertise and ability to execute isn’t up for debate; it’s proven. But in retrospect, after all these years and all of our shared wins, what stands out is how I felt when we faced challenges together. Not once did they put their interest ahead of ours, no matter the situation. That’s how we run our business and what I respect most about them; and if for no other reason, it’s why I recommend them to friends and colleagues.

What can I say about think.SRED… They’ve simplified the SR&ED preparation process beyond what I could have hoped for. It was always such a pain, especially when it came to audit. It’s night and day when preparing for audit with these guys, and the results speak for themselves. Technically they’re incredible; and surprisingly they’ve consistently found a way to inject a level of care and attention into our relationship that you rarely find in business.
