See what our clients have to say about our services, and why partnering with TSI led them to success with their SR&ED claims and other funding programs.

Jeff Battler, President & CEO, 12 Gauge Customs
Industry: Custom automotive manufacturing
“12 Gauge Customs has worked with TSI since 2009 where they immediately helped us defend our 2008 claim which was being audited. Not only did they provide responsive support, but they were very proactive in guiding us to capture documentation and improve our systems for tracking technical projects. Once we had our SR&ED systems optimized, TSI looked to other government programs to help with hiring, training and recovering taxes for our capital expenditures and equipment purchases. Overall, the experience has been great, we really appreciate the client service and we have much more funding opportunities on the table compared to our last advisor that only focused on SR&ED. We are happy to recommend TSI if you’re looking to improve your innovation process and maximize the government support that is available.

"Lazer-Tech Limited has been pursuing SR&ED claims since 2003 and have been audited every year until 2008 when we started our relationship with TSI. Our claim was accepted as filed and I am confident that the concise and professional methods used by TSI were instrumental in this great success. Previous claims had been laborious to complete and almost certain to be audited. The process now is straight forward and logical with clear direction and few surprises. Overall the transition to TSI has been seamless and painless. The entire experience has been very pleasant and has had instant success."

As a fledgling company, we need all the help we can get and we think very highly of you for helping us do so.”

Jim Ilkay - President, Edgebuilder Inc. (a division of Ellis Don)
Industry: Software

“I would like to thank you and your team for your excellent work in completing our SR&ED submission. The success of our claim came as a result of your disciplined claim methodology. Your technical consultants combed through our development records with my team, and found eligible SR&ED projects. I found your technical consultants to be knowledgeable in both the SR&ED program and the technology industry, which minimized the efforts consumed by the technical staff to create the technical report. At the same time, your accounting consultant dug through our accounting records with our office manager to optimize the eligible SR&ED project expenses. The completeness of the final technical report and accounting package was a testament to the high professional standards of your team. This disciplined team approach resulted in a successful submission. It’s been a pleasure working with TSI and we certainly look forward to continuing the close working relationship in years to come.“

“TSI was able to successfully find opportunities to claim SR&ED by reviewing our development records alongside my team to find eligible projects. Their technical and financial consultants have minimized the efforts consumed by our staff during the claim preparation to optimize the eligible SR&ED project claims. They deployed a Customer Care documentation package to help us efficiently to track our time and expenditures as we go forward. I was impressed with their expertise in our industry, and I look forward to working with TSI again in the future.”

“Blinco Systems has now partnered successfully with TSI on several claims. TSI’s experienced and congenial team has been responsive to our particular requirements at each stage of process. They are extremely knowledgeable about the nuances of the SR&ED program and the criteria that are applied to software development in particular. Katrina has been especially proactive, supportive, and helpful, meeting with us throughout the year to audit documentation and to provide timely strategic advice to help better the approach to our innovation activities. TSI has become part of our team, reducing the effort required to track, manage, and develop our claims. We look forward to a long and productive relationship with TSI in support of our efforts.”
