Finance Team of One Successfully Claims SR&ED + CDAE-IA
Gaiia, a Quebec City-based ISP software company with 30+ R&D professionals, successfully navigated their first CDAE-IA claim while maintaining a lean finance operation.
It Just Didn’t Add to My Workload”
The Challenge: As the sole finance team member preparing for Series B, Erin Bury needed to maximize R&D tax credits without sacrificing bandwidth for strategic priorities.
The Solution: Boast’s platform and bilingual specialists handled the complexity:
- Just 8-10 hours invested per SR&ED claim cycle
- Minimal engineering involvement for CDAE-IA
- Bilingual team engaged directly with Revenu Québec
- Automated platform handled data extraction
The Results:
- “The platform makes it easy. It just didn’t add to my workload.”
- “The Boast team being bilingual builds credibility with Quebec authorities.”
- “The amount we received felt proportional to the time invested—exactly what you want.”
