“We had filed SR&ED claims previously on our own, but one of our suppliers suggested that we try Pinnacle. We hired them on a no risk basis and, after careful analysis of our operations, they were able to identify areas of science that we had not considered previously. They successfully increased our claims by a factor of six. We will continue to use their services because they deliver.”

“Pinnacle came in, went through all our project files and expenses and, with very little effort on my part, increased the SR&ED claim by 300% by identifying all the projects and costs that qualified. They then guided us through the review process and our claim was approved.”

“We heard about Pinnacle from a colleague in our business who raved about their services. They filed the SR&ED claim with very little disruption to our operation and we were very impressed with the final report and amount. When the CRA Science Reviewer came in and reviewed the file they commented that our consultants had done an outstanding job and that it was obvious we understood the SR&ED program. The financial review was also very professional and we received our approval letter within 6 months of filing.”

“We were using our accountants to file SR&ED claims but they did not really understand our science and recommended that we employ Pinnacle. After Pinnacle’s due diligence, they prepared both the science and financial presentation outlining our technological advancements and successfully increased our claim by 1,000%. The CRA science reviewer was impressed and understood what we were doing. We rely on Pinnacle; they have become an integral part of our business.”

“Our accountants (one of the Big 5) told us that we were not entitled to SR&ED tax credits as we were a CRO whose main business was doing contract research for Canadian drug companies. A business associate of mine recommended that we give Pinnacle a try. Pinnacle visited our operation and identified science in 3 areas: chemistry, toxicology and microbiology. They were able to prove to CRA that our development of methods in these areas was not fully paid for by customer contracts. We have been receiving substantial SR&ED credits with Pinnacle as our consultants, which has allowed us to expand our services and develop further test methods. I would highly recommend Pinnacle to any pharmaceutical company.”
