Our Values

Make a positive impact in the world through dedication, integrity, innovation, and respect.

Our Story

R&D Partners was started in 2002 by two successful tech entrepreneurs who loved both technology and fast-growing companies. We began assisting small, local startups in certain industries. With time, we brought on additional professional engineers, scientists, and tax professionals and began working with larger technology companies across Canada.

Fifteen years later, we have successfully claimed over $200 million in R&D tax credits and other government funding for our clients. Our client list proudly includes startups, leading high-growth firms, and some of the most recognizable global technology firms. We have some of the most sought-after team members, an impressive track record, a proven approach, and numerous awards recognizing our work.
