What Does Boast Do?
Boast helps businesses claim SR&ED Tax Credits in Canada.聽 Historically, claiming SR&ED credits has been an arduous and difficult process.
Boast brings a complete solution to maximize tax incentive claims and eliminate the difficulty and mystery of traditional offerings.聽 Its AI powered platform connects with your financial system to gather data and categorize eligible projects and expenses to be claimed.

Boast also allows companies to access a portion of their SR&ED refund 12 months early by loaning up to 75% of the expected refund.聽 This allows businesses, and especially pre-revenue businesses to reinvest that money sooner to grow more quickly.
Why We Love Boast
It鈥檚 nearly impossible for business owners to tackle SR&ED credit preparation and filing on their own without consulting a specialist.聽 And specialists often take a large percentage of the tax credit as their fee.
The average SR&ED consultant requires between 60 and 80 hours of your team鈥檚 time to complete a SR&ED claim.聽 That鈥檚 time that your team isn鈥檛 building products or moving your business forward.
Boast aims to solve this by combining tech-enabled consultants with its proprietary software to make the SR&ED claim process much more efficient.聽 The system is set up and runs throughout the year so that data is constantly gathered instead of all at once after the year-end.
SR&ED claims requiring as little as 5 hours of the business owner鈥檚 time or his staff鈥檚 time is a pretty spectacular feat.
