About
Richard Moore
The CRA employed me to audit hundreds of taxpayers’ SR&ED claims in software, hardware, IT, and multimedia from 1996 to 2000. I’ve worked at IBM, Blackberry and NorthernTelecom, and founded 6 startups. An Electrical Engineer, MBA from UBC I taught at Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia, University of Victoria, and commercialized research at the University of Waterloo.
My Expertise:
The CRA has approved:
I'll navigate the CRA's approval process for you
The CRA hired me and 2 dozen specialists to interpret the Income Tax Act during the formation of SR&ED department in Vancouver during the late 1990s. I was an “Expert Witness” for the CRA’s Special Investigations Unit and Department of Justice.
I monitor CRA's policy changes.
The underlying financial calculations are complex, different in each province. Most accountants get them wrong. CRA’s perspective is arcane.
Read my blog.
I understand the CRA's perspective.
We’ll explain to the CRA why your activities qualify for SR&ED, from the CRA’s perspective. Your SR&ED claim is more likely to be approved… without an audit.
The CRA is therefore more likely to approve your SR&ED claim.
We’ll prepare a 4-page explanation for the CRA to understand why your activities qualify, and prepare documentation so we’re ready to justify your SR&ED claims.

You'll benefit by interacting with just one person.
Other SR&ED consultants require 2 people:
an accountant and a technical writer.
I perform both these functions… so you’ll pay less and receive better service, faster.
