SR&ED for CFOs & in-house teams

Finance sees payroll, invoices and the reporting deadline.

The technical team remembers the failed tests and design changes. A claim needs both accounts of the year to line up.

SREDlog keeps the evidence, expenditures and review record together whether the company prepares in-house or works with an advisor.

Bring SR&ED into the finance calendar

SR&ED credits can be a meaningful part of R&D planning. Keeping potentially eligible expenditures and source records current gives finance a clearer view before the filing deadline.

Forecast only what the record can support

The claim should reflect the eligible work and expenditures the company can support. SREDlog keeps the calculation, technical record and review history together so each amount can be checked before filing.

Give both teams the same claim record

  • Track potentially eligible expenditures alongside evidence-grounded narratives.
  • Connect each material claimed amount to its source for review.
  • Generate the T661, Schedule 31 and supported provincial forms as reviewable drafts.
  • Build the supporting binder from the same records used to prepare the claim.

Keep the record when an advisor joins

Manage preparation in-house or use SREDlog alongside your existing consultant. Both approaches give technical and finance teams access to the same evidence and claim record.
