GovMoney is a Canadian advisory firm for non-dilutive funding — SR&ED, IRAP, provincial grants, federal programs. We started because we watched too many innovators underclaim, overpay, or avoid the process entirely. This is the firm we wished existed when we were inside the Big 4.
Minimum fees priced startups out. Junior consultants handled files they weren't ready for. Senior reviewers rubber-stamped work they didn't understand. The volume-over-quality mindset meant the same boilerplate narrative appeared in dozens of client submissions, and CRA could smell it from a mile away.
The people losing were the people who most needed the money: Canadian founders trying to extend runway, hire engineers, or fund their first prototype. The people winning were the partners of firms that had long since stopped doing the actual work.
We'd seen enough $180K claims reduced to $40K because a first-year associate missed three pages of eligible expenses.The founders
Every GovMoney engagement is led — not reviewed, led — by a senior consultant with 10+ years of direct SR&ED experience. The person who scopes your engagement is the person who interviews your engineers, writes your narrative, calculates your costing, and defends your claim if CRA reviews it. No handoffs. No outsourcing. No offshoring.
We pair that with success-based fees — you pay nothing until the refund lands — and a self-imposed quality cap. We turn away engagements we can't defend, and we hold our book to what our senior team can personally touch. It's slower. It's also why our first-pass approval rate has held at 99% for two decades.
Book a 15-minute consultation. We'll walk through your business, identify which programs apply, and give you a realistic funding estimate — no obligation, no pressure.
