WE LOVE FEEDBACK

What our clients have to say

We were looking for expertise and training support for our team to write the technical narratives required as part of the Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) Program, and commissioned Elizabeth Lance of Ingenuity Group Solutions for this mandate. We were extremely impressed with Elizabeth’s extensive knowledge of the program and her ability to quickly understand our requirements and efficiently and professionally deliver exactly to our needs. Elizabeth’s commitment to her deliverables and her natural talent for guiding people through the difficult process of collecting scattered information far surpassed our expectations. She was personable, well organized, and extremely reliable to deal with. Elizabeth is a superior communicator, and we would highly recommend Elizabeth and InGenuity Group to anyone going through the difficult SR&ED process. We look forward to using her expertise for future work of this nature.

Michael Groves, VP of R&D, Royal Canadian Mint

My company worked with the InGenuity Group on a SRED application recently. Elizabeth is extremely knowledgeable on the subject and clearly has the depth of experience required. She is also willing to patiently share that expertise and guided us through the entire process to a successful conclusion. We will work with her again.

Tim Smith, CEO – MagicLogic Optimization Inc

It’s like buying insurance for your SR&ED claim. Our first SR&ED application was reviewed, assessed and approved without revision or questions in less than 60 days. I know this is a direct result of Elizabeth and her team of SR&ED experts at The InGenuity Group. As a small startup, the effort required to thoroughly develop the application documentation for this tax program can be a daunting task, both time consuming and distracting. I’m thankful that The InGenuity Group managed out application from start to finish, engaging my team regularly and advising every step of the way. I strongly recommend Elizabeth and her team to anyone who is considering a SR&ED application.

Dan Gagliardi, Managing Director – Brennix Inc

Elizabeth helped us tremendously by providing a review of our government grant (SRED) submission. Liz is an expert in SRED – she knows the rules and regulations like not one else I’ve ever met, and was extremely helpful in helping us write our submission. I’d highly recommend Liz for any company looking to hire a SRED expert.

Mike Potter, CEO – Rewind

My SR&ED tax file was due on the exact day of my wedding. I was a bit nervous about the deadline. Just before my departure to Mexico, Elizabeth told me: “Everything will be well taken care of here.” It really was. She prepared our claim. It went through without any issues and I had my refund in a matter of weeks. Thanks to her, I had a worry-free wedding!

Pierre-Olivier Charlebois, Web Entrepreneur & Business Engineer

Great experience with Elizabeth and her team. I found the tools, feedback and insight very valuable when preparing my SR&ED documents. I would highly recommend her services to anyone needing help with this process.
