Tax Season 2026: Don’t Leave SR&ED Money on the Table

With filing deadlines approaching, many companies rush through their SR&ED claims; often leaving significant refundable credits unclaimed. Whether you’re preparing your claim now or finalizing your numbers, there’s still time to ensure you’re capturing the full value of the work your team has done.

Join Sarah Lesperance, Head of SR&ED Growth, and Ali Afshar, Head of Claims Solutions at Employment Hero, for a practical session designed to help founders and finance leaders understand what can still be reviewed, adjusted, and optimized before filing.

In this session, we’ll walk through the most common areas companies miss, from overlooked R&D activities to underreported eligible costs, and share how to prepare a claim that is both complete and defensible.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• What types of work still qualify for SR&ED that many teams overlook
• Which eligible costs are most commonly missed before filing
• What adjustments can still be made to your claim before submission
• The most common mistakes that trigger CRA reviews
• How to prepare a strong, defensible claim without overclaiming

This session is ideal for startup founders, finance leaders, and operators preparing their 2026 SR&ED claim who want to ensure they’re not leaving valuable non-dilutive funding on the table.
