Maximizing SR&ED Claims with AutoDoc: The Conceptinero Story
How a leading SR&ED advisory firm transformed their documentation process and achieved remarkable results for their clients
The Challenge
Conceptinero, a prominent SR&ED tax credit advisory firm, faced significant challenges in streamlining their clients' often cumbersome and error-prone SR&ED claim processes:
- Managing extensive datasets throughout the year while ensuring data accuracy

- Limited time for consultant onboarding and documentation preparation

"AutoDoc has been an invaluable tool for our clients. The seamless integration with Jira and Github combined with automated reporting and proactive compliance features, has dramatically simplified the SR&ED claim process, saved our client's hours of time that is better spent solving R&D problems, rather than defending them to CRA."
Future Opportunities

A centralized dashboard to monitor data completeness, track project progress, and visualize key metrics related to SR&ED eligibility would enhance user control and provide real-time insights for clients.
AI-Driven Insights
Integrating AI capabilities to automatically generate project descriptions, technical narratives, and identify potential SR&ED-eligible work could significantly reduce manual effort and further automate the claim process.
