Founded in 2003, Cognifistech’s team combines 7 bilingual professionals specialized in Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credits. Our team is composed of 5 engineers and 2 tax accountants; they are competent, flexible, and efficient.

The company follows the same structure as the Canada Revenue Agency: the fiscalists take good care of the financial aspects and work in synergy with the engineers who, in turn, identify projects and tackle the technical matters.
