Testimonials
Read what some of our clients have to say about our work.
“We ran a comprehensive, national search for a SR&ED consultant, and got proposals back from a number of well-known SR&ED advisors. Ryan and the team at ENTAX were the clear winners, and the last 4 years he and his team have proven repeatedly that we made the right decision. Unlike other firms, who will take you through a flashy sales process then pass you off to a Jr. Associate, ENTAX has walked us through the process every year. Through millions of dollars in claims, ENTAX has advised us on how to legitimately maximize our claims while minimizing the likelihood of an audit”
Jae Reichel
