About
Boast is a specialized R&D tax credit solution designed to help innovative companies in Canada and the United States secure government funding with minimal administrative burden. By combining advanced AI technology with a team of in-house technical and tax experts, the platform streamlines the identification, documentation, and filing of claims for programs like SR&ED, CDAE, and IDMTC. Unlike generalist accounting firms, Boast focuses exclusively on maximizing innovation capital, ensuring that businesses capture every eligible dollar to fuel their continued growth and development without giving up equity or spending months on manual paperwork. The core of the platform lies in its ability to integrate directly with a company's existing technical and financial infrastructure. By pulling data from systems such as engineering task trackers, payroll software, and financial ledgers, Boast's AI identifies eligible R&D activities and expenses in real-time. This automated evidence collection creates a living documentation trail that is audit-ready from day one, significantly reducing the rush and stress typically associated with tax season. The platform doesn't just process data; it applies specialized tax logic to optimize the claim size while maintaining rigorous compliance standards. Boast is particularly beneficial for high-growth startups, SMBs, and mid-market companies in sectors like software development, cloud computing, and manufacturing. For founders and C-suite executives, it provides a non-dilutive way to extend runway and reinvest in product development. Finance teams benefit from the reduction in manual data entry and complex spreadsheet management, while engineering and product teams are spared from the time-consuming process of manually logging hours for tax purposes. This cross-functional utility makes it a strategic tool for the entire innovation department rather than just a back-office accounting task. What sets Boast apart from competitors is its hybrid approach of technology plus expertise. While tech-only solutions often lack the nuanced judgment required for complex tax codes and large accounting firms may lack deep technical integration, Boast provides both. Their AuditShield feature offers comprehensive defense support, and their team of specialists acts as an extension of the client's team to navigate regional variations in tax law. Since 2011, this combination has allowed Boast to help over 2,000 companies unlock more than $675 million in innovation capital.
