R&D Tax Credits
Non-Dilutive Capital, Back in Your Hands
Expert-led SR&ED. Higher returns, lower risk.
Comprehensive SR&ED Advisory for Canadian innovators, backed by 10+ years of R&D experience.
What we do:
Expert-led SR&ED for stronger claims, less work, and lower risk.
Our team identifies eligible projects, flags risks early, and ties every cost to the work behind it, meaning your claims hold up.
The result: lower funding risk, better claims, and a refund you can plan around.
Here’s what we deliver on:
-
No ticket queue, no rotating account managers, no behind-the-scenes writers. You work with the same person every year: a senior advisor who knows your technology and builds each claim on the last.
-
High-volume firms and automated software can leave money behind.
We take the time to understand your work in detail, so every eligible project and cost makes it into your claim, documented and defensible. -
We track, document, and assess the risk profile of your R&D throughout the year, and walk you through where things stand, so nothing catches you off guard.
-
We prepare your responses, organize your documentation, and stand beside you through the process.
In a review, CRA wants evidence of the work and people who can explain it. We make sure you have both.
Claim prepared by another firm? We offer review-only support and help address risks left by prior claims.
-
Your claim is led by an advisor who has prepared and defended 200+ SR&ED claims, so you benefit from thousands of hours of hands-on experience.
-
Our fees are success-based: we’re only paid once your refund is secured, so we’re invested in your success from day one.
You could be leaving $100K+ on the table
That’s a developer’s salary, a product launch, or six more months of runway, lost to a rushed or incomplete claim.

Who We Are
I’m Mark Derksen, founder and principal advisor at Spritz Capital.
I started in research labs in Canada and overseas, eventually earning a graduate degree in atmospheric physics from the University of Calgary. I went on to work as a project scientist on emissions research for industrial clients, then as a Senior SR&ED Manager at a national SR&ED firm, leading claims worth over $1M+ and leading CRA reviews for software, engineering, and biotech companies.
I know what real experimental work looks like, and how CRA evaluates it. You work with me directly, every year, so each claim builds on the last.
Outside work, I’ve competed nationally in rock climbing and coached athletes from grassroots to national level. These days you’ll find me climbing, skiing, or golfing around the Rocky Mountains
