About Accolade Consulting Group Inc.

Accolade Consulting Group Inc. is a professional consulting firm located on Derwent Rd in the Old Masonville neighbourhood of London. The company serves businesses of all sizes across various industries, including manufacturing, food science, food production, aerospace, software development, chemical engineering, rubber development, industrial equipment, and automation. They specialize in helping clients secure Investment Tax Credits (ITCs) from the federal government's Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) program. The firm offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to manage the technical and financial aspects of SR&ED claims. These include free on-site consultations to determine claim eligibility, the installation and setup of internal data capture systems for contemporaneous project tracking, and the preparation of technical and financial reports for the CRA. Accolade also provides training for engineers and staff on program requirements, regular site visits to monitor project progress, and defense of claims during CRA reviews. They work closely with a client's existing accounting group and can provide Taxprep import files to streamline the transfer of claim information to corporate tax returns. Established in 2003, the company is led by Peter Chelonis, P.Eng., who oversees the technical portion of the claims, and Bill Panopoulous, MBA, who manages the financial portion and serves as the primary correspondent with the CRA. The firm distinguishes itself by utilizing their combined 40 years of experience with the SR&ED program to minimize the workload for clients. They operate on a contingency fee structure, where fees are only payable if the company successfully receives a refund or tax credit; otherwise, there is no charge for their services.
