At Rippling, we’re committed to empowering businesses and simplifying their operations. Therefore, we’re excited to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Boast AI, a leader in AI-driven R&D tax credit automation. 

Together, we’re making it easier for Rippling clients in the US and Canada to claim valuable R&D tax credits and SR&ED claims, unlocking crucial cash flow to fuel innovation and growth.

Unlock $100,000s in R&D tax credits

Most companies don’t realize that US businesses can claim up to $500,000 in R&D tax credits and Canadian companies can recoup an average of 60 cents on the dollar of all qualified expenditures via SR&ED.

Through our partnership, Rippling clients in both countries can seamlessly claim these credits, significantly improving their cash flow and enabling reinvestment into innovation and growth. Our integrated solution with Boast AI makes the complex claiming process easier, faster, and more efficient than ever before.

Why Boast AI?

Boast AI isn’t just another service provider; they are a Rippling Choice Partner for a reason. With over 10 years of experience and a proven track record, Boast AI has helped businesses claim over $600 million in R&D tax credits and SR&ED rebates. They specialize in tax incentives in both the US and Canada, ensuring businesses can maximize their credits.

Their AI-powered platform automates the identification, documentation, and submission of claims, ensuring businesses can access the maximum amount they’re entitled to, without the usual complexity.

Plus, their team of tax experts brings deep expertise in both R&D tax credits (US) and SR&ED (Canada), making them the ideal partner for businesses with operations in either country.

Untapped potential for R&D tax credits and SR&ED

Every year, there are more than $20 billion worth of innovation tax credits on offer across North America, but 95% of eligible companies don’t claim this funding. 

Our partnership with Boast AI changes that. By integrating their AI-driven capabilities with Rippling’s platform, we’re ensuring that businesses in both the US and Canada can unlock these underutilized funds with minimal effort and maximum efficiency.

The impact for entrepreneurs in the US & Canada

With the Rippling & Boast AI partnership, businesses can now:

  • Simplify the claim process: Seamlessly gather necessary documentation and submit claims in both the US and Canada, without the usual complexity or delay.

  • Access expert guidance in both countries: Whether you’re claiming R&D tax credits in the US or SR&ED rebates in Canada, Boast AI’s tax experts ensure that your claims are fully compliant and maximized for both programs.

  • Improve cash flow: Quickly unlock hundreds of thousands in cash that can be reinvested into your business for growth, hiring, and innovation.

  • Operate seamlessly across borders: Boast AI makes it easy to navigate both the US R&D tax credit program and Canada’s SR&ED program, so you can maximize the value of innovation and R&D efforts across the board.

With Boast AI’s expertise in both R&D tax credits and SR&ED claims, you can easily unlock the rarely claimed tax incentives and uncover new cash flow to accelerate your business.
