Hi, I’m Mei Tanaka — a biomedical engineer turned SR&ED educator. I hold a Master’s in Engineering from a top 30 global university and started my career as a technical consultant at KPMG, where I helped Canadian startups prepare SR&ED claims with confidence and clarity.

After working with dozens of engineers and founders, I realized most teams struggle with the same thing: translating brilliant technical work into language CRA understands. So I created this DIY SR&ED Toolkit to simplify the process — making claim prep 10× faster without needing a tax background.

I’m passionate about demystifying the SR&ED process and helping innovators get the credits they deserve. Whether you're a first-time filer or a startup scaling fast, my goal is to empower you with tools, structure, and peace of mind.
