Empowering Business Growth Through Tax Incentives and Government Programs

Our Mission

To simplify access to tax credits through expert guidance, technology, and strategic insight.

For decades, businesses have struggled with complex, time-consuming tax credit processes that leave money on the table. Boast changes this reality by combining deep technical and tax expertise with AI-powered technology to help innovative companies maximize their R&D tax credits while minimizing effort. We’re accelerating innovation by unlocking the full value of government funding programs.

Our Vision

Empowering business growth and innovation by unlocking the full value of tax incentives and government programs worldwide.

How We Drive Innovation Through Tax Incentives

Innovative companies grow significantly faster than their competitors, but only when they have the capital to fuel continuous development.

Since 2011, Boast has helped more than 1,700 businesses across North America tap into over $625 million in innovation capital.Our platform integrates financial, payroll, and engineering data into a comprehensive system that maximizes your R&D tax credits. We combine cutting-edge AI with decades of specialized tax expertise to ensure you capture every eligible dollar while maintaining audit-proof documentation from day one.

Our Distinctive Excellence

The integration of AI with deep technical and tax expertise to maximize tax credits and minimize customer effort.

Unlike traditional accounting firms that treat R&D credits as just another service line, or tech-only competitors that miss the nuanced judgment calls required for maximum returns, Boast delivers the best of both worlds: advanced automation paired with specialized human expertise that speaks the unique language of R&D tax incentives.
