Canada’s innovation ecosystem is ripe with possibility. The future is very, very bright.

Dharmesh Gandhi

Partner, SR&ED, Incentives and Capital Investments, EY Canada

Passionate supporter of Canada’s innovation economy. Committed to building a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Innovation is only as strong as our collective ability to support it. As an EY Canada partner who leads our business incentives practice nationally, Dharmesh and his team works hand in hand with Canadian organizations to understand the incentives and cash tax savings available to them, and translate those opportunities into leading-edge developments.

Since joining EY’s dedicated Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SRED) practice in 2011, Dharmesh has led business tax incentive credit engagements from coast to coast. His team empowers clients to identify and tap into legislative and discretionary sources of government funding to fuel their innovation programs. This group’s integrated approach enables practitioners to provide support across a broad spectrum of areas, from compliance and assurance to tax advisory services. Dharmesh brings expansive skills to that mix, including negotiation, business planning, risk management and more.

Dharmesh holds a Master’s of Business Administration degree in strategy management (finance specialization) from York University’s Schulich School of Business. He is passionate about supporting next-gen Canadian tech firms and plays an active role with incubators and accelerators, such as NEXT Canada.

How Dharmesh is building a better working world

“Canadian companies are moving the needle on what’s possible every single day. It’s inspiring working with them as they navigate the funding and incentives ecosystem. That’s one key way we can help these innovative builders keep on building our working world for the better. We’re very happy to be a part of that evolution.”
