About Us

Dedicated to Helping Canadian Businesses Thrive

For over a decade, Henderson Consulting & Associates has been a trusted partner for companies seeking to maximize their government funding opportunities.

Our Story

Built on Expertise, Driven by Results

Henderson Consulting & Associates was founded in 2014 with a clear mission: to help Canadian businesses navigate the complex landscape of government funding programs with confidence and precision.

Our founders recognized that many innovative companies were missing out on significant funding opportunities—not because they didn't qualify, but because they lacked the specialized expertise needed to prepare successful applications.

Today, we've grown into a multidisciplinary team of accountants, engineers, and technical specialists who have collectively secured over $100 million in funding for our clients. Our 90% approval rate reflects our commitment to thorough preparation and rigorous compliance.

We take pride in building long-term relationships with our clients, supporting them year after year as they continue to innovate and grow.
