Written by:
Kelsey Allen, Technical Writer
Nick has been with NorthBridge Consultants since September 2011 and has a bachelor's degree in Engineering from McMaster University (April 2011). Born and raised in Hamilton, he also stayed there for his post-secondary education where he specialized in material science engineering while keeping up with his musical studies as a classical pianist. In his spare time, Nick enjoys reading (fiction), keeping up with the latest on Netflix, and continues to try to keep up with piano practising as well as privately teaching young and hopeful Mozarts their scales and chopsticks.
As a SR&ED team specialist, Nick is involved in managing and assisting a variety of mechanical, chemical, and material science based clients. His main duties are evaluating the technical and financial aspects of their claim submissions while ensuring that clients are receiving their maximum returns and are satisfied after claim reviews. After nearly three years on the job, he has an expert understanding of the SR&ED program and what it entails as well as significant experience with industries ranging from custom gear works to granite countertop development. His favourite part of the job is getting to travel and meet with many people and companies, big and small, and getting to learn how each business runs and operates.
