National Benefit Authority (NBA) is largest Disability Tax Credit service provider in Canada,[2] and a founding member of the Association of Canadian Disability Benefit Professionals (ACDBP). National Benefit Authority has an office in Toronto, but serves clients across Canada.[3]

The company was founded by Akiva Medjuck, who saw firsthand what it was like to deal with physical challenges, from relatives coping with disabilities, including a brother and a sister, both born deaf.[4]
