Avalara

We are a small, family-run business, so I started off handling a little bit of state sales tax for our online retail company. More recently I handle all of the tax-exempt customers we serve. Avalara is a good place to keep all of these tax-exempt records. They also communicate directly with our website so that those customers can go to our site, sign in, and place their orders without having to worry about being charged sales tax. It is a simple process and the help desk was friendly and knowledgeable when it came time to set that up. They have been just as friendly and knowledgeable any time I have had a question. This is a good program to start with when you do not have a tax professional on staff. The steps are easy to understand and troubleshooting is efficient.

We sell products across the country and have established nexus in multiple states. Sales tax calculation became too complicated and time-consuming for us to handle on our own. We needed software that would manage sales tax calculations for us, keeping up with current rates and determining which jurisdictions to collect tax for.

We use Avalara to assist with Sales and Use Tax reporting in various states for sale of merchandise as well as VDA Services.

Avalara, through AvaTax and CertCapture, greatly simplifies our company's compliance with sales tax filings. The representatives are usually very quick to respond when opening a support ticket and are very helpful when needing to ask questions about how to handle new and complex transactions. CertCapture makes it very easy to record tax-exempt forms for clients and reduces the frequency of rebills for customers that were erroneously charged sales tax. AvaTax makes reviewing monthly sales activity for multiple states streamlined, and having Avalara file sales tax returns on our behalf of us allows our finance department to spend less time on the more tedious compliance aspect of sales tax.

We use Avalara (Avatax/Cert Capture). This is used to capture all the tax exempt certificates for our customers and file them properly by state. This takes away the guess work in how much taxes should be applied by using Avatax that is connected to our ERP system, Netsuite.

Avalara is integrated with our accounting software and accurately calculates sales tax for our multistate operation. We utilize CertCapture to maintain exemption status for our customers. Additionally, Avalara does all of our sales tax filings.

We use Avalara for their tax software, certificate of exemption tracking software, and VDA services.

I am currently implementing Avalara in a service industry. The implementation has had some hiccups because there were certain NetSuite set up requirements that were not made known during our initial review of software vendors.

We linked sales tax rates to our main accounting software which updates rate depending on the ship to area. Avalara reducing our invoicing time and made easier to file sales tax in the relevant area.

Our company uses Avalara to manage and organize customer exemptions, calculate appropriate sales tax, and file sales tax returns.

Avalara helps in a few ways. It report all our sales to various state agencies. Avalara also maintain state threshold reports for us. We utilize their API in our bookkeeping software to compute sales tax on all our sales too. Whenever we have a tricky issue, more often than not, they have a solution either by talking to an agent or their website's vast support library.

We use Avalara to generate sales tax liability reports and tax-exempt customer certificates.

I'm a Certified Implementation Partner that has worked with Avalara for many years. I'm certified in AvaTax, Returns, CertCapture, and SST. I also assist clients with Registrations.
I recently worked with Janay Bridges to implement SST for 5 states. She was thorough, knowledgeable, and communicative. The project was completed without a hitch.

We use the Avalara License Managment for Accountants (ALMA) product to maintain various state and local business licenses across the US. In addition to standard authority to do business licenses, we also track our state sales tax licenses in addition to numerous gross receipts based tax returns. Given we are an equipment leasing company we have nexus wherever our leased assets are located which is substantial as a small ticket lessor. Additionally, we have a business unit that provides lease servicing as a service to third party clients. Each client adds incremental license tracking which, while not material in terms of dollars, had become harder to maintain via excel. We initially purchased a product called BLMS which was later acquired by Avalara. The tool has met our needs to centralize all licenses in one application which also includes workflow and dashboard capabilities.

We use this for sales and use taxes collection and compliance.

Tax compliance is our main reason for using Avalara. It is impossible to manage all the different tax Juris without this type of software.

Avalara is being used by our accounting department alongside Quickbooks Enterprise Desktop. It helps us address sales tax nexus as helps with accurate sales tax calculations in the various different tax jurisdictions.

TydenBrooks utilizes Avalara for our tax calculations and tax return preparations. Avalara is linked directly with our Epicor ERP software. AP and AR both utilize the software for managing the taxation of goods sold and paying tax collected into states. Our company has Nexus in all states currently collecting tax from to marketplace, online sales, traveling salesmen, etc. Avalara makes tax apportionment, billing, and filing efficient and streamlined across our company.

We use Avalara to calculate the taxes for our shipments to over 40 states in the U.S. Without Avalara it would be nearly impossible to keep up with the tax rates and rate changes.

We use Avalara on a daily basis for calculating taxes on all of our goods and service. Recently we migrated our ERP software and had to integrate Avalara with our new ERP software.

We use Avalara to collect and remit sales tax on applicable sales. We also use the CertCapture feature in our Wholesale side of the business to properly exclude sales tax on those applicable sales. Without Avalara, we would not be able to be as effective and efficient as we are. They save us time, money, and headaches when it comes to the Sales Tax arena.

We use Avalara Consumer Use to manage our use tax obligations. Within the construction world, we do not have a lot of sales tax, but we have large consumer use obligations, and our ERP system was not adept at identifying the issues. We implemented ACU to save us time on researching every invoice that was hitting our system. We were able to reduce the time in half, thanks to the software. We use Avalara business licenses to manage our growing number of license renewals. Along with around 200 licenses for our base business, we have 7 subsidiaries that we are having to manage licenses for. Between business licenses and contractor licenses, this was becoming an overwhelming task for my small department. We had tried a competitor for about a year and they did a horrible job, so when the opportunity came to work with a company that I have been working with for years, I jumped at it. We were fans of TTR before Avalara purchased them. Their vast construction library was what really drew us in and we were working with them after having a really bad experience with another research product. Once Avalara purchased them, though the only thing I can say is that the service and product have gotten better! It is awesome to have a single company managing all of our tax needs.

We use AvaTax as a main Sales Tax Calculation, and also have Return services. I am extremely happy with AvaTax as I have used it before and used it at my current company, but I wish I can say the same for Returns. Standard Return Service makes it extremely difficult to obtain answers when it comes to returning filing. It also is difficult to reconcile the sales tax account for accounting. Due to the high growth of my company, we require an upgrade to our current AvaTax and are unable to do so because it is tied with the Intact contract. I seem to have no help from anyone whom I reached out to at Avalara.

We ship products to all 50 states and Avalara products have been game-changers for keeping track of sales tax, filing returns on our behalf, storing exemption certificates, and determining nexus.

We use Avalara to calculate our sales and seller's taxes on customer invoices and to file our sales tax returns in 15 states. This helps us to focus on our core business functions and leave the administration of tax rules and calculations to the professionals. We don't have to worry about not being compliant or having the wrong tax rate.
