Overall Satisfaction with Avalara

Avalara is used by the Finance department and helps us calculate, collect and remit the appropriate sales taxes via a seamless integration with our accounting system.
  • The integration with Intacct was easy to set up and use.
  • Avalara makes reconciling sales taxes to your GL a monthly basis very easy!
  • Quarterly nexus reviews helps us stay compliant as we grow and the nexus laws change.
  • Pulling in G/L post date from Intacct into Avalara would further help the reconciliation to our G/L since some of our invoices post to the G/L at a different date than the invoice date.
  • Because of Avalara we have not had to hire an in-house tax accountant yet.
Very satisfied! I did the implementation myself!
  • Integrated only with Sage Intacct.
Very easy to do as it took me one afternoon to do myself.
There are times where the UI is confusing and there is a significant delay in updating reports/transactions sometimes delaying the reconciliation process.
We currently use Avalara's return filings and we have benefited significantly considering we have about 7-10 returns to file a month and a very lean accounting department.
Avalara is well suited for fast growing companies looking to gain efficiencies in sales tax compliance and reporting vs. hiring a CPA firm or in-house tax team.
