Overall Satisfaction with Avalara
Avalara's AvaTax system is being used in conjunction with QuickBooks by our accounts receivable department to insure sales tax compliance with all taxable sales. Avalara's Returns program is being used by our accounts payable department to insure registration and filing in all states where Nexus has been met.
- Sales tax calculations per Wayfair
- State sales tax returns
- QuickBooks Integration
- Product training for initial setup
- The time spent calculating rates for our staff has been cut completely
- The time spent filing tax returns has been cut by 75%
- We have one staff member required for filing tax returns, and one is required for calculating rates
- Accounting software has been integrated with Avalara
The integration with our accounting software was difficult at first due to the lack of instruction material.
- Avalara Returns
Besides using AvaTax for tax calculation, our company also utilizes the managed returns filing.
We use Avalara as an integration with QuickBooks Enterprise. Before integrating AvaTax, our employees had to manually calculate the tax on sales transactions, register where Nexus has been reached, and file returns.
