Overall Satisfaction with Avalara

Wayfair v South Dakota exposed many companies to sales tax liability in multiple states/jurisdictions. Avalara has mitigated the risks and our exposure by integrating with our existing accounting/ERP platform and seamlessly collected tax data, prepared the returns, and filed/paid for the returns as required in multiple states/jurisdictions. This would have been a full time job for 1.5 to 2 people, but with Avalara we are able to manage/maintain the tax integrity of our business without the need to hire additional staff.
  • Track/Manage tax exemption certificates
  • Track/Report tax exposure by state and keep tally of YTD sales in all states where we sell
  • Integrates seamlessly with our existing accounting/ERP software
  • Calculates and prepares returns
  • Files and pays for us all tax returns and amounts owed
  • None that have been encountered

  • Avalara does the work of one full time and one part time employee for our company at substantial savings!
  • We don't miss filing or payment deadlines ensuring further savings from penalties or interest.
  • The cost of Avalara is a small fraction compared to what we save.
  • Epicor ERP
It was automated and easy. Our ERP software has built in integration to Avalara, so there were only a few minor items to configure or tweak to have Avalara correctly calculate sales taxes in all venues where we sell.
Intuitive and many of our non-accounting employees access features daily.
  • Avalara Returns
  • CertCapture
Avalara was more intuitive and integrated with our existing ERP.
If reporting and paying sales taxes in multiple states, you will not find a better integrated solution and a great price. We did our [own] investigating for some time before selecting Avalara. They are the best thing going that we have discovered.
