Overall Satisfaction with Avalara
We use Avalara to calculate sales tax on our invoices to customers. We have 50+ US legal entities and have different set of nexus for each entity. As such, it is critical to use a software provider to assist with calculating the sales tax on the products we sell. Avalara fulfills those needs for us.
- Correctly calculates sales tax
- Informs us when we have approached or passed economic nexus in states we are not registered
- provides the detail behind the calculations and provides charts that indicates what is taxable and what is not in various states.
- As Avalara is connected to the invoicing system, it cannot be used for cash basis reporting
- Would like to see it reference our system invoice names on the summary screens (currently have to click through to the transactional level to see it)
Do you think Avalara delivers good value for the price?
Yes
Are you happy with Avalara's feature set?
Yes
Did Avalara live up to sales and marketing promises?
Yes
Did implementation of Avalara go as expected?
I wasn't involved with the implementation phase
Would you buy Avalara again?
Yes
- It would be impossible to calculate the tax on all the various items we sell without Avalara.
- Netsuite
- Stripe
- Recurly
- Zuora
- Intacct
very easy to intergrate.
- Professional Services (nexus studies, registrations, backfiling, etc.)
We have considered using Avalara Returns; however, it currently would cost more than if we do it ourselves. With using SST for free, it might be close. Have not considered using Cert Capture of Professional services items. Our business growth is done through acquisitions so not much needed to our legacy items to need these services.
