Overall Satisfaction with Avalara AvaTax

We use Avalara to execute tax calculations on all of our customer invoices. At the end of the month, it is my job to reconcile and pay out those taxes or authorize Avalara to pay out the other taxes. This resolves confusion in tax payments and tardiness of those payments. This also helps us keep track of the proper taxable amounts and locations.
  • on time tax payments
  • taxable amounts are correct
  • volume of taxes is much easier
  • breakdown of taxes is easily found and recorded
  • navigation of the site in which we need to find our tax records and files
  • maybe add a reminder alert to the user(s) just in case
  • I like Avalara since it helps me avoid spending too much time on tax filing myself.
  • I like that they ensure the proper filing.
  • I like that they ensure on time filing as well.
  • I like that they check to make sure we are correctly set up with particular states and assist us if we are not.
I am very happy we started using Avalara since the taxes are easier to keep track of.
  • Our company uses QuickBooks Enterprise with Avalara at this time.
In the beginning it was confusing, but for the fact that we were using a new system (QuickBooks) and learning Avalara at the same time. Now its very easy.
In some cases it is easy, in other cases I get scrambled in finding certain things. The headers are confusing to me sometimes and I feel if there were an easier way to navigate I could give a better rating.
We have used these yes. My boss wanted me to save us money and no longer allow Avalara to file for all states. I file for a majority of our states now. I have Avalara file for the more "difficult" states.
Larger companies need this in order to cut down on the headache of tax filing.
