Overall Satisfaction with Avalara AvaTax

Setting up customized codes is the most challenging part of the implementation; the rest is a breeze.
Easy to use and Ava Tax provides comfort that tax is calculated correctly and remitted to the states timely.
We use AvaTax in finance accounting to calculate sales tax on all invoices as well as sales tax reporting compliance and payment.
  • Calculate state a local tax rates correctly.
  • Remit payments to the states timely and accurately so we get our early payment credits.
  • Maintain archives as support in the event of an audit or for internal reporting needs.
  • Tax calculations for services, exempt or not based on State and type of service.
  • setting up special tax codes that can be customized to the client.
  • Monthly newsletter with Sales Tax updates or changes shared in one place.
  • Only need one staff person to manage admin
  • Works perfect with QuickBooks to calculate and record sales tax payable
  • Easy reconciliation each month
  • QuickBooks
QuickBooks was easily integrated - no difficulties.
We have not used exemption certificate management and are looking at adding that service this year.
In the end we choose to go with AvaTax rather than doing it ourselves as we wanted to make sure we were compliant with the states reporting needs and that all sales tax was calculated correctly on our customer invoices.
If you are looking for a company to outsource sales tax compliance work at a reasonable expense, Avalara is a great partner to strongly consider.
