August's QBTalks: 5 Reasons why Avalara should be in Your Tech Stack

Did you know that Avalara handles 'way more' than Sales Tax?  Join Murph, and his guests from "Team Avalara"  for our next QBTalks on August 20, 2025 at 2:00 PM Eastern. 

The reality is that Avalara's automation solutions empower businesses to tackle the complexity and challenges of tax compliance (including Sales Tax). By eliminating manual processes, Avalara enables teams to focus on their strategic work, reducing risks associated with compliance, and saving valuable time.  

During our one-hour (CPE eligible) webinar, John Sallese, Avalara's Director of Strategic Accountant Solutions & Partnerships, and Roger Ingalsbe, a Sr. Implementation Engineer with Avalara, will discuss and demonstrate a variety of features and functions designed to remove the burden of managing tax compliance. We are talking about functions like:

• 1099 and W-9 Support: Avalara helps firms manage W-9s and 1099s through integrated tools, simplifying the process and reducing the risk of late submissions and penalties. The platform allows direct import of data from QuickBooks, automating vendor communications for smoother year-end reporting.
• Exemption Certificate Tracking: Tracking exempt sales is critical to compliance. Avalara’s platform provides a secure repository for exemption certificates, making it easy to verify and manage exemptions. This capability helps firms avoid audit fines, which can be triggered by incomplete exemption records.
• Detailed Reporting and Remittance: Avalara’s reporting tools break down tax data by jurisdiction, helping firms generate precise, audit-ready records. The platform supports flexible filing frequencies, and as tax complexities increase, Avalara’s expertise ensures that remittances are accurate and timely.
  

And that's just a few of the five reasons why Avalara should be part of YOUR Tech Stack. Not only will we discuss more of them during the webinar, but who knows, I might write about a few more in next week's reminder about this months QBTalks .

Accompanying John and Roger will be Jamee Dunn, Avalara's Sr. Strategic Alliance Manager for Business Development who along with Murph will likely discuss some partnership opportunities for ProAdvisors, Bookkeepers and Accountants (time permitting). We all know how long-winded I can be.
