Avalara unveils 'Avalara Aviator' to orchestrate intelligent agents

Written by The Publisher and Editors of Insightful Accountant | Sep 24, 2026, 4:45:00 AM

Avalara has unveiled Avalara Aviator, a new agent hub designed to create a single touchpoint for users to orchestrate intelligent agents that can understand context, coordinate work, monitor variance, and take action.

Aviator’s specialized agents can execute workflows including mapping products to tax codes, validating exemption certificates, reporting tax liability data and configuring custom rules while keeping tax professionals in control of decisions requiring judgment. The goal is to turn days of manual compliance work into minutes of oversight, with a source-backed, audit-defensible record of every action.

Aviator brings purpose-built AI agents into the multistep workflows where tax and compliance work happens. Led by Avi, specialized AI agents monitor activity, recommend next steps, and carry out defined tasks across systems within established policies, permissions, and approval boundaries. Teams maintain visibility into agent activity, control all material compliance decisions and submissions, and preserve audit-ready evidence for every outcome.

Together with Versori, an agentic integration fabric, Aviator is built to make our partnership even more valuable. Aviator gives you new ways to create value for clients and grow your business. You can help clients adopt Avalara’s purpose-built agents, build complementary solutions that bring tax and compliance capabilities into the applications where work happens, and develop advisory, implementation, optimization, and managed services offerings around their evolving needs. Agentic integrations powered by Versori can help you connect those experiences across ERP, commerce, billing, procurement, and proprietary systems faster and with less custom engineering.

Versori is an agentic integration fabric that makes it faster to connect a client's systems to Avalara, whether that's a mainstream platform or something more custom. Just by describing what needs to connect and letting Versori plan and build it. This is especially valuable when a client comes to you with a system that would have historically taken longer to set up. Versori lowers that barrier, so more clients can be brought on and connected smoothly.

 

This means you can deliver more value to more clients, faster. Avalara is excited about the opportunity this creates to strengthen their partnerships and looks forward to supporting partners in making the most of it.

Partnering for Client Success and Growth

The launch of Aviator creates new opportunities to build differentiated client offerings, deepen advisory relationships, expand services engagements, and generate new revenue.

    • Create differentiated offerings for your clients: Use Avalara's agentic capabilities, including Aviator, to develop advisory services and client offerings tailored to their tax and compliance needs. Position this as a flexible way to bring Avalara capabilities into the work you already do for clients.

    • Bring tax and compliance capabilities into your client work: Help clients access Aviator's agentic capabilities within the workflows and systems where their compliance work already happens, so they can get more done with less effort.

    • Onboard and connect more clients, faster: Use agentic integrations powered by Versori to connect clients' systems to Avalara — even custom or legacy platforms — reducing setup time and letting you bring more clients on smoothly.

    • Expand services and recurring revenue opportunities: Develop implementation, integration, optimization, advisory, and managed services around how clients adopt, connect, and extend agentic tax and compliance capabilities.

    • Help clients modernize tax and compliance: Identify clients managing manual reconciliations, changing nexus obligations, certificate renewals, or disconnected systems. Show them how Aviator can monitor activity, proactively surface risks and recommended next steps, help move routine work forward, and preserve audit-ready evidence while clients retain control over material decisions and submissions.

Client Rollout Plans

To ensure smooth adoption and reliable support for all users, Avalara is executing a structured rollout across customer segments:

A. New clients: At GA, every new client purchasing Avalara AvaTax, Avalara Exemption Certificate Management, Avalara Managed Returns, or Avalara Tax Research will receive Aviator from day one.

B. Existing clients: Aviator will be introduced to your existing clients through phased cohorts aligned with renewal cycles, beginning with an initial group in late 2026 and expanding across customer segments in 2027. Clients interested in earlier access can work with their Avalara account team to determine eligibility and next steps.

Together, Aviator and Versori enable you to deepen your role as a trusted advisor, helping clients modernize and automate tax and compliance with greater confidence and less manual effort.
