It's time for the August edition of QBTalks. Join me today, Wednesday, August 20, 2025 at 2:00 PM Eastern as we look at Five reasons, beyond Sales Tax, why Avalara should be included in your tech stack.
This informative one-hour (CPE eligible) webinar will feature 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.
Accompanying John and Roger will be Jamee Dunn, Avalara's Sr. Strategic Alliance Manager for Business Development who will likely discuss some partnership opportunities for ProAdvisors, Bookkeepers and Accountants.
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.
John and Roger will present various ways that key tax functions that can be automated with Avalara, and also how Avalara’s recent redesigned integration with QuickBooks Online improves accuracy and efficiency for tax workflows.
We will also explore some of the tools Avalara offers for managing 1099's and W-9's. Did you know that Avalara can help your firm manage W-9s and 1099s through to simplify the process by directly importing data from QuickBooks to ease year-end efforts and reduce the risk of late submissions and penalties.
Another area where many firms (and businesses have difficulties) is exemption certificate tracking and Avalara can definitely help with that. Tracking exempt sales is critical to compliance and avoidance of audits and fines from incomplete records. Avalara’s platform provides a secure repository for exemption certificates, making it easy to verify and manage exemptions.
Everywhere you go there are sales and use taxes. We've shown you that in our Sales Tax Tuesday series which Avalara has sponsored over the years. Zip code isn't enough to be confident you are handling Sales Tax appropriately. You can have two entirely different sales tax rates across the street from each other even though the Zip code doesn't change. Avalara's tools break down tax by jurisdiction down to the physical location and look at all the taxing sources no matter how many taxing jurisdictions are involved. Those same tools can generate precise, audit-ready records to ensure accuracy and timely remittances of tax.
And, what about business licensing? Well, Avalara can help with that too. And so much more.
