Audits look back years, not months
With Us vs Without us
Software alone, or software plus experts
Tax software calculates rates. It can't read a state notice, defend an audit, or tell you where you owe next.

Rates only
calculations, not compliance
Notices pile up
Software can't interpret a state letter or respond to it for you.
Audits land on you
When an auditor calls, you're the one answering.
Misclassified products and services
A wrong taxability setting quietly over- or under-collects.
Missed nexus
New obligations go unnoticed until a state finds them first.

FAQs
Questions founders ask us
-
Is SaaS taxed?
It depends on the state, and sometimes the city: some cities tax software even when their state doesn't. We map it for every state you sell into.
-
When is my sales tax due?
Your assigned filing frequency depends on the volume of transactions you have within a state. Many states will ask about your expected volume of sales during the registration, while other states will initially default your account to monthly filings. Many states will re-evaluate your filing frequency on an annual basis. Just send us any notices from the state and we will update our task and keep on truckin’.
-
I got a nasty letter from the state. What should I do?
We handle all notices and communications you receive from the state(s) regarding sales and use tax. Simply send anything you receive from the state and we’ll handle the rest.
-
Do you offer sales tax compliance as a standalone service?
Yes, we do offer sales tax as a service, without the need for our team to manage your accounting.
-
What is the difference between annual, quarterly, and semi-annual nexus reviews?
Annual (Essential): Every 12 months, we analyze your business for new nexus triggers. Perfect for stable businesses with predictable growth. We look at sales thresholds, new locations, and major business changes.
Semi-Annual (Professional): Every 6 months, we conduct a deeper dive including remote worker analysis, marketplace changes, and detailed threshold tracking. Ideal for growing businesses that need regular monitoring without being excessive.
Quarterly (Enterprise): Every 3 months we will dig into your nexus. We track everything in real-time - employee movements, sales velocity toward thresholds, legislative changes that could affect nexus. Essential for rapidly scaling businesses or those with distributed teams.
