    Making Sense of Sales Tax Management with Avalara

    5.0
    Apr 29, 2025
    Avalara is a 'partner' in the truest sense of the word. Their integrations are extremely robust, they help both my company and our clients streamline their sales tax management processes, and Avalara provides some of the most exceptional service I have ever seen. Any one of these aspects would be great. But to have all three is not so common these days.

    Overall, I am happy with Avalara for their exemption certificate management and sales tax filings. The training is very helpful. Customer support could be improved. When compared to other platforms, Avalara performs above. I would recommend using Avalara for your sales tax compliance matters.

Reviewer Insights for: Avalara Platform
Performance of Avalara Platform Across Market Features

Avalara Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

Avalara integrates with our quoting tool, as well as our accounting software to prepare quotes and invoices with the appropriate sales tax for each state and each service. It keeps our business up to date with the changing tax laws.

Like

The integration with our business and accounting software was easy and we have never had issues acquiring our data.

Like

It maintains a constantly updated tax database and reduces errors

Dislike

I do not have any complaints about the software. It works just how we need it to work.

Dislike

1. Customer service is almost non-existent. It is farmed out to call centers and they have no real authority to explain or resolve issues. 2. The turnover in account managers assigned to accounts is unbelievable. It changes on a monthly or almost quarterly basis so there is no one with whom to speak and they are never familiar with anything that was discussed with the prior rep. 3. Billing mistakes can happen too often with Avalara and with no one to speak with, these mistakes are almost impossible to correct.

Dislike

Limited customization capabilities with certain fields. Implementation can be complex and time consuming. Very expensive.
