"I was, and maybe I still am one of the featured Avalara recommendations that they've had in their promotional literature. So I have nothing but good things to say about them. Our company doesn't sell retail now so we don't need the Avalara services, but if we do again, I'll be back. Fred Burckbuchler Nature's Earth Products, Inc. WPB FL"Michael, WI
"This is great to find out what potential bills are being presented, as well as what specific states are doing. More importantly, it is reassuring to know that companies like Avalara are on top of all of the states for recording, reporting, and paying these taxes. Thanks."Terri, ID
