Suited Up for Growth

SLEEFS is a performance apparel brand built by athletes, for athletes. What began as a passion project selling arm sleeves at live events quickly transformed into a fast-growing ecommerce brand.

Fueled by a strong social media presence and a loyal customer base, SLEEFS now serves athletes across football, baseball, basketball, and more, with a growing catalog and a focus on bold, functional gear for young players.

The business runs primarily on Shopify and continues to scale with both organic and paid growth strategies.

Challenge

Bases Loaded, Manual Tax Filing at the Plate

As SLEEFS expanded into more states, staying compliant with sales tax laws became a major challenge. Their previous provider initially offered automation, but that broke down over time, leaving the team with a manual, frustrating process.

They were forced to export and upload order data themselves, which introduced risks, slowed operations, and distracted from growth. With 37 states to manage, they knew they needed a reliable partner that could take sales tax off their plate.

Solution

Stepping Up with TaxCloud

That partner turned out to be TaxCloud. From day one, the onboarding experience stood out: TaxCloud’s team handled the setup, worked directly with state tax departments, and ensured all Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) filings were transferred smoothly.

The Shopify integration automatically pulled in data, helping the SLEEFS team avoid double-filing in cases like Shopify Payments and Amazon. With expert guidance and fast, U.S.-based support, the switch to TaxCloud was easy, and the results were immediate.

“The onboarding process was great. You guys helped a ton doing a lot of the work… It’s hands-off now. TaxCloud is collecting everything and filing on our behalf.” — Jaime, CEO of SLEEFS
