"We have just completed the onboarding process and our first month filing after switching from Avalara (previously TaxJar) to TaxCloud. We remit sales tax in 43 States. So far, it has been a seamless and pain-free experience. Onboarding was transparent and well-organized. We're cutting our costs in half and getting an upgrade!"

‘’I dreaded the relaunch of our websites. At the top of the list: integrating sales tax. We couldn't use the same service as our in-house ERP system and I wasn't prepared for what I'd find and certainly hadn't budgeted for it. Signing up with TaxCloud was a no-brainer! Best and easiest decision I made.’’

"So much easier to work with than Avalara! When we worked with Avalara they never responded to our questions or messages. TaxCloud's team is much more responsive and US-based. We also found they understood issues quickly, and then were able to resolve them with less time spent by us. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for sales tax return assistance!"

It's so simple to use! I don't have to worry about the tax laws because that's what TaxCloud does. The call-in orders all over the USA can be put into their site manually, and it's easy to do! This is the easiest and best way to send the correct taxes to each state!

"We've used many tax service providers in the US, from big names like Avalara to mid-sized companies, and hands down, TaxCloud is the best. What sets them apart is their exceptional customer service and personal approach. Unlike the big companies, they offer a more personalized experience with a dedicated professional who is always there for you. Their response time is incredibly fast, and we've saved thousands of dollars each year since switching. For years, we overpaid, but now we only pay a fraction of what we used to."
