As an accounting firm, is offering sales tax automation solutions to your clients on your priority to-do list? If not, it should be. Two experts in the area of sales tax automation offer their perspectives on why.

Judy Vorndran has been specializing in sales and use tax compliance and consulting for over 20 years. She says sales tax automation is one of the most effective risk-reducers for accounting and bookkeeping firms that advise companies, especially those operating in operating in multiple jurisdictions.

In general, she says, businesses that have automated “haven’t had large assessments, data is easy to pull, and the auditor is in and out in a very short period of time.” The story can be quite different for those clients relying on manual processes for sales tax compliance.
