Solaris Automates Sales Tax Compliance and Transforms Finance for Multi-Entity SaaS Company
SaaS company required a scalable sales tax compliance solution to support its multi-subsidiary structure and evolving ERP environment. Solaris was engaged to implement Avalara across all subsidiaries, configure nexus registrations, automate sales tax returns, and integrate the platform with both the legacy billing system and later Sage Intacct. We also trained comapny’s finance team to manage ongoing compliance independently after project roll-off.
The Challenge: Multi-Subsidiary Compliance and ERP Transition
The company operated across several subsidiaries with sales activity creating nexus in multiple states, but lacked a centralized process for tax registration and return filing. Initial manual reporting created inefficiencies and compliance risk. During the engagement, they transitioned to Sage Intacct for billing and ERP, creating additional complexity around transaction data integration with Avalara to ensure returns were accurate and complete.
The Solution: Avalara implementation and ERP Integration
Solaris configured Avalara for all the company’s subsidiaries, registering them in the states where nexus was achieved and enabling automated return filings. We imported historical and current transactions from the legacy billing system into Avalara to validate reporting completeness. As the company implemented Sage Intacct, we integrated Intacct directly with Avalara, ensuring seamless automated transaction flow and ongoing compliance. Finally, we trained the finance team to independently manage Avalara for future compliance, including reporting, reconciliations, and nexus monitoring.
“Solaris guided us through a complex multi-subsidiary compliance project seamlessly. Their hands-on expertise with Avalara gave us the confidence to own the process going forward.”
The Impact: Automated Compliance Across Subsidiaries
The company achieved full sales tax compliance across all subsidiaries with minimal manual effort, supported by Avalara’s automated return filing and ERP integration. The transition to Sage Intacct was completed without disruption to tax reporting, creating a long-term scalable framework. With Solaris’s guidance, Team front’s finance team was fully equipped to manage sales tax compliance independently going forward.
Solaris implemented Avalara for Saas Com, automating sales tax compliance across all subsidiaries, integrating with both legacy billing and Sage Intacct, and enabling ongoing self-sufficiency for the finance team. The project streamlined compliance, reduced manual workload, and ensured scalability for future growth.
