Say Goodbye to Migraines: Solve My Sales Tax Simplifies Sale Tax Compliance

If a survey were conducted on the biggest annoyances faced by business owners, you might expect responses to include late employees, vendor issues, and cranky customers. “Right up there would be sales-tax compliance,” says Charli Harrell, the CEO and Founder of Solve My Sales Tax, LLC. “It’s a well-known secret in the business world that making sense of the sales-tax system in the United States is a huge headache, which is why at Solve My Sales Tax, we have become sales tax experts. We’re aiming to take sales-tax compliance off that list by simplifying it for everyone.”

If you doubt that one percentage that is familiar to anyone who has ever shopped in the United States has the potential to drive business owners a little crazy, then consider this: the country has over 12,000 sales tax jurisdictions, each one with its own guidelines and exceptions.

“What is so simple from the consumer’s perspective can be a nightmare for a company,” Charli believes. “The ability of Solve My Sales Tax to navigate such a cumbersome system is why we have grown so fast in only six months and are set to expand in 2023. Businesses are more than ready to turn their sales tax issues over to us.”

At the heart of Solve My Sales Tax is a comprehensive suite of sales tax issues that address the challenges that small and large businesses encounter when doing sales tax.

“A lot of clients struggle with understanding when they have triggered a sales tax nexus,” she says, “so we created our Nexus Analysis to solve this problem. With it, businesses can better understand their sales data and business activity. We have become very good at registering businesses for sales tax in the right jurisdiction, which for most people is a big relief.”

Solve My Sales Tax also routinely sets up an entire streamlined system with the software of its clients’ choice that connects to their POS system and simplifies/automates sales tax compliance. 

“It’s all designed to free owners from the aggravation of sales tax compliance so that they can concentrate on running their companies,” says Charli. “They can leave those pesky sales tax details to us.”

Recently, Solve My Sales Tax introduced “One Simple Monthly Price,” which packages the company’s services into easy-to-understand price structures. Charli reveals that this has been very popular, especially with businesses that in the past struggled to forecast how much they would need to spend on sales tax.

“We got rid of the old hourly billing structure, which was ambiguous and hampered companies’ efforts to create accurate budgets,” she states. “Now we have one simple monthly price that our clients can depend on, and that has been very helpful for them.”

She gives an example of a simple price structure that is popular with small businesses. For clients who need sales tax filings in three states and do not use a sales tax software, Solve My Sales Tax charges $375 for three filings and $400 for two hours of consulting each month. 

“It also includes free Notice Management and Monthly Nexus Analysis, for a total of $775/month,” she says. “It is one simple monthly price that companies can rely on.”

For companies who wonder about the value of outsourcing their sales tax needs, the average amount that small emerging businesses spend on sales tax compliance is $11,000 each month.

“That is a sizable chunk out of their revenue, but it’s even worse for small-to-mid-sized businesses: $17,000,” says Charli. “Think about how much you have to pay a sales tax accountant. How would you like to save about half of that by outsourcing to us and using sales tax automation software? That’s money you can invest back into your company and grow even further.”

As the United States’ sales tax regulations are legendary, Solve My Sales Tax sees clients from around the world. “It’s one of the benefits of working remotely,” Charli believes. “We can easily pivot and meet the needs of our clients, including accounting firms that use us on a white-label basis. Solve My Sales Tax is very adaptable.”

So, if you ever find yourself in the position where the very words “sales tax” make you want to pull your hair out, give Solve My Sales Tax a call first.

“Really, turn it over to us!” Charli invites. “At Solve My Sales Tax, we know all the ins and outs of the United States’ sales tax system. We can save you a lot of time and free you of aggravation. After all, one percentage and everything that lies behind it is not worth losing your hair!”
