Solve My Sales Tax Makes Staying Compliant a Breeze 

The United States has one of the biggest economies in the world and is understandably the focus of many companies that are seeking a market for their products. While the country’s 329M people represent a large potential customer base, business leaders who dream of making their fortunes by selling to them still have to grapple with one thorny issue: sales tax. “It’s a lot trickier than you might think,” says Charli Harrell, the CEO and Founder of Solve My Sales Tax, LLC. “It’s so accepted in American society that many people don’t realize that the rules for sales tax vary state by state and product by product. It’s only when businesses dive into it that they see how complex it is. At Solve My Sales Tax, we simplify it, difficult as that may be to believe!”

Charli is one of those people you want next to you when you are reading through the United States’ labyrinth of sales tax regulations. With over six years of experience in sales tax, she founded Solve My Sales Tax because she could see that one simple percentage was causing headaches for countless businesses.

“So many people were getting hung up for days as they tried to stay compliant, and I thought there had to be an easier way that could save them both time and money,” she remembers. “I decided to start an all-inclusive sales tax firm that could help with every sales tax issue that international and domestic companies encounter as they do business in America.”

One of those problems was the sales tax nexus, which many clients struggle to understand. “We created our Nexus Analysis to solve this problem,” Charli explains. “With it, businesses can better analyze their sales data and business activity. We have also become very good at registering businesses for sales tax in the right jurisdiction, which for most people is a big reason why they take so much Tylenol.”

Solve My Sales Tax 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.”

For those who are considering outsourcing their sales tax needs, Charli invites them to reach out to Solve My Sales Tax. “Sales tax is something that seems so small that it barely matters, but staying compliant is very important,” she says. “There are so many ways to get tripped up by the regulations, so if you ever need some help, Solve My Sales Tax is here to make your life easier.”
