This company provides a suite of cloud-based solutions designed to improve accuracy and efficiency by automating the processes of determining taxability, identifying applicable tax rates, determining and collecting taxes, preparing and filing returns, remitting taxes, maintaining tax records, and managing compliance documents. In 2017, the firm processed an average of over 16 million tax determinations per day.
The Avalara Compliance Cloud combines an advanced database of broad, deep, and up-to-date tax content with technology for executing compliance processes, including tax determination, tax document management, and returns preparation and filing. Its platform powers a suite of solutions that enable businesses to address the complexity of transaction tax compliance, process transactions in real time, produce detailed records of transaction tax determinations, and reduce errors, audit exposure, and total transaction tax compliance costs.
The company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay some debt as well as for general corporate purposes, which it currently expects will include headcount expansion, continued investment in sales and marketing efforts, product development, general and administrative matters, and working capital.
