Zoho Certified for Avalara's Sales Tax Automation Solution

Avalara, Inc., (http://www.Avalara.com), a leading provider of cloud-based software that delivers a broad array of compliance solutions related to sales tax and other transactional taxes, today announced that Zoho Books, Zoho's online accounting software, has joined Avalara's community of certified solution partners. Avalara's solution partners are software publishers that integrate Avalara's software as a service (SaaS) offering for sales tax management directly into their own applications.

As a result of this partnership, customers can now use Avalara's AvaTax™ capabilities from within the existing workflow of Zoho Books to automatically calculate the final sales tax amount on every invoice. This eliminates the tedious work and complexity of calculating taxes across multiple jurisdictions and helps businesses focus on their core offering.

"We're always focused on helping our clients manage their businesses more efficiently," said Raj Sabhlok, president, Zoho Corporation. "This integration will allow Zoho Books users to leverage Avalara's expertise in handling end-to-end automation of their sales tax calculation, and the filing and remittance process, as well."

Pascal Van Dooren, Chief Revenue Officer at Avalara said, "This partnership allows Avalara to provide its comprehensive solutions to Zoho's customers in a fast, easy, and cost effective way. In today's electronic world it just doesn't make sense to manually manage sales tax. We're pleased to welcome Zoho into our community."
