Sales tax is a niche specialty in accounting and finance. Despite the complexity and amount of work it can take to effectively manage sales tax, those tasked with handling sales tax in their companies often have much broader job responsibilities than solely focusing on sales tax.
Here’s the thing… internal resources simply may not be able to adequately address the full scope of your company’s sales tax compliance needs and provide the strategies necessary to guide you forward. That is why having an external sales tax advisor can be a game changer.
A sales tax advisor can provide immense value regardless of your company size or industry. Services can range from fully outsourced sales tax responsibilities to project-based solutions that can be tailored to meet your needs.
This 90-minute webinar will teach you how to derive the most benefit from a sales tax advisory relationship from both the client and advisor perspective. It will give prospective clients a framework to select the best type of sales tax advisory relationship based on their business model and structure. Advisors will learn how to clarify their service offerings and find out best practices for educating clients on the nuances of sales tax. More details

The sales tax landscape is in constant flux and has grown deeper in complexity for most businesses following the South Dakota v. Wayfair decision. To manage growing sales tax responsibilities, businesses are increasingly seeking out external advisors to provide the support and expertise needed to ensure their sales tax compliance.
If your business lacks the internal capacity to stay on top of sales tax requirements, engaging a sales tax advisor (or investigating if your accounting firm already provides sales tax services) will be well worth your while. This webinar will guide you through the things you need to think about in selecting an advisor and advisory model – from evaluating your specific industry needs to the sophistication of your tax department.
For advisors, understanding these types of considerations prospective clients are making can help you get very clear on the types of services you want to provide and what is included in your engagement agreements. Given the increased demand for sales tax guidance, advisors have the opportunity to support clients in new ways and create business growth for their practice by providing sale tax services.
This 90-minute webinar is taught by sales tax expert Diane Yetter of Sales Tax Institute, successful sales tax advisor Keela Ross of Wipfli LLP, and practice development specialist Jeremiah LaRue of CPA.com.
