    • About the Company

    In a few short years, this Midwestern based marketing company rapidly grew its client base to over 1000+ enterprise brands.  As demand grew for their digital and SaaS products, so did their nationwide nexus exposures and liabilities – subsequently leading executives to seek expert sales tax advisors.

    The Path to Success

    The Goal

    For many businesses, the 2018 Supreme Court ruling Wayfair v. South Dakota changed the landscape for sales tax remittance. And when state jurisdictions honed in on the taxation of digital products – particularly software as a service (SaaS) –  businesses scrambled for an understanding of their requirements in each state.

    There was a real compliance need for the company to tackle the recent and continually changing sales tax rules that impacted its operations across the United States. Failure to prioritize these matters would have resulted in millions of lost opportunities and significant tax liability.

    Their exposure was complex, but by leveraging PMBA’s expertise, reduced errors by establishing processes and implementing solutions that saved countless staff resources.
