Avalara is a cloud-based tax compliance platform that calculates, files, classifies, and manages compliance obligations across sales and use tax, VAT/GST, cross-border duties, communications tax, property tax, and more in over 190 countries. Its AI agents, built on a foundry called ALFA trained on billions of real transactions and 60,000+ regulatory sources, are embedded directly into the ERPs, ecommerce platforms, and billing systems businesses already use rather than requiring a standalone portal. Avalara serves small businesses through enterprise tax departments, with pricing that scales by product, transaction volume, and number of jurisdictions rather than a flat rate.
