Indirect Tax Outsourcing
By utilizing indirect tax outsourcing with us, you get more expertise to guide you at less cost than hiring full-time employees and investing in necessary compliance software.
More Control + Less Risk = Smarter Compliance
At Clarus Partners, we offer co-sourced indirect tax solutions that deliver the knowledge, flexibility, and cost-efficiency your business needs to stay compliant. This means you get the benefits of outsourcing indirect tax while maintaining full control and visibility.
Our approach allows you to retain oversight while leaning on our experienced professionals to handle the heavy lifting.
Whether you’re struggling to keep up with changing tax laws, managing multi-state filings, or facing an audit, Clarus brings the resources of a national firm with the responsiveness of a dedicated partner.
What is Co-Sourcing?
Unlike traditional outsourcing, co-sourcing is a true collaborative partnership. We work as an extension of your internal tax or finance department, providing hands-on support and specialized knowledge where and when you need it most.
You decide what to keep in-house and what to offload. We’ll seamlessly handle the rest, from multi-state sales tax registration to ongoing compliance monitoring. Example: If your team manages accounts payable, we can handle sales tax return preparation, exemption certificate management, and audit management and defense, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
