See right through us

A guiding principle at Numeral is transparency. We have two fixed fees. And you pay only when you use our services. No monthly subscription fees. No variable pricing. No surge pricing. You’ll never be surprised by how much your sales tax filings cost.

And Numeral lets you know how much sales tax you collected compared with how much you paid to the state. Avalara won’t. They simply tell you how much you paid to the state, and you’ll never know if you’re under-collecting sales tax.

Created by ecommerce sellers for ecommerce sellers

Numeral was created by folks just like you. They’ve created and built multi-million dollar ecommerce stores and know the importance of configuring your store correctly. Correct categorization is the launch pad for correct sales tax collection. And the team at Numeral helps you with that setup. AvaTax won’t.

No long-term commitments

If you have commitment issues, Numeral is the place for you. No contracts lock you into pricing agreements you don’t understand. You’ll go month-to-month. We’ll provide you with our signature white-glove service, meaning you’ll only spend a few minutes each month dealing with sales tax. You can walk away anytime if we’re not making your life easier. Unlike Avalara, you’ll have to commit to a contract.

Virtual mailboxes for everyone

Paying sales tax in 50 states comes with A LOT of snail mail. Dozens of pieces of mail each month. And a lot of it isn’t important. With Numeral, you’ll receive a virtual mailbox for all your sales tax correspondence.

We manage their sales tax, so they can focus on growing their business.

We had many issues with TaxJar including late filings which incurred penalties, incorrect tax filing resulting in $5700 more paid in taxes, complexities around state onboarding, and non-existent customer support. Numeral provided complete onboarding, prompt customer service, rapid feature additions based on customer input, and so much more

I was spending way too many hours every month... And if you wanted someone on customer support from my tax service, there was no one. Numeral has made it easy to identify and know the tax laws. And then on your behalf, registering, managing everything, is kind of taking the worry off of my plate.

I found Avalara very confusing and I felt like it didn’t do what it promised. With Numeral, I can trust that all filings are being done correctly in all the relevant jurisdictions. And that’s all I wanted. This enables me to scale Explorer seamlessly without ever thinking about the hassles of managing sales tax.
