We had tried to navigate a sales tax audit on our own, and it became evident very quickly we needed help – professional help. We were totally disorganized before Clarus, and the systems and processes they have put in place to ensure that we are compliant and able to audit certificates has increased our profitability, productivity, and time. The team at Clarus Partners is very professional, clear, competent, and responsive. And, the AkuCert software by Clarus has also been very helpful in quickly and automatically identifying companies who claimed to be tax exempt, but were not. Not having to worry about that is very comforting.
Randy Boyd
President, AC Supply Co.For us, Clarus Partners is a reliable, responsive business partner that gets the job done. With them, we are able to achieve our objective and come out to a successful conclusion, and we are more efficient and profitable as a result. We are able to outsource to them for a variety of sales tax needs, including conducting something similar to a reverse sales tax audit. They complete an analysis and work with the state to file the returns, which has yielded us a refund culminating to a few hundred thousand dollars over the past several years.
I’ve always had a positive experience with Clarus Partners and they’ve gained my trust. They are helpful, thorough, high quality and have a fantastic reputation in the indirect tax space.

Their expertise is unparalleled in my eyes, and I know I can 100% trust them. They are competent professionals who put clients first.

Partner, Calvetti FergusonThe process was easy. Clarus needed some basic information from me. They did all the heavy lifting. And my business qualified for a substantial benefit.
Linda Motley
Owner, PS the LetterWe were looking for a cost-effective partner that would provide efficiency in process, and Clarus Partners has done just that. Our productivity has increased due to a monthly sales and use tax filing process we built with Clarus. Our tax department can be more productive in their jobs and less focused on the reporting aspect. Clarus Partners has been a focused business partner for us. They are efficient in their processes, and their expertise in processing sales and use taxes has been a big advantage.
John Heggemann
Aegion CorporationFor a large organization, Clarus fulfills our need for a high-value, trusted partner to prepare, file, and submit our sales and use tax returns. They are proactive, responsive, and knowledgeable in supporting us with state sales use tax audits and property tax processes and evaluations. The Clarus team is quite good in the compliance arena, and I enjoy having easy access to higher-level resources within the firm. My group has experienced a 15-20% increase in productivity, and costs have also decreased as the result of working with them.
It is comforting and reassuring to have a company like Clarus Partners on top of all the changes and moving pieces within the tax compliance world. They have provided peace of mind by bridging the gap, leading me from what I didn’t know to having experts that make my company compliant. That’s huge for me!
I would describe Clarus Partners as a knowledgeable, friendly company of sales tax experts who can confidently deliver support and ongoing compliance needs. They go about it in a fantastic way at the right price. It is great to get tax experts who are real humans, compared to their technology company competitors. Clarus Partners responds quickly, they do what they say they will do, and to me, that’s everything in a partner.
Matt Sommers
Founder & Chief Financial Officer, Solid RatioWe had hired another sales tax consultant to help us with our audit initially. The results were very lukewarm, leaving us with a six-figure liability. Our new CPA suggested we reach out to [Clarus Partners]. Even after following up with another service provider who ‘specialized’ in sales tax, [Clarus Partners] was able to decrease our audit by two-thirds.
