Trusted by finance teams that made the switch
The CommendaSwitch process
Five easy steps. Live in as little as two weeks.
Your CommendaSwitch team owns the move. You stay focused on the business while we do the work.
Step 01
Consultation
A detailed call with the CommendaSwitch team. We map every system you run and every registration your current provider is carrying for you.
Step 02
Integration
Full integration into your existing systems — ERP, accounting software, and website — handled entirely by Commenda.
Step 03
Transfer
Markets set up, tax-code mapping rebuilt, exemption certificates configured, and your returns and registrations carried across in full.
Step 04
Migration & testing
System migrated, every data flow tested, and your nexus and global thresholds reanalyzed — corrected, not just copied.
Step 05
Go live
Live on Commenda — fully set up, tested, and supported.
Global indirect tax
Everything Avalara does.
Then the entire globe.
Avalara was built around US checkout accuracy. It keeps you compliant at home and exposed everywhere else. Commenda does all of it and carries VAT, GST, and sales tax across 70+ countries — one platform, one dashboard, one partner.
Nexus & threshold monitoring
Economic and physical nexus tracked in every jurisdiction, including the $100K / 200-transaction Wayfair thresholds across all 50 states. Alerts before you cross, not after.
Registration, filing & remittance
US sales tax permits, EU VAT, OSS & IOSS, and APAC GST — registered, filed on the right frequency, and remitted on time.
Exemption certificates & taxability
Certificates managed end to end, with correct per-jurisdiction product and service taxability applied automatically.
ERP & billing integration
Native connections to NetSuite, Xero, QuickBooks and more pull transaction data and post liability to your ledger.
A switch is not a data export
This is your chance to fix what Avalara got wrong.
Most migrations just copy the old setup into a new tool, mistakes and all. We do the opposite. Before a single record moves, we re-examine your real exposure, what you're actually paying for, and how you get supported. Then we correct it.
Wrongful registrations under SSUT
Legacy providers enroll you in programs like Alabama's SSUT — and file you in states where you have no nexus, leaving you with permanent returns and fees on revenue you don't have there. We verify your state and local nexus before we register you anywhere, then unwind every registration you never needed.
A dedicated account manager
Legacy support is a ticket queue and a case number when something breaks. You get a named account manager who owns your compliance and answers for the outcome.
Operations handled, not chased
No more reminders, data requests, and filings tracked by hand across inboxes and spreadsheets. Commenda runs it in-product, with real people on the days that matter.

Questions finance teams ask us.
From your first consultation call, we can have you live in as little as two weeks, system dependent, with a live compliance calendar inside two weeks and through your first filing cycle within 30 days. Your migration team gives you a clear timeline up front.
Yes, it's a core part of the switch. We reanalyze your real economic and physical nexus before we register you anywhere, tell you the truth about where you actually need to be, and unwind every registration you never needed, so you stop paying for obligations you don't have.
One predictable price for the jurisdictions and filings you actually have. No per-call calculation fees, no surprise true-ups. We show you the full number before you commit, and once the unneeded registrations are gone, most teams come in below what they were paying before.
No. Your registrations, returns, and obligations are carried across and validated before you go live, and your thresholds are reanalyzed in the process. Coverage stays continuous.
Very little. After the consultation, the CommendaSwitch team handles extraction, integration, transfer, and testing end to end. Your team stays focused on the business.
