Case Study: Apex Learning, Inc., a digital curriculum company, achieves automated sales-tax compliance and cost savings with Avalara AvaTax

Apex Learning, Inc - Customer Case Study

Apex Learning, a Seattle-based digital curriculum company that sells online courses to schools nationwide, faced a complex sales tax and exemption-certificate workload: more than 6,000 clients including school districts and government entities and only a small finance team. Daren Toy, the company’s revenue accountant, needed a way to manage certificates and sales transactions without hiring additional staff.

They implemented Avalara AvaTax (and AvaTax University) to automate tax calculations and certificate management. The solution provided a user-friendly interface, strong customer support, and educational resources, enabling the team to work more efficiently, avoid extra hires, reduce costs, and reallocate time to better serve customers—results Daren strongly recommends.
