What this solves

The Cycle Counting Variances session (whinh8352m000) provides a visual way to analyze inventory discrepancies, helping teams identify patterns and root causes across warehouses and counting activities.

Manage the Complexity of Tax Compliance

Insights from our partner Avalara

Crossroads RMC 0 857 Article rating: 5.0

Sales tax compliance becomes more complex as businesses grow. Expanding into new markets, adding locations, selling online, or integrating systems after an acquisition can quickly introduce new tax obligations.

Many organizations find manual tax processes difficult to manage and scale. Automation can simplify compliance, improve accuracy, and reduce the risk of costly penalties.

When Compliance Gets Complicated

Changes such as the following often create new tax requirements:

• Upgrading or changing ERP systems
• Mergers or acquisitions requiring system integration
• Adding locations or warehouses
• Expanding into e-commerce
• Managing remote employees
• Selling at trade shows across multiple states

Businesses may also struggle with large transaction volumes, exempt products or customers, audit exposure, and tax obligations in complicated states.

Tip of the Week: Ways to Manage the Pain of Losing a Key Employee Before it Ever Happens

  • Sit down with your IT team. Decide how the information will be captured and where it will be stored so that employees have access to it. What software tools need to be used to capture the information? How does it need to be organized? Create a repeatable process to make this easy for your staff.
     
  • Interview the person. Have them talk you through his/her job. What are the things they do every day? What are their biggest challenges? How do they overcome them? 
     
  • Have someone shadow the person for a week. Watch what they do and how they do it. Ask questions. Who does he/she interact with in their department? Outside of their department? Why?
     
  • Find out what tools he/she uses to perform their job? Are there spreadsheets?  Reports within your ERP / outside of your ERP? Separate stand-alone databases? Drawings? Websites? Why does he/she use them?
     
  • Video record how the person does their job. Is their technique critical to “doing it right” the first time and not ending up with a bunch of scrap that you can’t reuse?
     
  • Figure out if the person does anything special on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis that might not come up during the observation period or interview. 
     
  • Map how he/she uses your business system and how that impacts the rest of the company. Understand both the “what” and the “why”. Without this, new employees may end up figuring out what they need to do, but never understand why they need to do it.
