SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avalara, Inc. (NYSE: AVLR), a leading provider of cloud-based tax compliance automation for businesses of all sizes, today announced the availability of Avalara Transfer Pricing Reports for Accountants. This new solution, designed for use by transfer pricing experts and nonexperts working in firms of all sizes, delivers the automation to grow a global tax compliance service, providing U.S. and OECD transfer pricing reports to clients as needed for audit defense.

Transfer Pricing Reports for Accountants automates the transfer pricing documentation process for any firm, supplying control and visibility, while enabling firms with or without in-house transfer pricing expertise to prepare transfer pricing reports for their clients in three simple steps: data collection, documentation review, and report generation.

Firm growth and expanded client services

Avalara's new technology creates templated reports by combining predetermined, fixed benchmarks with a guided questionnaire, designed to simplify and streamline the workflow process. With Transfer Pricing Reports for Accountants, firms can offer clients a value-added service, improve client satisfaction, and enhance their trusted advisor role by delivering timely compliance reporting to international clients.

"As clients continue to expand globally, and tax reporting becomes more expansive and complex, FGMK sees a robust transfer pricing policy as critical for multinational companies," said Michael R. Pearson, CPA, Specialty Tax Partner at FGMK. "Our ability to assist clients in complying with contemporaneous, and often required documentation obligations around their inter-company transactions, as well as opportunities to price and scale our transfer pricing practice, has been rewarding. We recognize that automation is essential to providing the control and visibility required for offering efficient, profitable transfer pricing services. Avalara Transfer Pricing Reports for Accountants simplifies and automates the report generation process, mitigates client audit risk, and supports practice growth and expansion."
