BAINBRIDGE, ISLAND, Wash. – Sales and use tax vendor Avalara has continued on the acquisition path with its merger with Taxcient, a San Diego-based company that supplies Web-based sales tax automation services and also tax filing and compliance services for large businesses. Taxcient, formerly known as vAudit Group, employes a team of former state tax auditors, technologists and financial system industry executives
Taxcient’s CEO Larry Wolfe was formerly an SVP of Intuit. Its chairman, Bill Harris, former Intuit CEO, joined Avalara’s board of directors. Harris was also previously CEO of PayPal.
