ABOUT AST
AST is a full-service, comprehensive state sales & use tax (SUT) advisory and compliance services firm.
Everything we do is focused on state sales & use tax. That means no competing interests for audit, consulting, or income tax preparation resources. We combine tax expertise and outstanding customer service with best-of-breed technology tools to provide an automated solution for filing returns and remittances.
Our service does not end with the filing of returns and remittances. We handle all notices, questionnaires and other inquiries from state and local jurisdictions that are likely to occur once you register to collect and remit sales & use tax. A true in-house tax partner to support your company.
who we ARE
We are CPAs, former corporate officers, accounting staff responsible for tax compliance and former employees of state governmental agencies.
Our roots are in public accounting firms and in providing sales & use advisory and return services. We believe in and support the entrepreneurial spirit, and our efforts level the playing field for companies struggling to stay compliant with 11,000+ sales & use tax jurisdictions.
who we serve
We have a long-standing tradition and deep experience working with the founders/owners, entrepreneurs, and institutional investors of middle-market and lower middle-market companies.
- Companies who have licensed sales & use tax software and have come to learn that configuring and managing the software on an ongoing basis requires tax expertise and assistance in decision-making activities that can have a domino effect on other state and local tax matters.
- CFOs frustrated by the increasing complexity in sales and use taxes in a post-Wayfair decision environment.
- Companies under-served by their tax advisors who don’t have deep sales & use tax expertise nor provide end-to-end compliance service
