Hi! I’m Laura Outlaw

I help E-COMMERCE companies become and stay sales tax compliant.

 
 

Work with me

 

Sales tax compliance can feel like navigating a minefield—state and local regulations are constantly evolving. Staying on top of these changes is not only challenging but can also be costly if overlooked. I help simplify this complexity and ensure you're always safe, compliant, and informed while taking the stress off your plate. Below are my core services, but if you’re unsure what you need, please schedule an introduction call and we can discuss it.

1

Sales Tax Exposure Assessment

One-time

This includes an intro call, a report identifying the states where your company should be registered (where you have “nexus”) + past exposure, and a consultation call to discuss the report.

2

sales tax process implementation

one-time

I register your company in agreed-upon nexus states and work with your team to implement a reliable and audit-ready sales tax process. After 3-6 months, I will transfer the process to your team or roll your company into the advisory retainer or full solution offering.

3

Sales tax Consulting and Research

one-time (minimum 1 hour)

If you have specific questions or concerns you would like addressed, I offer consulting calls. I can answer many questions off the top of my head, but for those that I can’t, I will research and follow up to ensure you get a satisfactory answer.

Sales Tax Full Solution

I operate as the end-to-end sales tax function for your company, ensuring timely return filings, responding to state notices, registering in new states, etc. (Audit support is not included in the fee, but I guarantee my availability to support an audit.)
