Ray Bigley, the company's VP of business and corporate development, notes "There will be a different levels of certification for sales tax by Avalara." The levels would start by providing talking points to accountants interested in learning about sales tax.

These would and scale up to such subjects as instruction on installing Avalara on products such as QuickBooks and NetSuite. There will be exams to test applicants.
