Avalara's awards for its 2014 Top Performing Partners show that size has a lot to do with performance. The Top Accounting & Consulting Partner of the sales-and-use tax software company was McGladrey and the Top Marketing and Sales Partner was Tribridge. In last year's Top 100 VARs section, McGladrey was No. 1, taking over the top spot with the disappearance of Tectura from the market, and Tribridge was No. 2, and it seems unlikely that those positions will change for the 2015 selection.
