Our take
Online and international sales are increasing rapidly, but as governments become aware of the money flowing across borders, so are the tax rules. For a company that wants to conduct business overseas or expand into new markets, compliance with tax authorities can make business extremely difficult. Enter Taxually, with a cloud-based sales tax compliance platform that calculates taxes owed, handles contact with national authorities and leaves businesses free to do business instead of worrying about accounting.
The tax compliance space is heavily contested, with offerings from Quaderno, Lovat and Sovos to name just a few. However Taxually has an edge in the speed of its processing (under six minutes per calculation) and the breadth of experience of its team, totalling over 200 years in major European tax firms such as KPMG and PwC. This expertise and ease of use has rapidly grown Taxually a large customer base of over 13,000 businesses who trust the platform to automate their VAT processes.
With funding the company is accelerating its growth and further developing its product. It is also hiring talent in engineering and product development as it scales up to pursue its goal of becoming a global leader in tax compliance.
