As a business owner, you are responsible for complying with all local, state, and federal tax laws and regulations. One of the most daunting tasks a business owner can face is a sales and use tax audit — with CereTax you can stay out of harm's way. These audits can be stressful and time-consuming and can often result in penalties or fines. However, with the CereTax solution and our team of best-in-class tax partners, you can protect yourself from an audit and ensure that your business remains in compliance.

CereTax is a comprehensive tax management solution that helps businesses manage their tax obligations, reduce the risk of audits, and automate tax-related tasks. Here are some of the ways that CereTax can help you protect yourself from an audit:

1. Automated Compliance Monitoring

CereTax gives your business automated compliance monitoring, which means that it continuously checks your tax filings to ensure that you are in compliance with tax laws and regulations. If there are any discrepancies or errors in your filings, CereTax will notify you immediately so that you can correct them before they become a problem.

2. Advanced Analytics

CereTax has advanced analytics tools that help you identify potential issues before they become a problem. These tools analyze your financial data and identify any anomalies or patterns that could trigger an audit. By identifying these issues early on, you can take corrective action before they become a problem.

3. Real-Time Reporting

Our solution gives you real-time reporting, which means that you can access your tax information in real-time. This makes it easy to monitor your tax obligations and identify any issues that need to be addressed.

4. Reporting Management

All your reports are stored within CereTax which gives you the ability to access and manage reports as needed. This allows you to respond quickly to any audit request. We also work directly with our compliance partners, who are tax industry experts, to ensure they have all the reports and documentation they need to keep you protected.

5. Audit Defense

Finally, CereTax works in tandem with our compliance partners who can provide audit defense services, which means that if you do get audited, you will have access to a team of tax experts who can help you navigate the audit process. This can reduce the stress and anxiety associated with an audit and help ensure that you come out on the other side with minimal penalties or fines.
