The In-Depth Reporting You Actually Need

Customization, especially when it comes to reporting, is at the heart of the CereTax platform. The solution gives you limitless possibilities to customize reports that align with your downstream data requirements and the oversight needs of your stakeholders. The arduous task of reporting is simplified as the platform effortlessly filters, transforms, and summarizes data. This not only expedites reconciliations but also ensures compliance is easy for your team to manage without the need to patch together incomplete reports.

Beyond customization within a single report, you can create any number of custom report templates from scratch, run your reports concurrently, and schedule your recurring reports to run automatically. The solution ensures your team does not have to compromise due to limitations – whether it's one report or two dozen, the reporting you need is right at your fingertips. This level of flexibility redefines efficiency in indirect tax management, transforming what was once a daunting process into a simple workflow.

Flexible reporting options keep you prepared for any audit defense. Rather than running dozens of reports to gather the data for an audit period, your team can retrieve all the necessary data in a single report for the given jurisdiction and lookback period. Legacy systems require frantic last-minute searches and ad-hoc data and reporting compilations – CereTax ensures that your historical data is organized and easily retrievable.

 

These are just a few of the ways CereTax is revolutionizing how businesses manage sales tax when to comes to reporting and compliance. From navigating complex data mappings to interactive analytics and customizable reporting, CereTax was built for the modern tax landscape. The solution’s ability to filter, modify, and summarize data simplifies financial operations, while its historical reporting functionality ensures audit readiness.
