Generalists vs Specialists
Sales Tax Colorado takes pride in our team of multi-state sales and use tax specialists. The benefits of utilizing sales tax specialists are well known to many businesses and legal and accounting firms nationwide. Our focus on audit defense, exposure resolution, nexus determination, sales tax planning, risk identification, use tax, refund claims and other areas comes from working in this highly specialized field and following issues nationally for several years.
This focus is what separates a sales and use tax specialist from a general practice CPA or attorney. Sales and use tax specialists devote their time exclusively to sales and use tax issues on a daily basis. They have the training, knowledge, expertise, resources and contacts to get the job done. Specialists can often get to the root issues and apply effective solutions to your sales and use tax issues more efficiently and more cost effectively.
Generalists have a broad overview of your business’s situation; however, they often lack the focused sales and use tax expertise to solve complex issues in specialized areas without doing extensive research. Research alone is no substitute for experience and for knowing the right questions to ask and having contacts to help when issues aren’t clear.
Sales Tax Colorado does not compete with CPAs and attorneys, we compliment them. We are happy to work with accounting and law firms who need our sales and use tax expertise. The education and training of these other professionals typically does not include in-depth focus on Sales & Use Tax. The reality is that sales and use tax is not a core business skill set for most CPAs and attorneys.
Know Where To Get Help
Generalists are professionals whose focus is often on broader areas of business or legal expertise such as income tax and corporate law, but they may want to serve all of their client’s needs. Many accountants and attorneys have little training in sales and use tax law, yet clients often trust them to address all of their tax issues. Unknown sales and use tax issues are embarrassing and costly. If you or your clients need specialized sales and use tax services, we can help.
