New to tax automation

Many tax technology providers automate basic calculations but fail to scale alongside growing business complexity. They lack proactive insights and lock teams into manual, error-prone workflows. Without real-time visibility into expanding nexus obligations and accurate transaction data, compliance turns into a constant resource drain fraught with exposure. Meanwhile, general-purpose AI tools generate plausible answers without the audit-ready certainty or statutory citations required for tax filings.

Backed by 20+ years of compliance expertise, Aviator provides the speed of modern AI on a foundation you can defend.

Current Avalara customers

Your Avalara products already handle the heavy, deterministic work of calculation, filing and certificate management. But your team still spends critical hours on the research, reconciliation and exception handling between those systems.

 

Aviator coordinates specialised AI agents across your existing workflows to automate the connective tissue of compliance – removing manual gaps, saving time querying data, and responding to audits while keeping you in full control.

Technology and systems integration partners

Embed agentic compliance capabilities directly into ERP, ecommerce and billing platforms to establish the foundation for modern AI-powered tax and compliance operations. Partners can use Avalara’s agentic integration functionality to deliver intelligent, autonomous workflows to their customers within their own platform ecosystems.

FAQ

Aviator works today with Avalara AvaTax, Avalara AvaTax for Accounts Payable, Avalara Returns, Avalara Exemption Certificate Management (ECM) and Avalara Tax Research. More products are being added on an ongoing basis.

Unlike generic LLMs or ungrounded AI startups, Aviator relies on Avalara’s proprietary deterministic tax engine. Generative AI is strictly used for orchestration, unstructured document extraction and statutory synthesis, with 100% of outputs mapped to verified tax laws and confidence-scored before data is presented.

No. Aviator is designed for governed autonomy and keeps you in control at critical stages. Although background agents automate research, reconciliation and data validation, critical actions such as return submissions, rule overrides, exemption approvals and other high-liability actions require explicit human sign-off.

Newer tools typically focus on automated billing for narrow tech stacks, and lack enterprise ERP connectivity, global tax depth and a proven audit defence track record. Aviator pairs the speed of agentic AI with enterprise-grade scale: 1,400+ signed partner integrations and 20+ years of battle-tested regulatory intelligence.

Aviator generates an immutable provenance audit log for every transaction and filing. You can reconstruct the exact statutory rules, jurisdictional rates and exemption validity active at the millisecond the transaction occurred, giving your team absolute confidence responding to audits.

There’s nothing extra to set up. Aviator launches directly inside the Avalara Portal experience you already use, working with the products and subscriptions you already have: no new integration, agreement or opt-in required. Existing customers are automatically granted access at their next AvaTax or Returns renewal following General Availability.

 

If you’re a new customer, Aviator comes standard as part of your Avalara experience – once your account and products are up and running, Aviator is available automatically, with no separate setup or configuration step required on your end.
