Sales-tax exemption compliance

One missing certificate is a $50,000 assessment.

Exemption Ledger is the system of record for resale and exemption certificates, built for B2B finance teams shipping taxable goods across state lines. We validate every cert against the state you ship to and chase renewals before they lapse, so when an auditor tries to extrapolate one bad form across your whole history, there isn’t one to find.

The process

From certificate backlog to audit-ready, posted line by line.

  1. 01

    Post your certificate backlog

    Connect Stripe or QuickBooks read-only, or drop in PDFs. Nothing in your billing is touched.

  2. 02

    Adjudicate every cert by state

    Vision AI reads each form and flags the ones the destination state would reject on audit, with the exact rule cited.

  3. 03

    Chase renewals before expiry

    Renewal campaigns open months ahead of the expiration date. No manual follow-up, no lapsed forms.

  4. 04

    Close with a CPA-ready ledger

    Produce a verifiable audit package on demand. Every decision recorded with the statute behind it.

What auditors look for

Built around the two questions a state audit actually asks.

Exposure

Retroactive exposure score

An auditor who flags one error extrapolates it across your entire audit window. We tally your real retroactive dollar liability by state, buyer, and certificate type, so you see the number before they do.

Evidence

CPA-verifiable reasoning ledger

Every certificate is archived with the exact state statute and confidence score behind its verdict. Your CPA reviews the whole trail without a paid seat.

Parsing

Certificate adjudication

Confirms each cert meets the destination state’s specific form requirements, not just that a document was uploaded.

Rules

51-jurisdiction matrix

Thirteen states reject out-of-state certificates outright. Every form is checked against the state you ship to.

Renewals

Automated chase campaigns

Expired certs stay live until an auditor catches them. Renewal sequences open months before the form lapses.

Sync

Stripe & QuickBooks

Read-only sync surfaces invalid certs and flips tax-exempt status the moment a cert validates or lapses.

Who it’s for

For controllers and VPs of Finance running multi-state B2B sales.

If you ship taxable goods to exempt buyers across state lines, your certificate database is a liability until every form is validated against the state you ship to. One gap found on audit extrapolates across years of transactions.
