A two-click integration delivers immediate tax compliance

After previously considering Avalara, Sourcegraph was drawn to Anrok's more modern approach to sales tax compliance—particularly the real-time nexus monitoring that integrates with their HR system to track employee locations.

"Anrok makes my life so much easier,'" Desene recalls. "I'm not having to do quarterly or annual nexus studies as well because it's set up with our HRIS, which has everyone's address. It was pretty much a no-brainer. I was sold after demo one."

When Anrok launched its Stripe integration, Sourcegraph was able to solve their B2C compliance challenge with remarkable ease. The integration process was straightforward and required no engineering resources: it began working immediately, with sales tax being properly calculated and collected the same day.

Global tax compliance with minimal effort

Since implementing Anrok and the Stripe integration, Sourcegraph has achieved comprehensive sales tax compliance across all revenue streams while drastically reducing the time spent on tax-related activities.

"The only time I'm spending is approving the filings at Anrok. I'll get an email once a month to approve returns, but nothing day-to-day." says Desene.

With Anrok's dashboard providing clear visibility into transactions, Sourcegraph's finance team has confidence in the accuracy of their tax calculations. "I get a lot of comfort that it is accurate because in Anrok, I can just go into the transactions and it takes me right back to that Stripe transaction. If anything fails, there's a clear dashboard. I never have this fear that information is missing or that there's a failure I don't know about. It's always a complete data set."

The solution has also delivered strategic advantages. Sourcegraph's FP&A team uses Anrok for cash forecasting, helping them plan for the timing differences between collecting sales tax and remitting it. "It's helpful for them because of that timing difference. Some jurisdictions are filing monthly, some are filing quarterly, so they can see when that cash is going out."

Now remitting in 18 states with sales in 15 countries, Sourcegraph has confidence that they're compliant in the states where tax authorities are most aggressive.

For growing companies like Sourcegraph, managing sales tax compliance across multiple states and sales channels can be overwhelming, especially without specialized tax expertise. With Anrok's seamless Stripe integration and automated compliance features, Sourcegraph transformed sales tax from a stressful liability into a simple, automated process that gives them confidence in their compliance posture.
