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.
Sales-tax exemption compliance
Your buyer short-paid the tax. Now their orders are on credit hold.
No valid certificate means the invoice goes out with sales tax on it. Your buyer pays for the goods, withholds the tax, and AR opens a dispute that stops the next shipment. Exemption Ledger validates every certificate against the state you ship to, before the invoice goes out.

What auditors look for
Built around the two questions a state audit actually asks.
Evidence
CPA-verifiable reasoning ledger
Every certificate is archived with the exact state statute and the gate that failed 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.
