Launched in 1999, TaxMatrix was founded on and remains 100% focused on sales and use audit defense, utility studies, and tax recovery. For over two decades, we have serviced a wide variety of clients in need of sales & use tax audit support and defense, as well as cost savings by recouping overpaid tax.
As a sales and use tax consultancy firm, we believe in a “pay it forward” mentality whereby a satisfied client’s reference is far more valuable than approaching the same taxpayer every few years to recover the same unclaimed exemptions.
Our clients enjoy the fruits of our labor: recovered dollars for improved bottom line, custom tax training to mitigate future issues and a complimentary tax help desk. As a national firm, we service every U.S. taxing jurisdiction and every industry.
