The PRoblem
Sales tax inside QuickBooks shouldn't feel like a second ERP.
Most tax engines bolt onto QuickBooks with layers of add-on modules, opaque pricing, and ticket-queue support that slows everything down. Finance and tax teams end up spending more time managing the tax software than managing tax.
Clarus takes a different approach. One focused calculation engine, a clean connection into QuickBooks, and US-based tax professionals on the other end of the phone.

How the Integration Works
Built by our team, configured to your operation.
AkuCalc connects to QuickBooks through an integration that Clarus built and maintains. That matters: when something needs to change, you're talking to the team who wrote the code, not a third-party connector vendor.

Built for growing businesses, not enterprise complexity.
Many enterprise tax platforms were built around layers of modules and add-ons. We built Clarus to address the gaps those tools often create inside ERPs like QuickBooks — simplifying calculation, certificates, and licensing inside real operational workflows.
For QuickBooks customers, that means a faster implementation, predictable pricing, and a support model built around direct access to real tax professionals.
