Company description

Vertex is a leading provider of enterprise compliance technology for global commerce. Our software, data, and services help businesses operate with confidence by automating and governing transaction-based compliance obligations that arise wherever they buy, sell, and move goods and services around the world. At the core of global commerce are transaction-based regulatory requirements that must be calculated, documented, reported, and, in many cases, digitally transmitted to tax authorities in real time. Indirect taxes—such as sales tax, use tax, and value-added tax (“VAT”)—represent a significant portion of these obligations. Unlike direct taxes, which are paid directly by the entity being taxed, indirect taxes are collected from a purchaser and remitted to taxing authorities by the seller or service provider as part of each transaction. These obligations are inherently complex and pervasive. In the United States alone, indirect tax rules vary across more than 20,000 unique taxing jurisdictions, each with its own rates, rules, and reporting requirements. Globally, the complexity is compounded by continuously changing regulations, increasing enforcement, and the growing adoption of digital and real-time compliance mandates. For companies operating across multiple jurisdictions, compliance is not an isolated, periodic activity—it is a requirement embedded in virtually every sale or purchase transaction they execute each day. Vertex helps enterprises manage this complexity by embedding compliance automation directly into the systems and workflows that drive global commerce.
