CertKeeper is a software solution and service for tax managers to keep track of their exemption certificates being issued by their company to vendors. Some of the key benefits of the CertKeeper system are:

• Reduces the time in responding to vendor requests.
• Verifies if requests have been previously communicated.
• Controls the outflow of exemption certificates.
• Creates a proactive solution in dealing with exemption certificates.
• Educates the company on the importance of certificates and when they are to be used.

A growing need exists today for a solution that enables a tax manager to take control of issued exemption certificates. Under the Streamlined Sales Tax agenda, the vendors of goods gain an improved level of protection and more of the burden is placed on the supplier of the exemption certificates. With CertKeeper, you will have the assurance that the correct certificate has been utilized and filed correctly.

CertKeeper builds the bridge between the tax department and other accounting and sales areas to allow one user the power to oversee all outgoing certificates. A tiered user level system is utilized to allow the system to adapt to your company approval needs. Non-signatory employees can generate exemption certificate requests and create the initial form. The tax manager or other supervisor can submit a signature and approve the mailing of the certificate to the needed party.

CertKeeper allows for:

• Purchasing employees can submit requests for approval of mailing of exemption certificates.
• Accounts Payable employees have access to previously sent certificates, with proof of submission date, to contest invoice discrepancies.
