SEATTLE, Feb. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avalara, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based tax compliance automation for businesses, today announced Kelly S. Mathews LLC (KSMLLC) as a titanium sponsor of Avalara CRUSH, the premier event for transaction tax professionals, which attracts expert practitioners across the tax and accounting industry to discuss a shared vision for the future of global tax compliance.

KSMLLC provides oil and gas industry clients with highly specialized motor fuel tax compliance, consulting, and software implementation services.

As a titanium sponsor of CRUSH DC, KSMLLC will lead a breakout session, provide product demonstrations, and have experts on-site to engage with conference participants, including Avalara customers, business and technology partners, accounting leaders and CPAs, and other industry experts.
