We understand your time is precious, so here is a succinct and well-crafted series of bullet points explaining why ZacTax is worthy of your consideration as you choose a revenue analysis vendor:

1. Our incentives are the same as yours

ZacTax is the only sales tax vendor that's focused on analysis rather than audit (although we do have a patent-pending audit platform that comes with your subscription). Our primary goal is to provide your organization with the information it needs to make good decisions. When a consultant's financial incentives are tied to audit findings, providing real insight into your data is naturally going to be an afterthought. In fact, we built ZacTax precisely because we couldn't get the information we needed from the other guys.

2. Our prices are reasonable and fixed

We know that purchasing is a pain, and haggling over a percentage point here or there on finder's fees is mind-numbing. That's why we chose to provide a lot of value for a reasonable, flat fee. It's right here on our pricing page. You can budget responsibly because you know exactly what we charge. We'd much rather have a client tell us our prices are too low than search high and low to justify the expense.

3. ZacTax is the best tool for the job

If you're reading this, you're probably either looking at several vendors or are considering buliding something in-house.

The truth is, if you have the resources to do it in house, you probably could. The data that powers ZacTax is 100% yours. You can get it from the same places we do. And if you do have a top-notch set of developers and GIS techs in your IT department, they could probably build something to clean, ingest, transform, aggregate, and display the information on their own. But it's likely to cost a heck of a lot more to build and maintain your home-grown software than it would to pay us (and not to toot our own horn, but it probably won't be as robust). Plus, you get access to the vast network of more than 180 local governments that trust ZacTax.

Maybe you don't have the resources, so you're looking at other vendors. That's great! Please give us all an honest appraisal. And after you've looked at their products, seen the service they provide, evaluated the information they present, and considered the stories they help you tell, we hope you'll take a look at ZacTax as well. We think you'll find it's the most powerful, full-featured, and easy-to-use platform on the market. And you'll probably save quite a bit with us as well.

4. We are former city managers ourselves

We've been in your shoes. We are MPAs with more than 20 years of combined experience managing local governments, and we eagerly give back to the public administration community through talks, podcasting, writings, and sharing code. Our bottom line is not as important as moving the profession of city management forward (otherwise we'd probably charge more). We have a passion for local government that's not just theoretical: we know how hard running a city is and we are here to be a partner. You can call or email us whenever you want, whether it's a question on sales tax or building codes, and we'll do our best to help you out.

And because we've been there, we know that you need more than just analytics. That's why ZacTax is focused on helping you tell your stories once you've settled on a course of action. We're the only service available that's focused on getting you from understanding to decision to consensus.

5. We'll never pressure or harass your staff

Our sales style is the epitome of low-pressure. Take ZacTax for a 30-day test-drive absolutely free. If you don't want to keep it, just don't pay the invoice. We'll be sad for you to go, but we won't give you the hard sell. We're here to make your lives easier, and if we can't do that, we won't pester you about it.

That's it! Five short statements that we hope will convince you to give ZacTax a try. A 30-day free trial is waiting for you whenever you're ready. Thanks for your consideration!
