Former state auditors.
Now on your side.
SA Tax Consulting was founded by veterans of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts — sales tax auditors and supervisors who spent decades enforcing the statute they now help clients navigate.
We understand how audits are selected, how sampling is constructed, how assessments are calculated, and where the state's arguments are strongest — and weakest. That institutional knowledge is the foundation of every engagement.
Sector-specific expertise across the Texas economy.
Sales tax exposure is industry-specific. We bring focused expertise to the sectors most frequently audited by the Comptroller.
