Kintsugi turns the tables with our intuitive platform that effortlessly synchronizes with all your favorite tools. Our pay-as-you-go model ensures you’re only billed for what you need—no hidden fees, no surprises. Experience unparalleled customer support, accurate calculations, and streamline sales tax compliance.

What our customers say
I'm glad we switched to Kintsugi. Not only am I saving money, I'm also getting better service in terms of accuracy.
Yuki Kinoshita
Cofounder of Plufl
This doesn’t feel like a vendor relationship. They actually care and it’s very apparent almost immediately after working with them.
John Roman
CEO of Battlbox
With Kintsugi, we stopped getting non-compliant emails from different states and districts. We save money and can really be hands-off, what a win. We matter enough to be able to know the team and feel confident that they'll take care of us. Secondly, there are real cost savings that end up contributing to our bottom line.
Ben Perkins
Founder & CEO of &Collar
With our previous provider, I was tracking nexus myself and spending time on tasks like being on hold with the Secretary of State’s office, and my accountant and bookkeeper had to stay actively involved, but Kintsugi completely solved this problem by taking over these time-consuming tasks.

President & COO, Symbiome
