Keto Brick makes calorie-dense ketogenic meal replacement bars. The company ships across the United States and internationally, and its growth brought sales tax obligations in more states.
The challenge
Keto Brick co-founder Robert Sikes originally managed registration, collection, filing, and remittance manually in Arkansas. Once the business reached nexus in multiple states, the work became too much to manage alongside other businesses and responsibilities.
“Once we grew and reached nexus in multiple states, going through and doing all that manually became too much.”
Streamlined compliance
Keto Brick needed a solution that worked with QuickBooks and Shopify. Kintsugi handled registration, filing, and remittance as new obligations appeared, while giving Robert a dashboard view of current and prior-period tax liabilities.
With one approval, Kintsugi takes care of the next compliance step. The team also provides quick answers when questions come up.
More time and less uncertainty
Before Kintsugi, Robert spent two to three hours on each state where Keto Brick triggered nexus, with registration adding still more work. Automating the process reclaimed dozens of hours and removed the uncertainty of relying on Shopify estimates alone.
“That's just time I don't have to sacrifice. So yeah, that's time earned that I would not want to do any other way.”
