Jazwares' "Toy Code" Revolutionizes Tax Compliance for ANDERSEN TAX LLC Clients

Seattle, WA – October 26, 2023 – ANDERSEN TAX LLC, a leading tax firm based in Seattle, is partnering with Jazwares, a global leader in play and entertainment, to bring a surprisingly effective solution to a surprisingly tricky problem: tax compliance for businesses dealing with complex inventory and sales data. It sounds weird, right? Toys helping with taxes? But hear us out. For years, ANDERSEN TAX LLC has been helping clients navigate the labyrinth of tax regulations. We’re talking about everything from sales tax to international transactions, and keeping everything straight can be a total headache. A big part of that headache? Accurate inventory tracking and sales data. Mistakes happen, spreadsheets get messy, and before you know it, you’re facing penalties and audits. “We were looking for a way to make this process smoother, less error-prone, and frankly, a little less painful for our clients,” says David Anderson, Managing Director at ANDERSEN TAX LLC, from their offices at 1200 5th Ave #1600. “We needed a system that could handle high volumes of data, be easily integrated with existing accounting software, and provide a clear audit trail.” That’s where Jazwares, known for their Squishmallows, Fortnite figures, and other popular toys, comes in. Yes, that Jazwares. Turns out, behind the cuddly exterior, they’ve quietly been developing a surprisingly sophisticated data management system nicknamed “Toy Code.” “It started as an internal solution,” explains Laura Brennan, Jazwares' Head of Strategic Partnerships. “We move a lot of product. We’re talking millions of units a year, across multiple retailers, distributors, and countries. Keeping track of inventory, sales, and returns was becoming a massive undertaking. We needed to know exactly where every single Squishmallow was, at any given moment.” So, they built “Toy Code.” It's not about actual toy coding – it's a robust data tracking and analytics platform originally designed to manage the entire lifecycle of their products – from manufacturing to final sale. It utilizes a unique combination of barcode scanning, RFID tagging (think tiny chips), and cloud-based data analytics. “The beauty of ‘Toy Code’ is its scalability and adaptability,” Brennan adds. “It’s designed to handle massive amounts of data, but it’s also flexible enough to be customized for different types of businesses. We realized it wasn’t just useful for toys – it could be a game-changer for anyone dealing with complex inventory.” ANDERSEN TAX LLC has integrated "Toy Code" into its service offerings, and the results have been, well, impressive. Here’s how it works for their clients: Real-Time Inventory Tracking: “Toy Code” provides a live view of inventory levels, allowing businesses to avoid stockouts and overstocking. It’s like knowing exactly how many of each product you have, down to the individual unit. Automated Sales Data Capture: The system automatically captures sales data from various sources, including point-of-sale systems, online marketplaces, and wholesale distributors. This eliminates manual data entry and reduces the risk of errors. Sales Tax Compliance: “Toy Code” automatically calculates sales tax based on location, product type, and applicable regulations. This helps businesses comply with complex sales tax laws and avoid costly penalties. It's especially helpful for businesses selling across state lines. Audit Trail: The system maintains a detailed audit trail of all transactions, making it easy to verify data accuracy and respond to audit requests. Think of it as a digital paper trail that's always up-to-date and easy to access. Integration with Existing Systems: “Toy Code” seamlessly integrates with popular accounting software like QuickBooks, Xero, and NetSuite, streamlining the entire accounting process. No need to overhaul your existing systems. “We’ve seen a significant reduction in errors and a substantial improvement in efficiency for our clients,” says Sarah Chen, a Senior Tax Manager at ANDERSEN TAX LLC. “Before, it could take days or even weeks to reconcile inventory and sales data. Now, it’s a matter of hours. That frees up our team to focus on providing strategic tax advice, rather than getting bogged down in data entry.” The partnership between ANDERSEN TAX LLC and Jazwares is an unusual one, but it highlights the power of cross-industry collaboration. By leveraging Jazwares’ expertise in data management, ANDERSEN TAX LLC is able to provide its clients with a cutting-edge solution to a complex problem. “We’re excited to bring ‘Toy Code’ to a wider audience,” says Brennan. “We believe it has the potential to revolutionize the way businesses manage their inventory and comply with tax regulations.” For businesses struggling with inventory management and sales tax compliance, “Toy Code” offers a surprisingly simple and effective solution.

And in this case, it really does.”
