SpeedTax, a provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), fully automated sales tax management solutions, today announced that Diane Yetter, President of Yetter Consulting Services, a nationally recognized sales tax consulting firm, and founder of the Sales Tax Institute, will make regular appearances as a contributor to the SpeedTax Blog.

Yetter has carved out an impressive niche in the sales tax consulting arena with her eponymous Yetter Consulting Services, serving a lengthy roster of Fortune 500 clients, in addition to the SMB community, and building a significant sales tax training practice with her Sales Tax Institute.

Yetter’s first posting – “The Economic Crisis and State Revenue Activities” - was published on the SpeedTax Blog this week. Posing questions such as “How can states increase revenues at times when businesses and individuals are least able to pay?” Yetter’s inaugural posting hints at tough issues to be dealt with in upcoming appearances as a guest contributor.

“We’re very pleased that Diane, whose list of accomplishments and designations is too lengthy to detail here, has agreed to contribute to the SpeedTax Blog. By doing so, she is helping to guide the overall direction of this evolving web log,” said Anton Donde, SpeedTax CEO and recent inductee into Accounting Today’s Top 100 Most Influential People in Accounting. “With the blog’s overall goal of providing substantive, useful, and sometimes controversial material related to the world of sales and use tax, and with Diane’s first posting already completed and more in store, I think we’re well on the way to creating a go-to resource for businesses, and accounting and tax professionals.”
