Everyone knows the Volcom brand. They’ve been a major player in the skate, surf, swimwear, and snowboarding clothing arena for over 30 years. The business is fueled by its employees’ penchant for individualism and an “irrational pursuit” of their passions. Thirty years and over 100 global locations, what started as an idea during an epic snowboarding trip to Tahoe in the winter of 1991 has cemented itself as an industry and lifestyle essential.
Today, there is a team of brilliant minds behind the scenes at Volcom. Alyssa Dao and Amy Dietrich are two such people. They help run the accounting and finance department. Peisner Johnson met them in 2020 when their sales tax software provider was leaving them high and dry with no support. Their sales tax software was missing essential capabilities Volcom needed it to have.
We realize trust is built over time, especially when it comes to taxes and finances. We started the discussion with some Canadian and Colorado local returns. Alyssa and Amy quickly connected with our friendly demeanor, strong experience, and problem-solving expertise, and, like so many business owners, they appreciated our flexibility.
A company that has multiple entities and revenue streams (brick and mortar, e-commerce, wholesale distribution, etc.), like Volcom, needs special attention. The value of the peace of mind that Alyssa and Amy experienced is immeasurable.
Peisner Johnson was able to immediately provide support and services for the Volcom team to support their sales tax needs.
PJ was a reliable and responsive extension of the Volcom accounting and finance team. Over the past four years, the Volcom team has been involved in several mergers and acquisitions, during which PJ has completely handled the sales tax compliance. The Volcom team now has more time and resources that are required for the success of their global brand.
