Configure Your Company Hierarchy
This article applies to:Avalara CertCapture
A Company Hierarchy makes it easier to search for customers and compliance documents in CertCapture. Create companies for separate divisions, geographic locations, or subsidiaries of your business. Organize those companies into a Company Grouping to view information from several companies at once. Only Admin users can modify the Company Hierarchy.
After setting up your Company Hierarchy, use the groupings to run a search or report.

Only Admin users can edit the Company Hierarchy.
- Go to Settings > Account Settings > Account Details, and then click the Company Hierarchy tab.
