How it works
Bookkeeping work from Pennsylvania
Each client engagement is a monthly routine of categorizing, reconciling and reporting, done in QuickBooks Online, Xero or whatever the client already uses. We are a young firm and take a limited number of contractors, so we do not promise a volume of work. We do not have an office in Pennsylvania, and the work is done online. The larger cities in Pennsylvania that our pages cover include Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown.
If you live near Philadelphia or elsewhere in Pennsylvania, you can work from home; biopharmaceuticals, health care, finance and insurance, logistics, retail, transportation and tourism are among the sectors in the state.
What you need
Requirements
- Your own computer and connection, and a space where client files stay private
- Working knowledge of QuickBooks Online, Xero or comparable software
- Respect for client confidentiality
- Knowing Pennsylvania's filing calendar helps, but it is not required
- Tax form W-9 plus the signed contractor agreement
- Comfort with monthly reconciliations and clear client communication

Pennsylvania details
What to know about Pennsylvania work
The state tax agency is Pennsylvania Department of Revenue. You do not need to be an expert in its rules, but you should be comfortable reading its notices and knowing which filings belong to the client and which to their tax professional.
We do not hire for a location. A Pennsylvania bookkeeper works from home, in the client's own file, on a monthly schedule.
What it pays
Pay and terms
Pay is set one on one: a short call, then a written rate before any client work begins. Nothing is posted publicly. The arrangement is independent contractor work, you pick what to take, and a 1099 comes at year end.
A plain note: this is not legal advice, and we are a young company that deliberately keeps the team small, so early contractors see more of the work as it grows.

That depends on client demand, and we do not promise it.
What does it cost to join?
There is no fee at any stage.
