How it works
Bookkeeping work from West Virginia
The work is a monthly close for small business clients: categorize transactions, reconcile bank and card accounts, and send clear reports, in QuickBooks Online, Xero or the software the client already owns. 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 the state, and the work is done online. The larger cities in the state that our pages cover include Charleston, Huntington.
Small businesses across the state, from Charleston to smaller towns, work in sectors such as coal mining, natural gas, electricity generation, tourism and logging, so contractors who know a few industries tend to fit well.

What West Virginia clients' books involve
The West Virginia State Tax Department lists a 6% state sales tax rate and a monthly sales and use tax return (form CST-200CU). We confirm your own filing schedule on your State Tax Department account.
Contractors working West Virginia clients tend to see:
- Clean books that your CPA or tax preparer can work from at year end
- The annual report due to the Secretary of State by June 30 (the corporation form lists a $25 fee if paid on time)
- Withholding and unemployment insurance reports for employees
- Monthly sales and use tax returns, prepared for you to file
Many West Virginia owners run a small business alongside other work. We keep the books current month to month so tax time is not a scramble.

West Virginia details
What to know about West Virginia work
The state tax agency is West Virginia State Tax Department. 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 West Virginia bookkeeper works from home, in the client's own file, on a monthly schedule.
What it pays
Pay and terms
Rates are discussed on a short call and confirmed in writing before you take on any client. We do not have a posted rate. This is independent contractor work with a 1099 at year end, and you choose what you accept.
This page is not legal advice. Honest note: we are a young company, and we keep the team small so the contractors who join early get the work as it grows.
