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 work ## What Pennsylvania clients' books involve Official sources: [Pennsylvania Department of Revenue](https://www.revenue.pa.gov/) and [Pennsylvania Department of State](https://www.dos.pa.gov/). Rates and deadlines change, so confirm with the agency. We do not give tax or legal advice. Beyond the home office ## Who the clients are likely to be - **Philadelphia** (Philadelphia County): the local economy named in its Wikipedia article includes the University of Pennsylvania (the largest private employer) and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, after the federal and city governments. - **Pittsburgh** (Allegheny County): employers there include the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (the largest employer, with 48,000 employees), with health care, education, technology, robotics and finance as main sectors. - **Allentown** (Lehigh County): employers there include Lehigh Valley Health Network, Air Products and PPL Corporation. Source: Wikipedia, read October 2026. These describe the places, not our work or earnings, and we do not claim any clients there. Pennsylvania details ## What to know about Pennsylvania work The state tax agency is [Pennsylvania Department of Revenue](https://www.revenue.pa.gov/). 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. FAQ ## Pennsylvania bookkeeper contractor questions **Do I need a certification?** No certification is required. List any you hold, and we weigh them with your experience. **What Pennsylvania filings come up?** That depends on the client. Sales tax, payroll and annual filings for a Pennsylvania business are confirmed with the client or their tax preparer, and we do not give tax or legal advice. **Is there work right now?** That depends on client demand, and we do not promise it. **What does it cost to join?** There is no fee at any stage.
