Bookkeeping services in Pittsburgh, PA

Our plans start at $399/mo for Essentials, $599/mo for Growth, and $1,199/mo for Scale. Most Pittsburgh clients land on the Essentials or Growth plan depending on yearly revenue and how much is going on in the books. Check our pricing page for a full breakdown, or use our calculator to get an estimate based on your business.

A bookkeeper handles your day-to-day financial records: categorizing transactions, reconciling accounts, recording payroll, and keeping your books clean month to month. A CPA focuses on tax strategy, filing returns, and compliance. You need both, and they work best as a team. We get your books tax-ready so your CPA can file without spending hours fixing errors first.

Yes. QuickBooks cleanup is a separate flat-fee project with a free assessment first, and our QuickBooks Cleanup in Pittsburgh page covers the process, timeline, and pricing. If your books are behind rather than wrong, that's catch-up bookkeeping, which has its own Pittsburgh page too. Once the file is clean, a monthly plan keeps it that way.

We don't run payroll or file payroll returns. We know the local rules: which EIT rate goes with each employee's municipality and school district, and which collector gets it (Jordan Tax Service for the city and the Southwest district, Keystone Collections Group for the North and Southeast districts). When what your payroll provider withheld doesn't line up with that or with your books, we catch it and tell you what to fix. We also keep the city's Local Services Tax and 0.55% Payroll Expense Tax on your quarterly calendar so nothing slips.

Virtual works, as long as the bookkeeper actually knows Pennsylvania. Everything we do runs through QuickBooks Online, so there's no shoebox of receipts to drop off. What matters is local knowledge: EIT rates across Allegheny County's 130 municipalities, the city's LST and Payroll Expense Tax, and which collector (Jordan Tax Service or Keystone Collections Group) each district uses. We're based in Cranberry Township, 20 minutes north of downtown, so in-person handoffs are an option when you want one.

All of them. We work with businesses Downtown and in the Strip District, Lawrenceville, Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, Oakland, the South Hills, the North Hills, and the surrounding suburbs from Cranberry Township to Monroeville. Since the work runs through QuickBooks Online, your neighborhood never limits the service.
