Steel City Accounting is a contemporary tax and bookkeeping provider that works 100% virtually with cool shops, artists, makers and non-profit arts organizations. Our business started in Pittsburgh, PA, and is aware of the unique tax laws and requirements of this beautiful city. We've spent years developing online processes that streamline workflow while keeping your data private, safe and secure.

Steel City Accounting focuses on implementing fair information practices that are designed to protect your privacy. We handle all information you provide us with the utmost confidentiality. Your personal information will only be shared with members of our firm who need to know this information in order to complete the work you have hired our firm to do. We will not disclose your personal information to anyone outside our firm without your express written permission to do so, or unless we are legally required to do so. For example, if a mortgage lender contacts our office for a copy of your return or information about it, we will ask that you provide written permission prior to our responding to that request.
You should also be aware that anything you tell us during the interview for the preparation of your tax return is confidential, but not protected from the IRS. Privileged communications (those that are protected from IRS authority to compel our testimony) are limited to non-criminal tax advice on matters before the IRS or non-criminal tax proceedings in federal courts. Although we consider any information you provide us as confidential, return preparation engagements are not covered by advisor-client privilege.
If you feel the nature of any subject matter to be discussed requires protected communications, please raise that issue so that we can discuss your possible need to consult with an attorney for legal advice.
