📍 About Lehigh County

The Lehigh Valley.

Lehigh County anchors the Lehigh Valley — one of the fastest-growing logistics and warehousing markets on the East Coast — alongside major healthcare systems, manufacturing, and the downtown Allentown revitalization.

We serve businesses across the county — Allentown, and the smaller communities in between.

The PA Tax Angle

A flat state income tax — and a local-tax maze.

Pennsylvania's signature complexity isn't the flat 3.07% state income tax — it's the local layer. Under Act 32, most employers across Lehigh County must withhold a local Earned Income Tax (EIT, commonly around 1% but set by each municipality and school district) plus a Local Services Tax (up to $52 a year per employee), and remit them to a single regional collector by PSD code. We keep your payroll withholding mapped to the right jurisdictions so your local filings stay accurate.

Why Tides

Why Lehigh County Business
Owners Choose Tides.

There's no shortage of bookkeepers in Lehigh County — but most are local firms with hourly billing, slow turnarounds, and outdated processes. Tides was built differently.

Built Remote — Optimized for It

We're not a local firm that went remote reluctantly. We were built remote-first from day one, which means faster delivery, better systems, and no overhead passed to you.

Flat Monthly Pricing — No Surprises

One flat rate based on your transaction volume. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no "extra work" fees. You know exactly what you're paying every month.

Reports You Can Actually Use

We don't just hand you a spreadsheet. Clean, readable reports with plain-language summaries — so you can make real business decisions from your financials.

Beyond the flat 3.07% state income tax, most employers in Lehigh County withhold a local Earned Income Tax (EIT) and a Local Services Tax under Act 32 and remit them to a regional collector by PSD code — and Philadelphia runs its own Wage Tax and BIRT system entirely. We keep your local withholding mapped to the right jurisdiction so every filing is correct.
Absolutely — they're core to Lehigh County. We tailor your books and monthly reporting to your industry, whether that's logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing, so your financials actually reflect how your business runs.
