Partnership accounting is important to maintain trust between partners by keeping records honest, accurate, and equitable. A partnership requires at least two people to form by agreement to carry out a legal business with the goal of earning profits, which will be shared between the partners. Partnerships allow for more capital and skills than a sole proprietorship by having multiple partners, but the number is restricted by law depending on the type of business. Maintaining proper accounting helps ensure the partnership runs smoothly and partners are treated fairly.
