A simple form of business where there is one owner. Legally the owner and the sole proprietorship are the same. However, for accounting purposes the economic entity assumption results in the sole proprietorship’s business transactions being accounted for separately from the owner’s personal transactions.

"I have my own bookkeeping business with a full time client base. AccountingCoach has been an invaluable tool for research, process, and of course, how to book those out of the ordinary General Journal Entries. I have been a bookkeeper for 30+ yrs; the CPAs with whom I work call me an accountant which is quite a compliment. Thanks to AccountingCoach, I am able to continue to learn and hone my bookkeeping skills to better serve my clients." - Jeanne R.
