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.

"AccountingCoach PRO landed me a job I had been praying for. I have a background in Banking & Finance with basic accounting. However, over the years while working in the bank, I majored in customer service and branch management. When I left the bank, I was out of job for about a year but volunteering in an NGO. I sought a job as a Finance Officer in another NGO (where I am presently working) but I needed to brush up on my accounting skills. AccountingCoach PRO helped me get back on track and I landed the job! And with a lifetime membership, what more could I ask for?" - Marge E.
