Expert partnership accountants in Birmingham
A full range of accounting services for your business partnership.
Partnership Accounting
We can assist in guaranteeing your business’s tax compliance by serving as your representative for your business partnership’s accounting and tax filings. In a partnership, you and your partner (or partners) are jointly responsible for the business’s operations
This includes:
✓ Any financial losses incurred by the business
✓ Expenses incurred for business-related purchases such as equipment or inventory
If you are a partner in a partnership, you will receive a portion of the business’s profits, and you will be responsible for paying taxes and National Insurance on your share.
What partnership accounting and tax work can help you with?
Initially, you will need to register your partnership with HMRC, either through an online application or by submitting Form SA400. If desired, we can undertake this registration process for you since HMRC forms can be daunting.
After registering, HMRC will provide you with a UTR (Unique Tax Reference) and expect you to file tax returns. As a partner, you are responsible for declaring your share of the partnership’s profits on your personal tax return (SA100).
Additionally, the partnership must prepare its own tax return (SA800). For example, if a partnership has two partners, three tax returns will be necessary in total.

Understanding Partnership Accounting
A partnership operates differently from a sole trader or a limited company. Each partner shares the business profits, losses, and responsibilities, which must be recorded accurately. The key aspects of partnership accounting include:
✓ Equity & Capital Accounts – Tracking each partner’s financial stake in the business.
✓ Profit Distribution – Allocating profits and losses based on the partnership agreement.
✓ Tax Filing & Compliance – Completing the SA800 Partnership Tax Return and managing individual self-assessments.
✓ Bookkeeping & Record-Keeping – Maintaining clear financial records to support growth and compliance.
