Partnership & joint ownership accounting

Limited Partnerships, Joint Ventures & Co-tenancies

Clear accounting for shared investments and business ventures. We help partners, investors, and property owners track contributions, understand results, and coordinate financial reporting and tax obligations.

Shared ownership needs clear financial information.

When several people or businesses invest together, everyone needs a clear picture of the money contributed, the income earned, the costs incurred, and the amounts distributed. We organize that information so you can manage the venture and keep participants informed.

Whether you operate a limited partnership, collaborate on a joint venture, or co-own a property, we tailor the accounting to your structure, agreements, and reporting needs.

Accounting support for your ownership structure

Limited Partnerships

We support general partners and those managing limited partnerships with bookkeeping, partner capital tracking, financial reporting, and applicable partnership tax filings. Organized records help explain how the partnership is performing and how activity affects each partner’s account.

  • Partner contributions, withdrawals, and capital balances.
  • Income and expense allocations based on the agreement and applicable rules.
  • Financial information for management and partners.
  • T5013 partnership returns and slips, where required.

Joint Ventures

We help participants coordinate the accounting for a shared project or business activity. From project costs and funding to participant reporting, we organize the records needed to understand the venture’s results and each participant’s share.

  • Project bookkeeping and cost tracking.
  • Participant contributions, advances, and reimbursements.
  • Revenue and expense allocations.
  • Reporting to support each participant’s accounting and tax filings.

Co-tenancies & Co-owned Properties

Co-owned properties require a clear record of rental income, operating costs, financing, and owner contributions. We help co-owners understand property performance and track their respective shares of financial activity.

  • Rental income and property operating expenses.
  • Owner contributions, distributions, and balances.
  • Mortgage interest, principal repayments, and capital expenditures.
  • Ownership-based reporting for each co-owner’s tax preparation.

We review the actual arrangement and supporting agreements to determine the appropriate accounting and filing approach.

From day-to-day records to partner reporting

Bookkeeping & account reconciliations

Keep transactions, bank accounts, and supporting records organized. We reconcile activity and track amounts owed between the venture, its participants, and related entities.

Contributions, allocations & distributions

Track who contributed funds, how income and expenses are allocated, and what has been paid out. We distinguish cash distributions from income allocations so participant reporting is easier to follow.

Property & project accounting

Bring together acquisition, construction, financing, rental, and operating activity. Reporting can be organized by property, project, or phase to help you understand costs and performance.

Financial statements & investor reports

We prepare financial information for partners, owners, and management, including periodic reports where needed. When compiled financial statements are appropriate, we can coordinate a compilation engagement.

Partnership filings & participant information

We prepare applicable partnership returns and slips and organize financial information for participant-level reporting. The work is tailored to your structure and filing requirements.

GST/HST reporting & planning

We help assess GST/HST registration, reporting responsibilities, and eligible input tax credits. For property and joint venture arrangements, we also review transaction-specific considerations and whether an available election may be appropriate.

Support for shared real estate investments

Property investments often bring together multiple owners, sources of funding, and reporting expectations. We help keep the accounting organized throughout acquisition, development, rental operations, and sale.

  • Rental properties: Track rents, operating expenses, financing, and owner distributions.
  • Development projects: Monitor project costs, funding, and financial results.
  • Mixed-use properties: Organize residential and commercial activity for appropriate reporting.
  • Multiple properties: Present results by property while maintaining a clear overall picture.

When a property’s use or ownership changes, we help assess the accounting and tax implications and coordinate with your legal advisers where needed.

Clearer reporting. Easier coordination.

Know where each participant stands

Keep a clear record of contributions, advances, allocations, and distributions so participant balances are easier to explain.

Understand the investment’s performance

See the income, costs, and financial position of the venture, with reporting organized around the properties or projects that matter to you.

Reduce year-end back-and-forth

Consistent records and coordinated reporting help reduce repeated information requests between management, participants, bookkeepers, and tax preparers.

Connect the venture’s accounting with the bigger picture.

Your partnership or property investment may involve corporate participants, holding companies, and external bookkeepers. We can coordinate the venture’s reporting with corporate tax preparation and compilation services, or work alongside your existing accounting team.

Corporate Taxation

Tax preparation and planning for corporate partners, participants, and related companies.

Compilation and Full Cycle Accounting

Compiled financial statements and ongoing accounting support where needed.
