I have to pay for their services by the hour, so having my information close to what they want to see helps with that. Think about selling one of the rental properties. You want to be able to produce accounts showing what you really paid on upkeep and the true income. A P&L report is just a summary and your purchaser might want more details. You would not want them to know how much cash you had in the bank, nor what other businesses you operate. Such information could change the price offered. Your tax rules may be clear on separate accounts. I need to show separate bank accounts and separate accounting.
