Independent books

The most important rule of partner mode: books are strictly per person, and mutually invisible.

Why

• Every partner is an independent operator; your tax is your tax (each can bind their own ABN).
• The system only links people under one outward-facing brand via invitation codes.
• Books are never merged, avoiding tax and income-attribution trouble.

In practice

• Outward: one shared business name (one brand).
• Inward: each person counts their own income, expenses and referral fees.
• Partners cannot see each other's money.

Example

Rowan joins Xiqian Removals. The jobs he takes and the money he earns sit under his own name; Bo (the owner) can see the schedule but not what Rowan earned, and vice versa. The books are fully separate.

Relation to \"attributed to\"

Until the full partner mode ships, one shop can tag every record with "attributed to" and the report splits by person. That is the transitional scheme; the target is a fully independent ledger per person.
