Amatino Manucci gave us the earliest extant accounting of double-entry bookkeeping.[1] Manucci was a partner in Giovanni Farolfi & Company, a merchant partnership based in Florence. Financial records that he kept for the firm's branch in Salon, Provence, survive from 1299-1300.[1] Although these records are incomplete, they show enough detail to be identified as double-entry bookkeeping.[1] These details include the use of debits and credits and duality of entries.[1]
