I'm cynical when it comes to these things. I wouldn't have joined a practice as an employee with partnership track without having had access to the books for accepting the position.
As a partner it would be inconceivable to not have access at any time to the complete books. My major concern here is that this situation seems absolutely ripe for fraud and theft. More likely the older guys who aren't working as hard are making money off the backs of the younger partners and they don't want to derail the gravy train.
What does the partnership agreement say about access to the financials of the business? You should be able to figure out your rights.
Do these other "partners" have access to your collections now that you, too, are a partner?
I'm afraid that you missed some major red flags from the outset and now have to dig yourself out of a hole with "partners" who don't seem bent toward transparency.
