Web-Based Accounting System
Production-style accounting engine with GAAP-minded double-entry.
Overview
Accounting Pro is a robust web accounting system designed to mirror high-end ERP capabilities in a streamlined dark-themed interface. It enforces double-entry discipline so journal entries cannot save unless debits and credits balance within a strict tolerance.
The product covers the full operational lifecycle: chart of accounts, accounts payable/receivable, tax mapping, FIFO inventory layers, payroll, fixed asset depreciation, and multi-currency translation into a base currency for a clean trial balance.
It ships with role-based access (Admin, Accountant, Viewer), invitation-only onboarding, rate-limited auth, audit logging, and a live demo deployment for hands-on evaluation.

Real-world usage
Where this kind of system shows up outside a portfolio context.
- Small businesses needing structured books without enterprise ERP cost
- Accountants managing AP/AR, payroll, and inventory in one system
- Startups validating multi-currency and inventory costing rules
- Teaching double-entry, trial balance, and year-end close mechanics
Challenges
- Keeping every posting balanced while supporting complex documents
- Implementing true FIFO cost layers that survive partial withdrawals
- Hardening auth, invites, and rate limits for a multi-user system
What I learned
- Accounting rules are product requirements, not optional polish
- RBAC and audit logs are essential once more than one role exists
- Multi-currency forces careful separation of document currency vs base currency
