Receipt: accounting flows you can reconcile (not vibes).

Pocket Watch / Books Breezy — Store-Shipped Mobile Accounting Suite
We turned bookkeeping into a product you can actually use daily: a finance app with real accounting bones — budgets, bills, ledger, actuals, net worth.
Built a mobile-first accounting suite with serious internal structure: Chart of Accounts, budgeting, bill calendar, journal entries, actuals vs budget, net worth, onboarding/banking sync flows/subscription gating, and operational guardrails to scale safely.
Outcomes
- Budgeting logic structured around real account groupings with editable budgets and start dates.
- Bill calendar supports recurring + one-time bills with per-occurrence paid amounts and paid dates.
- Actuals quadrant supports statements, date-range presets, and drill-down to filtered journal entries.
- Net worth implemented as a balance sheet with liquidity ordering + current ratio calculation.
- Subscription tiers + free trial gating + banking limits + deactivation messaging implemented.
Deliverables
- COA management + tier gating patterns
- Budget creation/editing with start date, due dates, and pay period logic
- BillModel: PayPeriod, datesPaid, amountsPaid, currentBalance patterns
- Bill calendar UX (month/week, mark paid, edit paid amounts, exclude occurrences)
- Actuals statements: list + date-range presets + empty states + filters + compare-to-budget navigation + drilldown to journal entry lists
- Operational improvements: onboarding flow, tier gating, bank limits, cleanup tasks, account management screens
- Banking/ops constraints: bank limits by tier, cleanup tasks, onboarding toggles
- PDF export direction (income statement export + branding hooks)
- Security + account management direction (PIN, sign-on options, deactivate/close flows)
