CI for Accounting

The libraries and helpers in CI are general purpose, so yes they will help you a lot, but not for a specific purpose. They are general tools like hammers and screwdrivers will not specifically help you to build a playhouse in particular.

For an accounting app, you will need to spend a lot of time planning the database structure and your approach in terms of keeping concerns seperate. Any mistakes in that early on will kill you later and you will be rebuilding again and again.

My advice would be to keep the accounting functions and reporting functions and data acquisition functions completely separate. Try to keep everything as modular as possible, so that your unit testing can be thorough and rigorous. This sort of project could take years to get right.

Good luck and best wishes,

Paul
