Write a tiny system that does much of the accounting. Call the `ledger` program to do the actual debits/credits so you don't waste time implementing the data storage layer.

At the end of it, you should know more than you thought possible about how the debit/credit DE-bookkeeping stuff works, and why accounts and the books are the structural foundation for any business, not just startups.


just hire some third party to do this for you, it shouldn't cost too much

just ideally find someone who has done this sort of work for people like you before

also, consider using ramp.com as your corp card if applicable, def best tracking/rewards of all of them
