# Centjes

Plaintext double-entry accounting for the paranoid.

Status: Ready to play around with.

## Goals

* Make it easy to file tax declarations.

* Automate as much as possible.

* Make it _very_ hard to make mistakes.

## Pipeline

External Providers

  --[ Import ]-> Raw Data

  --[ Cleaning and Standardising ]-> Baked data (`.cent`)

  --[ Query ]-> Reports

* Raw data is not committed

* Baked data is committed, as declaratively as pragmatic

Assumptions:

* Raw data is going to be in shitty condition.

  For example:

  1. Not UTF-8

  1. Csv but not separated by commas

  1. Raw PDF files

* Raw data will not be correct.

  We will need a mechanism to correct it, and not forget about the correction.

  Banks and Brokers are notoriously terrible at getting currency conversions correct.

## FAQ

* Q: Why do I need to declare accounts?

  A: To help avoid typos

* Q: Why do I need to declare currencies?

  A: To help avoid typos, and so that `centjes` can figure out the right precision to use in calculations.
