Personal project, turns a raw accounting file into structured financial statements (PCG, SIG, balance sheet, cash flow) and exports them to Excel, 100% automatic.
An accountant needed, as part of a Master's thesis in accounting, a tool capable of turning a raw accounting file (trial balance or general ledger) into usable financial statements according to French accounting rules, with no manual entry at all. Doing the work by hand (mapping accounts to the PCG, computing the SIG, the balance sheet, the cash flow, Excel formatting) is long, repetitive and error-prone.
A personal project born from a concrete need, as part of a Master's thesis in accounting. A clear split: the accountant provided and validated the business rules, and I designed and coded the entire application.
The difficulty was not the accounting calculations themselves, but producing them from real files that are rarely clean: the app had to stay reliable whatever the shape of the file dropped in, and faithfully translate into code the French accounting rules provided by the accountant, without ever distorting the domain.
A Next.js application that runs in the browser (Next server):
Next.js / TypeScript. The value of the project: turning a demanding business domain (French accounting) into a fully automated pipeline that is tolerant of real-world data.
