Do not mistake the interface for the product. Hurdlr's durable value is banking, compliance, trust, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

Build a powerful local-first financial tracking app for independent contractors inspired by Hurdlr.
Stack: Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, SQLite, and Drizzle ORM.

### Core Features to Implement:
1. **Automatic Mileage Tracking:**
   - Build a mileage tracker with "Smart Tagging" simulating AI: memorize recurring routes and auto-categorize future trips based on past data.
   - Calculate potential tax deductions based on mileage.

2. **Expense & Income Tracking:**
   - Support robust CSV import from various bank formats.
   - Build a receipt capture system storing images locally and linking them to transactions.
   - Implement auto-categorization rules to identify tax-deductible expenses.

3. **Tax Estimation & Management:**
   - Create a live tax calculation engine that estimates federal, state, and self-employment taxes based on net income.
   - Provide a quarterly and year-end tax breakdown dashboard.
   - Build a "Deduction Finder" UI that highlights potentially missed deductions.

4. **Pro-Level Accounting:**
   - Generate professional invoices and track their payment status.
   - Automatically generate Income Statements (P&L), Balance Sheets, and Trial Balances.

### Technical Requirements:
- The application must operate entirely locally with SQLite.
- Ensure complete data privacy; no telemetry or third-party tracking.
- Provide a polished, fast UI that works well on desktop and mobile web.
- Exclude live bank integrations and real-time IRS tax filing APIs.
- Write focused unit tests for the tax estimation logic.
- Provide a clear README explaining how to run the app and backup the local database.
