Eleve Architects Accounting

Eleve Architects Accounting is a Laravel monolith with an Inertia React frontend, built for internal client-profile, project, billing, expense and administrator workflows.

The firm needed a secure internal application that could handle finance-facing CRUD modules, authenticated admin workflows, public invoice payment steps and file-backed operations — without splitting the system into disconnected services.

I designed and built the whole product: authenticated workflows, role-aware CRUD modules, billing and expense operations, and the storage behind uploads, logos and payment proofs.

   Mail · PDF · R2-ready file storage

1. 01Centralising authorisation so sidebar visibility and actual route access stay consistent for every role.
2. 02Handling public invoice payment proofs and internal finance review without exposing the rest of the application.
3. 03Supporting local public storage and Cloudflare R2-ready deployment paths for logos and finance files.
4. 04Keeping a growing Laravel and React codebase stable with feature tests across auth, roles, projects, expenses, billing and settings.

1. 01A Laravel monolith with Inertia instead of separate API and frontend applications.
2. 02No self-service registration — /login is the entry point for a controlled internal tool.
3. 03Sidebar rendering and route access driven from one Laravel navigation registry, so authorisation lives in one place.
4. 04MySQL for development, in-memory SQLite to keep the test suite fast.

A working internal ledger that combines authentication — including two-factor and passkeys — authorisation, finance workflows, file handling and test coverage in one coherent Laravel application.
