Do not mistake the interface for the product. FreeAgent'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 comprehensive small business accounting and admin app inspired by FreeAgent.
Stack: Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, SQLite, and Drizzle ORM.

### Core Features to Implement:
1. **Invoicing & Estimates:**
   - Create and manage professional estimates and invoices.
   - Support line items, taxes, and automatic sequential invoice numbering.
   - Simulate payment tracking (mark as paid manually) and overdue invoice tracking.

2. **Expense & Receipt Management:**
   - Build a "Smart Capture" module where users upload receipt photos (stored locally).
   - Automatically link uploaded receipts to manually entered or imported bank transactions.

3. **Project & Time Tracking:**
   - Implement a built-in stopwatch and manual time logging for billable hours.
   - Allow users to convert tracked time directly into itemized invoice lines.
   - Monitor project profitability (income vs. expenses and time spent).

4. **Radar Dashboard & Insights:**
   - Build a "Radar" dashboard providing a personalized "Admin To-Do List" (e.g., "3 invoices overdue", "5 uncategorized transactions").
   - Display trend spotting for income and expenses over the last 12 months.

5. **Tax & Mileage:**
   - Include a simple Tax Timeline showing estimated upcoming local tax deadlines.
   - Implement a mileage tracker for business trips.

### Technical Requirements:
- The app must run entirely locally with data stored in SQLite.
- Do not add telemetry, ads, or external authentication.
- Support robust CSV import for bank feeds and full data export.
- Exclude live bank feeds, real payment processing, and official tax submission APIs.
- Provide a detailed README on how to run, test, and backup the application locally.
