For freelancers, invoices, time tracking, and expense logs are buildable; payments, tax/accounting reports, bank feeds, client portal, and reliability make it more than trivial.

Build a robust freelancer financial management application inspired by FreshBooks.
Stack: Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, SQLite, and Drizzle ORM.

### Core Features to Implement:
1. **Invoicing & Online Payments:**
   - Create highly customizable, professional invoices.
   - Implement recurring invoices and automatic payment reminder schedules.
   - Allow users to require deposits/retainers on projects.
   - Render invoices as clean PDFs using a server-side HTML-to-PDF library.

2. **Expense Management:**
   - Track business spending via CSV import and manual entry.
   - Support receipt image uploads, linking them directly to specific expenses.
   - Categorize expenses for tax preparation.

3. **Time & Mileage Tracking:**
   - Implement a robust time tracker (start/stop timer and manual entry).
   - Seamlessly pull billable hours into invoices.
   - Build a mileage tracking module to log business trips and calculate deductions.

4. **Client & Project Management:**
   - Maintain a centralized client database (contact info, invoice history, notes).
   - Organize work into Projects, tracking progress and collaborating (single-user notes).

5. **Reporting:**
   - Generate essential reports: Profit and Loss, Expense Reports, and Sales Tax Summaries.

### Technical Requirements:
- The application must be local-first, binding to localhost.
- Store data in a local SQLite database and implement automated nightly backups.
- Implement an accessible, polished user interface.
- Exclude live bank feeds, real credit card processing, and multi-user client portals.
- Provide a comprehensive README covering setup, backup restoration, and configuration.
