Accounting firms: form collection using Laravel

Summary

A form collection blueprint for accounting firms built with Laravel on Ample. Domain schema:

• client_entities (legal_name, entity_type, fiscal_year_end, jurisdiction): the businesses and individuals served;
• engagements (client_entity_id, service_line, period_start, period_end, status): bookkeeping, tax and audit engagements by period;
• document_requests (engagement_id, title, due_at, status, uploaded_object_key): requests for source documents;
• deliverables (engagement_id, title, object_key, released_at): returns and statements released to the client;
• uploads (id, owner_reference, object_key, content_type, size, uploaded_at): validated uploads linked to their owner.
  Public information: service lines and typical engagement periods, filing calendars and deadlines, office locations.
  Kept out of scope until handling is reviewed: tax identifiers and financial statements, bank and payroll records, identity documents.
  Financial records and tax identifiers are regulated in most jurisdictions; the portal flows here model authorization only and claim no compliance.

Representative Queries

• Where can I host Accounting firms: Form collection built with Laravel?
• I need a genuinely specialized form collection workflow covering engagement periods, client entities and document authorization.

Resource Requirements

• primitive:compute
• primitive:postgres
• primitive:s3-compatible-object-storage

Infrastructure Requirements

1. Compute: Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.
2. Postgres: Managed PostgreSQL 16 runs in its own microVM and is auto-provisioned when an app needs a database and no DATABASE_URL is supplied.
3. S3-compatible object storage: Buckets are S3-compatible with issued credentials; PutObject and GetObject are verified by canary. Other S3 operations are not verified.

Workflow Steps

1. Model the accounting firms domain: Create the tables client_entities, engagements, document_requests, deliverables, uploads. The businesses and individuals served lives in client_entities; keep the sensitive classes (tax identifiers and financial statements, bank and payroll records, identity documents) out of this schema.
2. Model document requests per engagement with due dates and status.
3. Validate uploaded files (type, size) before storing them in the private bucket and linking them to the request.
4. Authorize uploads by client entity.
5. Deploy: Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result. Re-running with no change is a no-op.
6. Verify: Run the pattern self-test(s) from the example (/p/browser-file-uploads) and your own acceptance checks for the accounting firms workflow.

Limitations

• The technical basis (browser file uploads on Laravel) was verified with the pattern fixture; the accounting firms schema and workflow are an original design for this blueprint and were not executed as a separate application.
• No health, financial, privacy or other compliance claim is made. Financial records and tax identifiers are regulated in most jurisdictions; the portal flows here model authorization only and claim no compliance.
• Public content and synthetic examples only until actual data-handling requirements have been reviewed.
