Personal Finance Management System (PFM)

Stack: Python Flask · MySQL · Ubuntu Server · Nginx · Gunicorn · Groq API (free AI) App URL: https://pfm.ngodanguyen.tech Code: /home/pfm/web · User: pfm · Gitea: gitea.ngodanguyen.tech

1. Project Overview

Self-hosted personal finance web app. Tracks income, expenses, investments. AI assistant powered by Groq API (free tier, fast inference, no local hardware). Receipt OCR via Groq vision model. Bank account sync via Teller API (mTLS) and Schwab Developer API (OAuth 2.0). Bank statement import (CSV, OFX/QFX, PDF). Everything runs on Ubuntu server behind Nginx + Certbot SSL.

Status: All 7 phases complete + all post-MVP features implemented.

2. Core Features (Implemented)

2.1 Dashboard

  • Net worth snapshot (assets − liabilities)
  • Monthly cash flow bar chart (6 months)
  • Budget utilization per category
  • Recent transactions feed (last 8)
  • AI daily insight card (Groq-generated, stored in DB)
  • Savings Rate stat card — net cash flow ÷ income for the selected period; green ≥ 20%, blue > 0%, red negative
  • Schwab expiry warning — banner shown when Schwab refresh token expires within 2 days
  • USD → VND exchange rate widget — reference only, independent of app currency
    • Click to expand 30-day history chart
    • ↻ refresh button (force-fetches fresh rate without page reload)
    • Source label shown (yfinance / exchangerate-api)
    • Stale indicator if rate > 1 day old
  • Period selector: This Month / Last Month / Custom date range
  • Credit card accounts display "owed" balance (positive Amount Owed) not raw negative

2.2 Transactions

  • Income + Expense entry with Income/Expense tabs
  • Transfer between accounts
  • Filter: search, category, account, date range (safe int parsing — no crash on bad params)
  • Pagination (30/page)
  • Receipt upload (PNG/JPG/WEBP/GIF/PDF, max 10MB)
  • AI Receipt OCR — drag-drop receipt image → Groq vision extracts amount/date/merchant/category → auto-fills form
  • Re-extract from already-uploaded receipt (edit mode)
  • Inline category change — Category column is a <select> dropdown; change fires AJAX POST /transactions/<id>/set-category with no page reload
  • Export to CSV / Excel
  • Edit form: receipt sub-forms are outside #txnForm to prevent nested-form bug

2.3 Accounts

  • Types: checking, savings, cash, credit_card, crypto, investment, other
  • Balance source of truth:
    • Teller-linked accounts: balance comes from Teller API (live refresh or after sync); calc_balance is NOT called on page load for these
    • Schwab-linked accounts: balance comes from Schwab snapshot sync; calc_balance is NOT called on page load for these
    • Unlinked accounts: balance auto-calculated from all transactions via calc_balance
  • Teller badge (blue) shown on account cards linked to Teller
  • Schwab badge (green) shown on account cards linked to Schwab
  • Per-account action buttons for provider-linked accounts:
    • Teller: Refresh (live balance AJAX), Sync (transaction preview), Reset (90-day resync)
    • Schwab: Balance & Positions (snapshot sync POST), Transactions (preview link)
  • Color + icon picker; soft delete
  • Credit cards show "Amount Owed" (positive) and "This Month" charges
  • Opening balance field on account creation (negative for credit cards = starting debt)

2.4 Categories

  • Expense + Income categories with color/icon
  • System categories (protected from delete)
  • Custom categories (user-created)
  • 14 expense + 7 income defaults seeded on init

2.5 Budget Planner

  • Monthly limits per expense category
  • Progress bars: green → amber (80%) → red (100%+)
  • Rollover unused budget to next month (toggle)
  • Copy previous month's budgets in one click
  • Unbudgeted spending shown with "Set Budget" prompt

2.6 Goals & Savings

  • Goals with target amount, target date, color, icon
  • Contribution tracking + history
  • Progress bar + projected completion date (based on avg monthly contrib)
  • Auto-complete on 100%
  • Emergency fund tracker (liquid assets vs 3-month / 6-month expense targets)

2.7 Investments

  • Asset types: stock, ETF, crypto, real_estate, bond, cash, other
  • Buy/sell/dividend/split transaction log
  • FIFO cost basis auto-recalculated from transaction log
  • yfinance price auto-fetch (daily 4PM weekdays via cron)
  • Manual price refresh button (portfolio page)
  • Live ticker check on add form
  • Doughnut allocation chart + per-asset-type breakdown
  • P&L per holding + portfolio total
  • "Sync Schwab" button (topbar POST) — runs snapshot sync for all mapped Schwab accounts, redirects back to investments page
  • Per-account sections — when investments span multiple accounts (e.g. Individual + Roth IRA), holdings are grouped into one card per account, each showing account name, total value, and holdings table. Allocation sidebar also shows "By Account" breakdown
  • investments.account_id FK — each Schwab-synced holding is stamped with its source account; same ticker in different accounts (AAPL in Individual vs Roth IRA) stays as separate rows
  • Holdings table uses a Jinja2 {% macro %} (reused across single and multi-account views)
  • Price history chart on investment detail page — 1W / 1M / 3M / 6M / 1Y timeframe buttons; fetches from /investments/api/price-history/<ticker>

2.8 AI Financial Assistant

  • Chat UI with SSE streaming (Groq API, word-by-word response)
  • Context: last 90 days transactions + budget status + goals + investments
  • 8 suggested question buttons
  • Daily auto-insight generated at midnight (stored in ai_insights table)
  • Manual "Generate Now" button
  • Chat history page
  • Model: llama-3.3-70b-versatile (default) or llama-3.1-8b-instant (fast)
  • Fallback messages for rate limit / invalid key / unavailable

2.9 Receipt OCR (Groq Vision)

  • Model: meta-llama/llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct
  • Drag-drop or click-to-upload on new expense form
  • Extracts: amount, date, merchant name, category suggestion, notes
  • Maps category suggestion → system category ID
  • Auto-fills form fields with green flash animation
  • Re-extract button on existing receipt (edit mode)
  • Auto-triggers OCR when image file selected in edit mode
  • Handles fenced markdown JSON output from LLM
  • Sanity check: rejects amounts < 1000 (catches garbage values)
  • Full error handling: 400/401/429/timeout/bad JSON

2.10 Reports & Export

  • Monthly / Quarterly / Yearly summary reports
  • Tax year summary (all income by source, all expenses by category)
  • Net worth history line chart (from monthly snapshots)
  • Category spending trends (top 6 categories, 6-month line chart)
  • "Snapshot Now" manual button
  • Export: CSV, Excel (color-coded, formatted), PDF (WeasyPrint)

2.11 Settings

  • Profile: name, email, timezone, currency, Groq model
  • 8 currency options (USD/VND/EUR/GBP/JPY/AUD/CAD/SGD) — auto-updates symbol
  • Password change (requires current password)
  • Two-Factor Authentication (TOTP) — enable/disable TOTP 2FA; setup shows QR code + manual key entry; disable requires password confirmation
  • Audit Log (/settings/audit) — paginated log of login, 2FA, password, and bank-connection events with IP address; filterable by event type
  • Recurring rules: CRUD, pause/enable, frequency (daily/weekly/biweekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly)
  • "Run Now" button to process due rules immediately
  • CSV import: upload → preview with ⚠ warnings → confirm
  • Upcoming recurring transactions (30-day view)

2.12 USD → VND Exchange Rate

  • Reference widget only — not used in transaction calculations
  • Primary source: yfinance USDVND=X (Yahoo Finance forex)
  • Fallback: open.er-api.com (free, no key)
  • Sanity check: rate must be > 1000 (rejects garbage values)
  • force_refresh() — always fetches fresh on cron, bypasses cache
  • DB caches one record per day (fx_rates table)
  • Dashboard: shows rate, date, source, stale warning, ↻ refresh button
  • 30-day history chart (click widget to expand)

2.13 Teller Bank Sync

  • Connects US bank accounts via Teller API (mTLS + HTTP Basic Auth)
  • Bank Connections page (/teller/) — connect/disconnect only; no sync buttons here
    • Shows: institution name, connected date, last synced, account list with linked PFM account names
    • "Map Account" button for unmapped accounts
  • Accounts page — all Teller action buttons live here per account card (see §2.3)
  • Transaction sync: preview → confirm → import; after import, live balance fetched from Teller API (not recalculated from transactions)
  • Duplicate detection using Teller transaction ID (Teller:<id> in notes)
  • Balance refresh: uses ledger field for credit cards (amount owed), available for bank accounts
    • Credit card ledger forced negative (our debt convention: -abs(ledger))
  • Auto-categorize: keyword match on description (auto_categorize from bank_import_service) first; Teller category field as fallback
  • Income/expense type: positive Teller amount = income (credit), negative = expense (debit)
  • Webhook: transactions.processed event with HMAC-SHA256 signature + 5-min replay protection
  • Config: TELLER_APP_ID, TELLER_ENV, TELLER_CERT_PATH, TELLER_KEY_PATH, TELLER_WEBHOOK_SECRET
  • Models: teller_enrollments, teller_accounts (2 tables)

2.14 Schwab Bank Sync

  • Connects Schwab brokerage/IRA accounts via Schwab Developer API (OAuth 2.0)
  • OAuth flow: GET /schwab/connect → redirect to Schwab with PKCE state → GET /schwab/callback → exchange code → store tokens
    • State parameter included in auth URL (fix for "OAuth state mismatch" error)
    • SCHWAB_REDIRECT_URI must match exactly what's registered in Schwab developer portal
  • Account hashes: Schwab requires hashValue (encrypted account number) in all API paths
    • On connect: calls GET /trader/v1/accounts/accountNumbers to get {accountNumber → hashValue} map
    • account_hash stored in DB is always the hashValue, never the raw account number
    • On reconnect: existing SchwabAccount records updated in-place (by hash, raw number, or masked display) to preserve pfm_account_id mapping
  • Account mapping: each Schwab account → PFM account (or create new); stored in schwab_accounts
  • Transaction sync: preview → confirm → import; uses same duplicate-skipping as other providers
    • After import: live balance fetched from Schwab API (not recalculated from transactions)
  • Balance + position snapshot (POST /schwab/snapshot/<id> or "Balance & Positions" button):
    • Fetches GET /trader/v1/accounts/{hash}?fields=positions
    • Updates linked PFM account balance from currentBalances.liquidationValue
    • Upserts Investment records for each long position, matched on (ticker, account_id)
    • Asset type mapping: EQUITY→stock, ETF→etf, MUTUAL_FUND→etf, FIXED_INCOME→bond, CASH_EQUIVALENT→cash, unknown→other
    • Position zero-quantity and empty-symbol positions skipped; null positions array guarded
  • Investments sync: topbar "Sync Schwab" button on investments page → POST /investments/sync-schwab → runs snapshot for all mapped accounts (ignores stale connection_id — always uses active connection)
  • Token auto-refresh: access token expires 30 min; refreshed automatically before API calls
  • Refresh token expiry: refresh_token_expires_at tracked in DB; reset on every successful token exchange; dashboard warns when ≤ 2 days remain
  • Account type map: CASH→checking, MARGIN/IRA/ROTH_IRA/ROLLOVER_IRA/TRADITIONAL_IRA/401K/ROTH_401K/BROKERAGE→investment; unknown types fall back to 'other'
  • Config: SCHWAB_CLIENT_ID, SCHWAB_CLIENT_SECRET, SCHWAB_REDIRECT_URI
  • Models: schwab_connections, schwab_accounts (2 tables)

2.15 Bank Statement Import

  • Sidebar link: "Import Statement" under Money section
  • Supported formats: PDF, OFX/QFX, Chase/BofA/Citi/Capital One/Discover/Amex/USAA/Wells Fargo CSV, Generic CSV, Custom column mapping
  • Auto-categorizes using 200+ keyword rules across 14 categories
  • Preview table: per-row checkboxes, editable category dropdowns
  • Duplicate detection: OFX FITID (import:<id> in notes) or date+amount+description+account
  • AJAX-based: no page reloads

2.16 System Logs Viewer

  • Log file: logs/app.log (rotating, 10 MB, 5 backups)
  • Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS|LEVEL|module.name|message
  • Viewer at /logs/: colour-coded pills, free-text search, module filter, auto-refresh, clear, download

  • investments.account_id — nullable FK to accounts.id; NULL for manually-added holdings, set to PFM account ID for Schwab-synced holdings; enables per-account grouping on portfolio page
  • investments.shares / avg_cost_basis — recalculated from investment_transactions (FIFO) for manual holdings; overwritten directly by Schwab snapshot for synced holdings
  • transactions.notes — used to store import source IDs: Teller:<id>, Schwab:<activityId>, or import:<fitid>
  • schwab_accounts.account_hash — Schwab hashValue (encrypted account number), required in all API paths
  • teller_enrollments.access_token — stored as TEXT (widened from VARCHAR(128)); encrypted at rest via EncryptedText TypeDecorator
  • schwab_connections.access_token / refresh_token — TEXT, encrypted at rest; refresh_token_expires_at reset on every token exchange
  • users.totp_secret — base32 TOTP secret (VARCHAR 64); NULL when 2FA disabled

Migration Scripts

scripts/add_investment_account.py   — adds investments.account_id column (run once)

6. AI Integration — Groq API

Chat + Daily Insights

  • Model: llama-3.3-70b-versatile (default) / llama-3.1-8b-instant (fast)
  • Context: last 90 days transactions, budget status, goals, investments (anonymised)
  • SSE streaming: stream_chat() yields data: <chunk>\n\n
  • Daily insight: non-streaming, stored in ai_insights table, max 400 tokens

Receipt OCR (Vision)

  • Model: meta-llama/llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct
  • Input: base64-encoded image (JPEG/PNG/GIF/WEBP)
  • Prompt: structured JSON extraction (amount, date, merchant, category, notes)
  • Temperature: 0.1

Bank Statement PDF Parsing

  • Text extracted by pdfplumber then sent to llama-3.3-70b-versatile
  • Max 30 K chars sent per request
  • Scanned PDFs rejected with clear error message

Free Tier Limits

Metric Limit
Requests/day 14,400
Tokens/minute 500,000
Cost Free

7. Teller Bank Sync

  • mTLS: client cert + key from TELLER_CERT_PATH / TELLER_KEY_PATH
  • HTTP Basic Auth: access_token as username, empty password
  • Endpoints: GET /accounts, GET /accounts/:id/balances, GET /accounts/:id/transactions
  • All API errors logged with status code + full response body
  • Webhook: HMAC-SHA256 Teller-Signature header; 5-minute replay window
  • Balance convention: credit cards use ledger (amount owed, stored as negative); bank accounts use available
  • After transaction sync: live balance re-fetched from Teller API instead of computing from transactions

8. Schwab Developer API

  • OAuth 2.0: SCHWAB_AUTH_URL + SCHWAB_TOKEN_URL
  • State parameter sent in auth URL (CSRF protection)
  • Account identification: hashValue from /trader/v1/accounts/accountNumbers (NOT raw account number)
  • Token refresh: access tokens expire 30 min; auto-refreshed via _ensure_fresh(connection)
  • Endpoints:
    • GET /trader/v1/accounts/accountNumbers → {accountNumber: hashValue} map
    • GET /trader/v1/accounts?fields=positions → accounts list with balances + positions
    • GET /trader/v1/accounts/{hash}?fields=positions → single account
    • GET /trader/v1/accounts/{hash}/transactions?startDate&endDate → transactions

9. Bank Statement Import

  • Route: /bank-import/ (blueprint bank_import_bp)
  • Parse: POST /bank-import/parse (AJAX, multipart with X-CSRFToken header)
  • Import: POST /bank-import/import (AJAX, JSON with X-CSRFToken header)
  • Duplicate detection: OFX import:<FITID> in notes; CSV/PDF: date+amount+type+description scoped to account_id

10. Account Balance Rules

Account type Balance source When updated
Unlinked (no provider) calc_balance() from transactions After every txn add/edit/delete; on accounts page load
Teller-linked Teller API available (bank) or ledger (credit card) After Teller sync; when Refresh button clicked
Schwab-linked Schwab API liquidationValue After Schwab sync; when Balance & Positions clicked

Key rule: accounts page load calls calc_balance ONLY for accounts NOT in teller_map or schwab_map. Dashboard does NOT call calc_balance (reads stored values).

11. Logging System

  • Config key: LOG_FILE_PATH (default: <project-root>/logs/app.log)
  • Handler: RotatingFileHandler — 10 MB per file, 5 backups
  • Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS|LEVEL|module.name|message
  • Namespace: logging.getLogger('app') at INFO; propagate=False
  • Schwab snapshot sync logs: number of positions returned, per-position symbol/type/qty/mapped-type

12. UI/UX

  • Sidebar: collapsible (desktop state saved in localStorage), mobile overlay
  • Charts: Chart.js 4.x (CDN)
  • Forms: WTForms + Bootstrap 5.3
  • Icons: Bootstrap Icons 1.11
  • Fonts: DM Sans + DM Mono (Google Fonts CDN)
  • Color scheme: #0f172a sidebar, #f1f5f9 body, #10b981 income, #ef4444 expense, #3b82f6 invest
  • CSS: All inline in templates (no build step)
  • CSRF meta tag: <meta name="csrf-token"> in base.html for JS fetch calls

13. Authentication & Security

  • Single-user, Flask-Login, session-based
  • Hashed password (Werkzeug generate_password_hash)
  • SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=True, SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY=True, SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE='Lax'
  • Session idle timeout — configurable via SESSION_IDLE_MINUTES (default 60); enforced in before_request hook
  • TOTP 2FA — optional TOTP second factor (pyotp); setup via QR code; verify endpoint rate-limited 10/min; 30/hr; 5 failed attempts clears pending session and forces re-login
  • Rate limiting — flask-limiter on login (10/min; 30/hr), TOTP verify (10/min; 30/hr), TOTP setup (10/min); storage backend set via RATELIMIT_STORAGE_URI (use Redis in production to share limits across Gunicorn workers; defaults to memory:// per-process if unset)
  • At-rest encryption — Teller and Schwab OAuth tokens encrypted in DB via EncryptedText SQLAlchemy TypeDecorator (Fernet symmetric, key = SHA-256(SECRET_KEY)); columns are TEXT not VARCHAR
  • Audit log — security events written to audit_logs table via app/utils/audit.py; events: login_success, login_success_2fa, login_failed, login_failed_2fa, totp_enabled, totp_disabled, password_changed, schwab_connected, schwab_disconnected
  • CSRF protection on all forms (Flask-WTF); meta tag in base.html for AJAX
  • SQLAlchemy ORM (no raw SQL)
  • Schwab OAuth state parameter validated on callback (CSRF protection)
  • next redirect params validated to start with / (no open redirect)
  • Sentry (optional) — error monitoring; enable via SENTRY_DSN env var; send_default_pii=False

17. Known Issues / Notes

  • wsgi.py has sys.path.insert(0, ...) — required for Gunicorn at /home/pfm/web/
  • FX rate widget: open.er-api.com may return stale values; yfinance is the reliable primary
  • WeasyPrint PDF: requires libpango* system libs on server
  • Bank statement PDF import: scanned/image PDFs have no text layer; must use digital download
  • Schwab: run scripts/add_investment_account.py then scripts/add_security_columns.py once after fresh deploy
  • Schwab: after first connect, run "Balance & Positions" to populate investments; then re-sync if holdings were already added manually
  • Schwab refresh token: Schwab tokens last ~7 days; refresh_token_expires_at is reset on every token exchange (including access-only refreshes); dashboard warns at ≤ 2 days
  • Teller: access_token column is TEXT (widened from VARCHAR(128) to fit Fernet-encrypted values); run scripts/add_security_columns.py to apply
  • Teller: development environment only; requires cert/key from Teller Dashboard
  • Rate limiter: defaults to memory:// per-process if RATELIMIT_STORAGE_URI is not set — effective limit is stated_limit × num_workers; set RATELIMIT_STORAGE_URI=redis://localhost:6379 in production
  • EncryptedText TypeDecorator: key = SHA-256(SECRET_KEY); changing SECRET_KEY invalidates all stored tokens (requires reconnect)
  • MySQL does not support NULLS LAST; use func.isnull(column) for null-last ordering

19. To-Do / Roadmap

High priority

  • Mobile responsiveness pass — sidebar auto-collapses on mobile; tables scroll horizontally (base.html mobile CSS improved; further work needed)
  • Budget alerts — email/Twilio SMS when category spending hits 80% / 100%

Medium priority

  • PDF export memory — stream CSV/Excel exports for users with large transaction history
  • Receipt MIME validation — validate file magic bytes server-side, not just extension
  • OCR ownership check — verify re-extracted filename belongs to current user's transaction
  • Bank import progress — show per-row import progress for large statement files

Low priority / future

  • iOS companion app
  • Shared household mode (2 users, row-level isolation)
  • Bank statement PDF: table-extraction fallback (pdfplumber tables API) before Groq call
  • Dark mode toggle

Completed (removed from backlog)

  • Pagination info — "Page X of Y" added to transactions, AI history, accounts/payments, audit log
  • Schwab IRA account type — IRA/ROTH_IRA/401K/BROKERAGE types added to ACCOUNT_TYPE_MAP
  • Investment price history chart — 1W/1M/3M/6M/1Y chart on investment detail page
  • Schwab auto-sync on schedule — scripts/sync_schwab.py (cron at 7AM daily)
