A great companion read is Martin Fowler’s “Accounting Patterns”[1]. Having built and maintained systems that manage financial events for over a decade, I wish I had read these patterns earlier.

I think Fowler's work is an underrated must-read for anyone who works in domains related to moving money. Makes any kind of engineering practices and architecture principles logical and make sense.


Yes, and I was lucky enough to read his stuff on finance within 6 months of starting work! He has some very good design ideas for many things, just as always treat it like things in your toolbox and not dogma.
