🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so setup_beancounter creates and initialises the databases that beancounter uses. that's the main character job fr fr 👑

and then?? it also runs some initial reports, just to show off some of the features of beancounter. like, it's not just building the thing, it's doing a little demo run so you can see what you're working with. obsessed with that honestly 💅
