Fondo CI Integration

Overview

Set up CI/CD for Fondo startup tax and bookkeeping integrations: run unit tests with mocked filing and compliance data on every PR, validate live API connectivity for tax filing status and bookkeeping records on merge to main. Fondo handles R&D tax credits, quarterly filings, and ongoing bookkeeping, so CI pipelines verify compliance data transforms, filing deadline monitoring, and automated alert workflows.

Mock-Based Unit Tests

// tests/fondo-service.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
import { checkFilingDeadlines } from '../src/fondo-service';

vi.mock('../src/fondo-client', () => ({
  FondoClient: vi.fn().mockImplementation(() => ({
    listFilings: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({
      filings: [
        { id: 'fil_q1', type: '941', quarter: 'Q1-2026', status: 'filed', due_date: '2026-04-30' },
        { id: 'fil_q2', type: '941', quarter: 'Q2-2026', status: 'pending', due_date: '2026-07-31' },
      ],
    }),
    getComplianceStatus: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({
      r_and_d_credit: { status: 'eligible', estimated: 45000 },
      state_filings: { ca: 'current', de: 'current' },
    }),
    getBookkeepingSummary: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({
      month: '2026-03', revenue: 120000, expenses: 85000, net: 35000,
    }),
  })),
}));

describe('Fondo Service', () => {
  it('identifies upcoming filing deadlines', async () => {
    const deadlines = await checkFilingDeadlines();
    expect(deadlines.pending).toHaveLength(1);
    expect(deadlines.pending[0].type).toBe('941');
  });
});

Integration Tests

// tests/integration/fondo.integration.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';

const hasKey = !!process.env.FONDO_API_KEY;

describe.skipIf(!hasKey)('Fondo Live API', () => {
  it('retrieves compliance status', async () => {
    const res = await fetch('https://api.fondo.com/v1/compliance/status', {
      headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.FONDO_API_KEY}` },
    });
    expect(res.status).toBe(200);
    const body = await res.json();
    expect(body).toHaveProperty('state_filings');
  });
});

Error Handling

CI Issue	Cause	Fix
`401 Unauthorized`	Invalid API key	Regenerate at fondo.com dashboard settings
Empty filings list	No active filings for entity	Verify correct entity ID in API requests
Compliance data stale	Sync delay from accounting system	Add retry logic for recently updated records
Rate limit (429)	Too many requests in test suite	Serialize integration tests and add throttling
Missing R&D credit data	Entity not enrolled in R&D program	Check enrollment status before querying credit endpoint
