maybe this could do it? https://akaunting.com/ but not sure about that rfid thing, sounds like a solution nobody could offer out of the box, more like a job for some software house to build for your use case
Due to this thread I actually stumbled across Akaunting Which is free/open source accounting software.
You can host it yourself, or use their cloud for free and it supports multiple users/companies. Just found it, but it definitely sounds interesting.
They aren't entirely free. Their business model is explained here: https://akaunting.com/blog/a-year-to-the-day
Also, it is open source software.... lots of open source software is also free and development supported by people who donate their time. :)
I believe Akaunting have what you're looking for. Just use the expense feature for your finances and create a login for your partner to have access to it to plus own different wallet account (both can view all accounts).
Stay away from Akaunting.com It is a scammer company.
just read the user comments and look at their crappy trust score to confirm what I am saying.

Your a web designer/developer right? So installing a open source package shouldn't be too difficult?
If that is the case, check out Akaunting. It's an open source web based accounting software that runs off Laravel/PHP/MySQL and ticks all of your feature requirements and more.
The commercial website for it has more information about it including screenshots, features and such like.

akaunting.com is a scam. The system is mega buggy and they happily take your money and refuse both support and refund requests.

It's a web app, so you just need to install whatever environment it needs. It doesn't care if it's a server or your own workstation.
Start with the Requirements page on their website and go from there.
Have you tried Akaunting? It provides basic invoicing and expense tracking for free, and there are plenty of available apps (usually paid, but cheap) that you can add for things like project management. You can self host it with docker - I even managed to get it working on a k8s cluster running on raspberry pis.
What country?
background: I did help some SMEs in Vietnam, Indonesia - to do low cost automation (process of backoffice) so they can offer creative human minds - the creative work of making service as product and so on. Some of them became good partners - and transitioned from selling legacy products / services - such as coal, fruit gardens, construction to managed farms, creating bamboo co-op construction, reselling solar and EVs, leasing equipment etc.
It works in most cases, as long as the staff is motivated and paid properly.
Also some things can be offered online for a fees that customers pay before they talk to the staff. Automation is not costly as it all depends on whether the tools are available as a software (Software as a Service) on cloud and how good is internet in the developing economies.
Some tools are lifetime license (one time fees) and the deals are often live. These tools don't require ton of computers, as they are all on cloud, accessible to everyone.
I use it personally for 2 small companies, although it does not solve the problem of services to scale in some sectors like the building exterior and interior. Thats one vertical i face big challenge as the products sold for that purpose are easy, but scanning the different shapes of buildings without training local staff, that one piece we are doing using simple tools. While the internet based sales increased, the ground supply did not, so we have to put limit on every week's orders and contracts.
Being a product company is much better than only service provider. alternatively, any service company can partner with product makers, as a reseller.
If you checked my other replies, for example - akuanting (https://akaunting.com) is a free SaaS tool for most countries available in local languages.
I found links in your comment that were not hyperlinked:
I did the honors for you.

When you say 'rented', you mean, monthly subscription? Yes, the move to Software as a Service (SaaS) has many benefits and many drawbacks. I'm both an aggressive consumer who doesn't like recurring fees and a SaaS founder that loves recurring revenue. (Yes, sometimes I hate myself!)
GNUcash is fine but not very friendly and the code is not up to par (IMO).
I started test driving Akaunting and it's pretty good. I had my developer review the code and he didn't find any serious issues. Another guy poted a code review on Youtube and his only concerns were a matter of style or technique (i.e. opinion). I haven't given it a full test myself, but I hope it can be useful to U.S. small businesses.
My only concern is that the main developers are not American (they're Turkish if you're curious), so there may be significant differences in how certain functions are performed compared to U.S. accounting practices. That's the only thing that really worries me about it.
ERPnext.org, es más para empresas y tiene bocha de cosas no solo financieras, pero tiene re potente plan de cuentas... tenés que saber algo de informática🥴 se instala tipo cliente servidor y es open source pero es un cañazo.
Y Akaunting https://akaunting.com/, más pequeño y enfocado, también opensource tipo cliente servidor.
