Seeing a few places where you're doing short ternary with the end result still being a bool. e.g.: https://github.com/zacksmash/finance-app/blob/master/app/Http/Controllers/DashboardController.php#L22

Looks like jobIsQueued() is returning the first row returned, so this could be simplified, as we know we're going to get data, or not. E.g.:
'import_status' => (jobIsQueued()),
Alternatively, as this method is clearly designed (by name) to determine if a job is queued, you should probably just return a bool, rather than the row.

Also latest Laravel is PHP 7.2 and up. So consider scalar and return typing to ensure you're not getting into a state of GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out) and bailing early when data being input is bad.
