In their own words
Express Accounts
Express Accounts is accounting software for tracking business cash flow across sales, receipts, payments and purchases. It creates quotes, sales orders and invoices, including recurring orders and invoices, and handles accounts payable with purchase orders and checks. More than 20 financial reports are available, including income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements; sales tax tools are included. One installation can manage multiple businesses and currencies. The software imports transactions and business records from CSV files and can reconcile OFX bank statements. It integrates with Inventoria for inventory data, though both programs must be installed on the same machine for synchronization; Express Invoice can also connect when recording customer payments. Downloadable desktop use supports offline accounting. Express Accounts runs on Windows, macOS and the web, with a free non-commercial plan and a separate free version for businesses with fewer than five employees. The desktop version does not require a password; Web Access does.
