Streamlined professional bookkeeping with local-first data sovereignty and hybrid remote access.
Express Accounts by NCH Software is a comprehensive accounting solution optimized for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that demand high reliability and data control. Unlike modern pure-SaaS alternatives, Express Accounts utilizes a local-first architecture with an integrated web server, allowing for hybrid remote access without mandatory cloud lock-in. Its technical framework supports double-entry bookkeeping, automated accounts receivable/payable management, and detailed general ledger tracking. For 2026, it remains a strategic choice for businesses prioritizing one-time licensing over perpetual subscription costs. The software facilitates the generation of over 20 professional financial reports, including Profit & Loss, Balance Sheets, and Tax Reports. It integrates seamlessly with NCH's broader ecosystem, including Inventoria for stock management and Copper for Point of Sale. Its ability to manage multiple businesses with a single installation and support multi-currency transactions makes it a versatile tool for international micro-enterprises and boutique firms seeking a stable, high-performance financial foundation.
