Income, expenses, invoices, and payments can be recorded together, with reports available for reviewing business finances. Express Accounts Free Accounting Software organizes that work around sales, purchases, and bookkeeping entries.
Sales, invoices, and payments
Express Accounts handles customer-side bookkeeping through sales and accounts receivable. Create quotes, sales orders, and invoices, then record incoming payments and deposits. When an invoice is paid, the receivables figures and related reports update.
Recurring orders and invoices can be recorded automatically, reducing repeated entry for regular sales. For outgoing costs, the accounts payable tools track bills and purchases; the program also supports purchase orders and printing checks.
Which reports can it produce?
The reporting tools cover business performance, balances, and individual sales activity. Income statements show profit and loss, while balance sheets present assets and liabilities. Cash flow, trial balance, sales tax, accounts payable, and accounts receivable reports are also included.
Reports can be sent to an accountant by email or fax. Customer, salesperson, and item-based sales reports offer additional ways to inspect transactions.
Bookkeeping across businesses
A general journal provides a place for bookkeeping entries alongside the program’s sales and payment records. Automatic backup is integrated, and accounting work can be managed offline. One installation can keep records for multiple businesses, including businesses that use different currencies.
