Express Accounts
Express Accounts is a small-business accounting and bookkeeping app for macOS, designed for freelancers, sole proprietors, and small firms who need to track income, expenses, invoices and basic financial reporting without the complexity of enterprise-grade accounting software. It offers invoicing, expense tracking, profit-and-loss statements, and tax reporting features. The app targets users who want a lightweight alternative to more elaborate platforms like QuickBooks or Xero.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find reliable information about whether Express Accounts has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. The developer NCH Software does ship native Apple Silicon versions of some of its products, but we could not confirm the status of Express Accounts specifically. If you rely on this app, we recommend contacting NCH Software directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned. This is worth doing promptly, since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 (which currently allows Intel apps to run on Apple Silicon Macs) in macOS 28, scheduled for late 2027 — an Intel-only build will stop launching entirely on that release. As a precaution, you might also evaluate actively maintained native alternatives such as Wave Accounting (free, cloud-based), Wave Accounting's free desktop option, or Zoho Books (which runs as a web app natively in any browser on Apple Silicon), so you have a contingency if the developer does not ship a native build in time.
