Every report, every screen
Powerful like QuickBooks. Kind like a good friend.
We kept the tools serious businesses need and threw out the parts that made you feel stupid.
AI does the boring parts
Upload a statement and it reads, sorts, and files every transaction. The more you use it, the smarter it gets.
No accounting jargon
“Reconcile,” “accrual,” “COGS” — we translate all of it. Every screen reads like a text from a friend who happens to know accounting.
Real reports, real security
Tax-ready P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow — the reports your accountant needs. Encrypted and isolated per account.

XpressBooks vs QuickBooks
The same power where it counts — and a big head start where it matters.
Comparison reflects XpressBooks’ planned feature set during early access. QuickBooks is a trademark of Intuit Inc.; XpressBooks is not affiliated with Intuit.
Bank-level security. Built in from day one.
It’s your money and your customers’ data. We protect it with the same standards we hold ourselves to as a company — not an afterthought.
Encrypted end to end
Your data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit — every connection, every record.
SOC 2 Type II infrastructure
Built on SOC 2 Type II-certified providers (Supabase, Vercel), PCI DSS Level 1 payments (Stripe), and Plaid for bank links.
We never store your bank login
Bank connections use Plaid’s read-only tokens. Your banking username and password never touch our systems.
Your data is yours alone
Row-Level Security isolates every account — you only ever see your own data. And we never sell or rent it.
Access controls & audit logs
Multi-factor authentication, least-privilege access, and comprehensive audit logging on every sensitive action.
Compliance-aligned
Designed around NIST CSF, SOC 2, and OWASP — and built to honor CCPA, GDPR, and GLBA data rights.
The stuff you’re probably wondering.
Is XpressBooks live yet?
We’re in active development and rolling out early access. Some features you see here are ready today; others are marked “Coming soon” and on the way. Sign up and we’ll bring you in as things go live.
Do I need to know accounting to use it?
No — that’s the whole point. XpressBooks handles the double-entry accounting behind the scenes and talks to you in plain English. If you can read a text message, you can run your books.
How is this different from QuickBooks?
You get the same core tools — invoicing, expenses, bank feeds, reports — but without the jargon and complexity. On top of that, our AI categorizes transactions, reads your uploaded statements, and explains your finances in words you actually understand.
Is my financial data secure?
Yes. Your data is encrypted, and every account is isolated with row-level security so no one sees data that isn’t theirs. We take the safety of your financial information seriously.
Can my accountant or team use it too?
Multi-user and accountant access is on the way. You’ll be able to invite your bookkeeper, partner, or team with the right permissions.
Be the first to run books that make sense.
Drop your email and we’ll send you an invite the moment your spot opens up. No credit card, no spam.
