Account Edge Software
Overview
Many businesses rely on cloud-only accounting tools but still need strong offline capability, control over data, and advanced inventory or multicompany support. AccountEdge bridges that gap: it runs locally on your machine but offers cloud-enabled add-ons (Connect, Hosted) so your team can work remotely when needed.
Because it’s desktop-first, AccountEdge gives you full ownership over your data, while its modular add-ons let you extend capabilities (e.g. remote access, bank feeds). It’s especially suited for businesses that need heavy inventory, multiple company files, or want reliability even without internet.
What Is the AccountEdge Software?
AccountEdge is an on-premise (desktop) accounting application with optional cloud extensions. It supports general ledger, sales/invoicing, expenses, purchase orders, inventory, time billing, payroll, budgeting, and more. Its optional modules—AccountEdge Connect and AccountEdge Hosted—enable remote data entry and web access to your company file.
It is designed for small to medium businesses that require robust accounting with optional cloud connectivity, rather than purely cloud-native operation.
