  • Automates key accounting tasks such as bank reconciliations, recurring invoices, and transaction categorization, saving time and effort.

  • Allows seamless integration with bank accounts and imports transactions efficiently, streamlining financial tracking.

"Great Accounting Software for SMBs"

What do you like best about Wave? Wave is a great low-cost alternative to more expensive software packages like Quickbooks, with the same functionality. Add ons make it a robust package without breaking the bank. It allows me to do most of the things I need without needing to be in front of a computer (it is mobile-friendly) and pass off the quarterly and payroll items to my accountant without losing control.

"Free accounting tool to manage your intial level invoicing and banking"

What do you like best about Wave? I was using excel to create invoices and it was getting difficult for me to manage over excel hence start searching for a free invoicing tool and found Wave Accounting. I set it up in less than an hour and started creating invoices, it was very easy to set up and work on it.

"Simple & Easy"

What do you like best about Wave? How easy WAVE is to use when sending my clients invoices. I love that it gives you the option to select when you want it to send out reminders if an invoice hasn't been paid. The reporting options are also beneficial, especially when it comes to tax season and wrapping up the fiscal year. WAVE makes everything easier.

"Open to cash flow faucet"

What do you like best about Wave? One of my favorite income-producing activities with Wave is turning on the recurring invoice feature for clients who opt for booking my media and creative business growth services by annual retainer. In one task, Wave takes care of the payment processing long-term. Yay!

Better off with anyone else

I had originally switched from Freshbooks to Waveapp. It was going ok, but when I had a client dispute a charge, the Waveapp team (Krista G) was no help in disputing the charges. I had pictures of the service provided and emails from the client stating they loved the items. I had refunded part of the original payment because the client ended up having less work done than they had originally thought they'd need. Waveapp ended up refunding the original amount, so I was now negative cash and ...

"Wave is the Best Accounting Software for Bootstraping Business"

What do you like best about Wave? Wave App has given our small business the accounting power of a large company. It is simple, easy to navigate, and we don't find it limiting. Great for showing the tax man what he wants to see.
