### "Great invoicing software, but they no longer offer it globally"

March 25, 2021

5.0

Great for invoicing, with the best invoicing templates I've used.

Pros

The invoicing templates are exceptionally designed, and it's very easy to use the app. Plus, it's completely free, which is awesome.

Cons

I moved because I needed time tracking built-in and didn't want to use too many apps. Also, they removed support for countries outside of NA and I was worried what would happen in the future.

### "Review of Wave Accounting "

December 12, 2022

5.0

Pros

Best feature is the ease of creating and billing your customers.

Cons

I really like the whole program. If I were to change anything I think when you ask it to send out a reminder email to the customer they should send an alert to you asking if you still want to send this.

### "A wave of relief for my accounting needs"

January 12, 2017

5.0

I am a small business owner - I am not able to afford an accountant. I took a QuickBooks course to learn how to use an accounting software to manage my finances but I found I did not need all of the options that QuickBooks offered. After researching alternatives to QuickBooks I found Wave and it has given me the tools I need at an affordable price. I was able to sync my business account to the software, as well as my PayPal. All my expenses and payments automatically sync to Wave. It keeps a tally for me and sends me reports. I am now able to generate accounting reports with ease.

Pros

Ease of use. notifications.

### "The best invoicing software I have used!"

September 7, 2021

5.0

Fantastic software to support any business. Client details are saved as well as products/services and their descriptions. A pleasant and intuitive accounting software.

Pros

I use the free version of Wave for my small business. I am surprised by the amount of value I receive and would not hesitate to pay for the service if the business grows. Wave makes invoicing and drafting estimates extremely easy and pleasant. The end products are professional and afford me the opportunity to produce excellent financial documents for clients.

Cons

I have not yet found a feature on Wave that I did not like. I am certain I have not yet explored the full value offered by the software.

### "The perfect tool for Start ups"

January 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

This has been made for entreprenors and startups. You have everything you need to make your accountings easier and enjoyable

Cons

The community is not so big. So to manage the APIs is a bit complicated when you are a begginer. The charts are not customizable, so you cannot make targets.

### "They turned off my ability to receive payment!!!"

March 3, 2021

4.0

Pros

It’s free for primary use with per usage fee for payment option.

Cons

I was not able to connect to my bank. They set me up for online payments, then without warning turned that function off saying that they determined there were risks involved in my line of business - photography. Suddenly, I had no way of know which payments went through, I couldn’t talk or chat with anybody (email support only) and I had to tell my clients to pay me again because my accounting software canceled and refunded their payment!!!!

### "Free and great accounting solution"

March 19, 2018

4.0

Pros

It makes your accounting needs free. You can also use it as a payment processor with a commission. Detailed functionality is very good. You can group your expenses or incomes and see a very nice report. You can also create separate accounts for separate firms.

Cons

A bit slow and import functionality can be improved. For example, when you import some data (for example from a bank) you should be able to review and delete some of them.

### "Wave Customer Service is BRUTAL "

January 22, 2020

1.0

Pros

The only pro about this software is that it is free!

Cons

Wave implements a features, then they break, ignore fixing the problem, only provide workarounds that cost time and money. No compensation or any remorse by the company. No phone calls and repeated ignored service requests. I would highly not recommend Wave!

### "Fabulous software"

April 29, 2018

5.0

Pros

For a small company, this software tracks every cent in and out. You get usable reports, and can watch how you spend your hard earned money.

Cons

There is no place to track mileage. I also would like to be able to just enter bills and not worry about figuring out if I need to pay them or if I did pay with a credit card.

### "I really like it because it's pretty much the only free software that I know. "

April 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love the fact that it's FREE, everything else I've ever come across is paid, and I hate monthly fees, so thank you.

Cons

I dislike the fact that I cannot, for the life of me, link my TD account. I cannot stand it. It's not good, but okay.

Pros

What i like most is that wave is free!! did i say free :) . Plus it has lots of functionalities that make it great for a startup business. As i use it for all my startup businesses.

### "One of the best Accounting app in USA and Europe "

February 25, 2022

4.0

Pros

I love the platform which is very easy to use and implement, making it a priority choice over other paid accounting software markets.

Cons

I was happy until they made a decision to stop business in Asia and asked us to move to QuickBooks, but early adapters still have access to them and they support us still.

### "Wave is Free"

December 12, 2019

5.0

Overall I'd strongly recommend Wave to any small or medium-size businesses.

Pros

I loved that Wave was free. For a business like mine that was a huge plus. I also liked their reconciliation feature.

Cons

Sometimes Wave was kind of slow to load multiple pages or would crash my browser. I also wish I could customize the invoices more.

### "Hear for a free product "

December 6, 2016

4.0

This software had a bit of a learning curve. Not as intuitive as some software but worth it since it is free.

Pros

Free and has the major accounting reports needed. Separate business and personal expenses easy so perfectly for small business owners. The receipt image feature is great.

Cons

The reconciliation feature is a bit awkward. Tagged time to figure out the tricks to it. the receipt feature doesn't match up to downloaded transactions as promised. You have to manually match them

### "Free, Easy, yet confusing"

May 15, 2019

3.0

Our overall experience was great until those end of the year reports.

Pros

We really liked how Wave was so user friendly and everything was easy to find. Making invoices were simple and fast. Our customers were able to pay online which made bank trips less!

Cons

When we got to the end of the year the software end of the year report did not match with our book keeping or the bank. We never could figure out the difference. It had us making double what we really made. It was all so confusing and good thing we kept our own records because the wave app program did not give us an accurate account of what we made or spent. We stopped using it after this due to the mix up.

### "👏 Awesome Product"

August 26, 2022

5.0

Setting up expense categories and customers are crucial. To me, it is the heart of the application. Overall, nice on mobile but better on tablet. I bought an iPad just for Wave!

Pros

Basically quick books for almost no cost! Reports are easy to generate. Auto suggested categories rock!

Cons

Tax time was a little difficult figuring out 1099s. Had to enroll in pay roll accounts in order to utilize the 1099 filing service even though I didn’t use a pay roll service!

Cons

Payment issues. It been seven days and I haven't received a payment that my client sent me. Within Wave platform it says the payment was processed on the seventh day but im still waiting..smh.

### "Easy, quick invoices "

December 20, 2022

5.0

Amazing, inexpensive and easy. They even had an app that you can use which has been helpful since my phone has always been my portable office.

Pros

The ease of the product is by far the best ting about it. I can quickly make invoices and send them out to the appropriate people. It saves all the invoices with dates and recorded payments. Definitely saves you a lot of time when having to pull specific dates.

Cons

Some improvements can be made with the appearance of the invoices or more customization.

### "Does it's job!"

September 6, 2019

5.0

Wave allows me to take online payments from my customers DAILY. It offers multiple different payment options so no stone is left unturned.

Pros

I love all the payment options it provides when I am making a customer invoice. I also enjoy the notifications I get once my invoices are viewed and then paid.

Cons

There's a 2 day wait for funds to be transferred to your bank account which is kind of a drawback but the quality of the software makes up for it
