### "Free!! Mobile sucks."

April 20, 2017

2.0

Not impressed with their mobile platform. They have an app for easily adding receipts, but anything else you have to go to their website to do. I'm using chrome on android and it does not appear they have put in any time to making it mobile friendly. I cannot do hardly anything from my phone because menus jump all over the place. I do like they are free, but not sure yet how they make their money so I'm hesitant waiting for the catch.

### "Wave is a great free accounting software."

December 9, 2018

3.0

Wave has all you need in a basic accounting software, and it's free! They offer a mobile application, and integration with many other online software.

Pros

It is a free entry-level software. It is based online, so that you have constant access from any device with an internet connection. They have a mobile application that supports multiple devices.

Cons

There is no built-in inventory tracking, and they do not offer integration with any inventory tracking software. They offer nothing in the way of a sales receipt. It does not function well for quick sales transactions.

### "Horrible services"

May 20, 2022

1.0

Cons

Pay in advance for the use, and I was ever able to use customer services is the worst and gives recommendations that the next agent said it was a mistake. I spent over 6 hours on the line for an answer, and nobody knew anything. Six months after I closed the account, I found they were trying to charge my account as if I had an account with them. I couldn't talk with anybody on the phone because no number was available and I DONT HAVE AN ACCOUNT.

### "Wave User of 2+ Years"

January 8, 2019

4.0

Overall, satisfied.

Pros

Recurring Invoice feature is my most-used function. I appreciate how the invoices look when my clients receive them, and the ability for them to save their card for automatic processing in the future.

Cons

A little confusing sometimes - I don't use the payroll function for this reason. I also am not sure how to delete invoice drafts as there is no delete button anywhere when on that page/invoice.

### "Accounting for small companies"

April 2, 2019

4.0

Pros

When you have not too many bookings it's ideal as a accounting system in the clouds. It's easy to send invoices by email, you can see if a client had a look at the invoice and it's very easy to send a reminder. Everything in one system, all neatly together.

Cons

When you have a lot of invoices it can be time consuming as the internet connection sometimes need some time.

### "Keeps track of expenses nicely"

February 6, 2021

5.0

For the most part it doesn’t what I need it to do

Pros

That it’s a free system that helps keep track of my systems

Cons

I would like if there were more category options and if they would have them automatically choose a category if I’ve used one on a previous account.

### "I love Wave Accounting!"

May 29, 2021

5.0

I love this software and would recommend it to anyone!

Pros

It makes running my business so much easier and gives me much more time to do things I love If I didn't have wave accounting I would be working from 3 am to 8 pm!

Cons

I don't like how it doesn't integrate with dubsado so it takes longer to finish what I am doing and I cant spend as much time as I would like doing things I like.

### "Acct Wave Review"

November 22, 2018

4.0

We use Wave for our apartment association accounting invoicing members for their yearly membership dues.

Pros

Accounting Wave is very user friendly. Easy to manouver through. Clear simple instructions when needed for corrections.

Cons

I wish it was a little clearer when going between all novices and current invoices. That can be a little confusing sometimes.

### "Inventory Control Needed in Aisle Two"

January 14, 2020

5.0

Overall, we've had good luck with the software will continue to use Wave for non-retail sectors.

Pros

We have several businesses and found Wave to be a good fit for our property rentals. Ease of use, cost-effective and sufficient for our year-end taxes.

Cons

We recently started a CBD business and found Wave woefully lacking in inventory management and true COGS.

### "Free Invoicing software is hard to beat."

February 8, 2018

5.0

Reliable billing.

Pros

It's free! If you using the basic invoicing portion of the software it's hard to beat. Cloud based ensure I have access to drafts or invoices pending payment anywhere I go.

Cons

Needs more user preferences, such as ability to create custom due date ranges instead of being left with only their default options.

### "Just Great !!!!!!!!!!!"

December 8, 2020

5.0

Pros

I love that I can record transactions made in other currencies and simply record the rate that was used on the day. Also, Wave automatically prepares an Income statement to show profit and losses made and this makes life easy for any small business owner.

Cons

I would love to have an offline app of Wave that runs on my PC.

### "Used to be good"

March 30, 2013

1.0

So, Wave did an update in December 2012 which was promised to make it the best free accounting system on the market - It was a very poorly executed rollout. There had been clearly no user testing and worse of all they took away functionally that was there before, such as the ability to mark an invoice as 'sent' or a PDF version of an invoice that actually looked correct and added up. After two years of using Wave I'm leaving. It was good, but now they are only interested in developing new revenue streams for themselves and not correcting the errors.

Pros

free

Cons

see above.

Response from Wave

August 1, 2013

Hi Mike, We're very sorry for the situation that happened in December 2012 and our support teams were working nearly 24 hours a day to help our customers and repair the issues. I'm happy to report that everything since has been restored with extensive new features added in accounting, invoicing, receipt management, and more. We're still a free service for accounting and invoicing with no limitations, and provide affordable payroll and credit card collection solutions that integrate with your accounting directly. Hope your business is doing well. Sincerely, Andrew

July 11, 2018

4.0

Pros

I liked this product for sending out invoices - it made everything really quick and simple. Very user-friendly, didn't have to have any experience to jump in and start using it.

Cons

There's not a whole lot else we could do with Wave - we ended up having to move to a larger platform as our company grew, but it was great and I'd recommend it for any start-up.

### "Free Accounting Software That's Actually Good"

February 12, 2019

5.0

Works great for being free. No complaints.

Pros

Its free and it helped me send professional looking estimates and quotes as well as invoices. The ability to get paid online is also plus. Mobile app are also great.

Cons

Not as full of features like QuickBooks but for people like me who do side gigs, it doesn't need to be. Payroll and more advanced features do cost money.

Used to be good, now it's terrible. Would not recommend anymore

Pros
