### "Can't beat it"

September 25, 2019

5.0

So my overall experience with wave is a good one I am still using it I will continue to use it and I will probably end up paying for the paid version

Pros

what I like the most about this software is that once I link my bank accounts to it it went right through it and categorized each expense for me

Cons

what I like the least about this software it's really not much because I am using the free version but I do wish that they have more categories to divide your expenses into in that it did it automatically

### "Wave Accounting "

September 13, 2019

3.0

I would recommend it for very small businesses. It works for my events company and its for free.

Pros

I like the fact that is simple and user friendly and for free. Also you are able to hire a bookkeeper online.

Cons

I don't like the fact I can't process credit notes and the sales tax report is not detailed enough. Also you can't process journals and this can be tricky at times.

### "Great Basic Accounting!"

September 11, 2017

4.0

Pros

Wave has made it very easy for me to do accounting for my small business. It's easy to use for a non technical person and easy to stay on top of my finances.

Cons

I would would like to see more tax support and the ability to calculate deductions are two features that small business owners need. A project management feature would also be a nice touch.

### "Free tier is ideal for startups"

January 10, 2019

4.0

Pros

The free tier is ideal for small startups. It allows for sales tax reports and allows customers to pay invoice by credit card.

Cons

If you aren't paying for the service then you must be the product.

### "COGS Does Not Exist "

June 17, 2021

2.0

I really like to love it but its not working for me because the inventory does not show cost

Pros

every thing is nice for a free software For personal use only.

Cons

This is a very nice free software for personal use only and may be for a service business but not for someone who sells items because the inventory module does not have a cost function & No app to use on the phone.

Reason for choosing Wave

Cost is good but inventory is not

### "This is the best bookkeeping apps for one person , uncomplicated transaction company"

July 23, 2020

4.0

This is the best bookkeeping apps for one person , uncomplicated transaction company. Free bookkeeping, and easy to use for internal bookkeeping.

Pros

Free bookkeeping, and easy to use for internal bookkeeping.

Cons

If company grows, it may miss some function. Somehow they didn't proof me to receive invoice. So some integration part is not good.

### "Great Features at a Super Price - FREE"

August 9, 2017

5.0

Pros

Wave offers a ton of great features for free. I was really shocked at the quality and feature set they are making available for free. They have a few premium add ons like Payroll and Credit Card Processing but they are very competitively priced.

Cons

I don't really have anything negative to say about the product. It works great, and it's free. I do wish they had an integrated timer for tracking projects with clients. If they had a timer like harvest or timely built in, I'd give them 6 stars ;-)

### "Worth for small businesses."

July 24, 2019

3.0

With wave we were able to start using digital invoicing as opposed to before when everything was manual.

Pros

It offers a goof number of features to digitize a start-up or a small business, offers a free version good for training, its affordable so will not affect your capital when starting up, fits in almost all businesses, its easily customizable to fit your preference. Makes keeping records easy and tracking financial transactions as well as invoicing. They offer excellent guiding materials.

Cons

The customer support is poor they took two days to respond.

### "Great for a freelancer"

November 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's very flexible and understandable for someone like me who is not the best at accounting/bookkeeping. The pricing model also seems very fair for what you're getting.

Cons

I think the dashboard could be more customizable. It feels too busy and cluttered with information that I don't find important.

### "Repeated issues with transaction import from chase"

August 15, 2017

1.0

Pros

it was easy to implement, easy to learn and easy to use. It would be perfect except it has serious issues with importing data.

Cons

An accounting software, at the very least, needs to be accurate. I have had repeated issues with transactions not importing. The worst part is it isn't always clear. Sometimes just one or two won't import!

### "Great for startups"

August 23, 2018

4.0

Pros

Free to start using. Easy to balance books. Easy to create invoices.

Cons

Their fees for credit card and ACH payments are a little high. If you want to hire a bookkeeper, they are very unlikely to be familiar with it (most are familiar with Intuit/QB, of course), and so you'll find that unless you have an internal bookkeeper, you probably have to move away from it, anyway.

### "Awesome software "

April 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

Wave is free, easy to use and has all the features you need for simple accounting. I was able to sort out all my business accounts easily and now I can keep them in order.

Cons

There is very little that I dislike about Wave accounting. It doesn't support bank imports in my country and that's a bit of a pain but understandable in Kenya

### "The free version is perfect for me"

June 6, 2018

4.0

Pros

Love that the free version of this program works perfectly for me. Like the balance of what can and can't be customized -- ex: invoices. Like to be able to see the customer's view of documents.

Cons

I wish I could customize the dashboard a bit more. I typically want to view the same items when I log in but have to click through several options to get to them each time.
