### "Easy out of the box solution for small businesses"

March 5, 2016

4.5

Pros

The invoicing feature is really easy to use and great. We accept credit card payments and it works perfectly.

Cons

I had some issues with customer support and resolving and issue that really dragged out. It finally got resolved, but wasn't the best experience.

### "Excellent for SME"

September 14, 2017

4.0

Over all I would definitely recommend this product to the small business owner.

Pros

This product, being free, is extremely well created. It is easy to use and you can start invoicing in a few minutes. The reminder functions are very useful.

Cons

There is currently no credit note function which would be nice to see. The scan of expenses/receipts takes very long and is a hindrance if you have a large amount of transactions to record.

### "Love this app!"

February 25, 2019

5.0

Highly recommend!

Pros

This app was my saving grace for my startup business. It helped me keep all my expenses in check as well as income. It really was my saviour for doing my taxes. It pulls all transactions from your accounts and they can be separated by more than one business as well as personal accounts. I also love the invoicing as I have 3 separate logos for invoicing 3 company divisions. It is simple and intuitive.

Cons

This is my first year using it for expenses. I don't have a large amount nor do I have any too complicated so it suits me perfectly thus far.

### "Customer Service is only available by unfriendly chat"

May 5, 2020

2.0

A few times I've had to do things such as change funding account or change benefits or deductions. It takes weeks to get help from anyone and it's only by email or chat. There is always a different person responding to chat or email, so there are no quick fixes. Only use this software if you intend never to have any additions or changes to your payroll needs.

Pros

It's accessible in an online format. You can start quickly.

Cons

Lack of real-time support. You can only respond via chat or email.

### "Best Free Accounting Software!"

January 9, 2018

5.0

Completely Free Accounting Software that is easy to use.

Pros

I love this accounting software. My husband and I use this for our small contracting company and it works like a charm. Its great to keep track expenses, send invoices and reminders. You can also set it up to accept payments online, I haven't set this up, but its great to have this option in a free program (you have to pay to accept payments online though).

Cons

Its a fairly basic software but it works great for what we use it for. My only really complaint is that its internet based and if you have a slower connection, it takes a while to load.

### "Not user friendly; More of a time waster"

January 22, 2019

3.0

Great ideas - bad implementation, less than optimal user interface.

Pros

I don't, it doesn't work. I thought I was signing up for payroll, that it was free not for additional fees. It worked for a month, then stopped. Had to go through the process again. Then again the connections did not work. There is nothing I like about this software.

Cons

Negative option for signing up. Lack of user friendly interface. Dropped connections for Direct Deposit. Not easy to sign up, issues after we've gone through the process. Less than optimal support.

I don't like having to pay more to increase the features of the app.

### "Still learning and comparing"

May 6, 2017

5.0

Pros

Easy of use, for a small online business owner the apps can be easy to use. Aside for its FREE. It can be added features especially for the product

Cons

As an ebay / online reseller. The apps should be made easy to recognise product. Since my product is not the same, I end up with thousand of product (I sell 30-50 different product a month). Its much easier if I can see which product still available and which is not active. And I should see which product I still have (price, quantity) and hide which is already sold

### "Great software for business on a budget"

November 7, 2016

4.0

My family runs a boutique Pilates studio that just started this year and needless to say, we are strapped for money as a new business. It was important to find/use a software that was easy to use for everyone involved, does the calculations correctly (surprisingly, this is not always a given!), and preferably free. Wave Accounting fulfills all these criterias. So far, we enter everything manually, so yes it's quite cumbersome but the software is pretty good about generating simple reports we can use to analyze our financials. I knocked one star off because I've run into situations where an income is not automatically reflected in our P&L generated report - which was pretty annoying. So I think there are some kinks but hopefully over time they smooth these out.

Pros

Free of charge, user friendly, easy to customize to your business

Cons

Some kinks in functionality - sometimes expenses or income not accounted for properly

### "Makes small business starups just a bit easier"

July 15, 2020

5.0

Really useful tool that kept my financials in order

Pros

I personally love the feature to take photos of bills and the app automatically captures the info and posts it to accounting. Game changer

Cons

It was sometimes slow in responsiveness and often crashed on me.

### "There is no customer support whatsoever and the bank connection doesn't work properly but their billing does."

August 2, 2017

1.0

Fraudulent, no customer support.

Pros

It seems simple to use.

Cons

The bank connection never would work properly and none of my support emails were ever answered beyond "so, did we help you?" as if they'd done something. I vollyied emails this way for 3 weeks before giving up. Then they billed me for direct deposit when they said it was free, total fraud. There is NO PHONE for support and emails go unanswered.

### "Great, easy to use, accounting software! "

May 12, 2022

5.0

Our small non-profit used Wave for the first year and it was exactly what we needed to get everything off the ground. Very simple to use, even for non-accountants, linked to our checking account, provided easy to read reports and was super economical. I’d definitely reccomend!

Pros

Simple, intuitive dashboard, low-cost, quick to learn, has all the options we need

Cons

I didn’t find any downside to Wave, fit our needs exactly

July 8, 2018

4.0

Pros

Accounting by wave gives features and benefits one would want in a paid software. Good for small scale businesses and for teaching about computer accounting

Cons

This software is ONLY for starters. There's a reason it is free. One cannot imagine using this for a little bogger business even . it's features are and end-data are not accurate . Even for startters it'll get annoying for a while

### "Simple and easy to use"

March 21, 2018

5.0

Pros

It has a clean interface that is easy to use. Connnectinf bank accounts was simple and sending invoices were a no brainer. The Wave Receipt app is great for uploading images on the go for no extra charge.

Cons

When I used it it did not integrate to Woocommerce so I had to manually add all sales and inventory. This became time consuming as the business grew. Moreover, there wasn't a way to add Stripe, Square, or Amazon Payments.

### "Awesome accounting, and it's FREE!"

January 24, 2017

5.0

I switched from Quickbooks after my cost went up and then I had to pay for a monthly merchant account. For me, I did the math and it was more valuable to switch to Wave and just pay their merchant fees as they were the same as Quickbooks. I love it and I can add in more than one business too! Everyone should use it! They are continuously innovating and it is only getting better!

Pros

Ease of use and it's cost, FREE :)

Cons

Maybe some minimal support a month, but it's free so I can understand why it dose cost a little.
