### "Good softwave but needs changes"

January 15, 2018

3.0

Pros

Great for invoicing and having customer statements. Also recurring invoices. Takes a while to get used to but if you play about with it.

Cons

Struggled at first to get the hang of it and still trying to figure out how to print of client statements. Some clients never receive their invoices by email. Some of the software I am unable to use as it is for USA only which is disappointing.

### "Amazing!"

February 2, 2018

5.0

I just can't believe how much they helped me, if not for the free version I don't know if my business would make it so far because in the very begin I couldn't afford any of the paid bookkeeping software out there, so I owe Wave Accounting my business! God bless you guys!

Pros

It is online and free! there is an app too, you can always know when your customer looked the invoices.

Cons

Very rarely they are working on the website so I cannot log in at 3 am when I have my insomnia moments...

### "Great Accounting for Small Business!"

January 5, 2017

5.0

I'm using a free version and it's very convenient. I have a degree in accounting, so it's probably easier for me to figure out than someone that doesn't have accounting experience. Highly recommend.

Pros

Great Software. Easy to use. Well, formatted financial statements.

Cons

I haven't had any problems with the software yet. I've been able to do everything I wanted so far. I have a very small company, with basic accounting, though.

### "A great accounting app"

November 22, 2014

5.0

Wave Accounting is an easy to use app that is made for non-accountants. Great for individuals and small businesses. By connecting Wave to your bank and credit card accounts, your transactions automatically feed into Wave, so you don't have to do any data entry. Invoices, purchases, receipts, integrated payroll, payment by credit card, a good mix of reports allow you do your financials in a non-threatening way. Wave has evolved a lot since it was first introduced, and has enhanced the app in many good ways. It will continue to add and improve features, such as project tracking, a fuller payroll functions, additional reports, etc. I highly recommend Wave no matter their level of knowledge of bookkeeping and accounting

### "Easy to use, makes invoicing quick and easy"

February 28, 2018

5.0

It makes invoicing quick and easy

Pros

Easy and quick. Nice to duplicate invoices. I like the recurring invoice feature and that you can customise emails and messages.

Cons

I wish it had a feature to attach a contract to the invoice, like some other accounting software has. I would like to see a feature where you can charge 50% of the invoice without having to change the item from 1 to 0.5

### "So far, it has been very user friendly!"

February 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

I can look at my business financials at a glance. It has been a big asset to my small business. I really like the creating of invoices. Having all my customer and vendor information in one place is great.

Cons

I have only been using this software for a short period of time and have not learned what all it can do yet. So far, I haven't found anything I don't like about it yet.

5.0

Pros

I like that it is easy to use for beginners and for a small business just trying to keep track for tax purposes.

Cons

I would like it to be more easy and straightforward to integrate different accounts with it. Like square.

### "It's free and easy to use, but wish had better design"

December 3, 2019

4.0

I tried Wave for a limited time and will probably go back to it at some point. However, you can't really change the design of the invoice and I just decided to manually make my own invoices for now. I wish it were just a teensy bit more customizable but for a free/very cheap application, you really can't beat Wave!

Pros

It's free and pretty easy to use! Just set up your clients and choose what you want to include in your invoice.

Cons

It's very limiting as to how you can design your invoice. Normally I wouldn't mind but I have many clients in the design industry.

August 28, 2019

Love it, would recommend it to others.

Pros

Tons of features, being able to customize your invoices is really nice.

Cons

Not totally intuitive sometimes, but it isn't a big problem.

Switched from

[Square Virtual Terminal](https://www.capterra.com/p/190305/Square-Payments-Processing/)

Square doesn't have a ton of customization and isn't actually that great, it's just a pretty interface.

### "Great Free Bookkeeping Software "

July 16, 2019

5.0

Pros

I like the fact that the software is free. It makes it a more viable option for small businesses who are trying to keep their finances organized, yet keep monthly costs low.

Cons

I disliked the limited amount of reports that are available to users. I wish there were a customizable option for reports.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Wave

Because it was free
