I love the interface and all of the features and financial tracking that is included with wave.

### "Great people, great service"

August 11, 2015

5.0

I have been utilizing Wave's services for a while now. It started with invoicing only and I have since upgraded to Payroll by Wave. Their communication and services are both excellent, as well as their pricing. I recommend any small business owner to make use of their services. You speak to real people and they are very at tentative and knowledgeable. They even go out of their way to help find solutions to your questions they don'e "have to answer". Great experience.

### "Outstanding Customer Service"

September 17, 2013

5.0

Fantastic app that just keeps getting better. Customer service is first class - issues are dealt with professionally and quickly! Credit Card payments, although a little pricey, make accepting payments from customers extremely easy & efficient. Just need to add time tracking integration...

Pros

Customer Service Bank Integration Credit Card Payments (stripe) Clean Invoicing Ease of use

Cons

no time tracking integration (paymo?)

### "The Wave Accounting: Alternative to Quickbooks"

March 5, 2016

3.5

Pros

Wave promises to be a great alternative to quickbooks and quickbooks line with all of the features a small business needs and small business-friendly pricing.

Cons

What has made us hesitant to go all-in with Wave is their lack of migration support. The process of changing from QB is time consuming and if you're a small business you sometimes do not have the time.

October 29, 2018

Pros

Lets you easily manage the sales and expenses. The features that you get for its pricing is really good too! The tool is also simple and easy to understand. Hence, onboarding isn't an issue at all.

Wave saves me and my clients so much time by exporting transactions from banks and credit cards. It is easy for business owners to use and it impresses accountants like me. And the cost can't be beat!

Accounting by Waves is a great app for basic bookkeeping and financial management.

Pros

Accounting by Wave is super easy to navigate and use. It helps with bookkeeping and makes my job a little easier.

### "Great free bookkeeping software that does everything we really need"

February 17, 2018

5.0

Free accounting software that works!

Pros

For a small business like ours, Wave has pretty much everything we need for invoicing and tracking expenses. There are certainly other cloud services that we looked at, Wave has everything we need and without any monthly fees. Taxes this year were straightforward with the reporting features as well.

Cons

It takes some using to get used to the interface and find out where everything is. Once it's set up though, the actual time spent in-software each week is very small.

December 1, 2014

5.0

I've been using Wave's accounting platform for a couple of years now and have watched the product evolve over that period. I'm simply amazed. It's easy to use and intuitive for non-accountants and enormously simplifies producing my year-end financials. Add to that their mobile applications, payroll system, online payments, receipts and invoicing features, and you've got yourself a very robust and competitive accounting package.

### "Review of Wave Accounting"

October 17, 2014

5.0

Great product from a simplicity perspective. Easy to use and seamlessly integrates with your existing accounts, which helps in reducing admin time (ideal for small business\\solo operators). There was a glitch with creating invoices, which I escalated - the error messages were not specifying how you could amend the problem. Customer service noted this and advised it would be raised at their next upgrade very proactive.

As an entrepreneur, I need to keep all my billing documents organized and Wave is a perfect app for it.

There is no cash coding for bank transactions which makes capturing bank statements a very lengthy process

Reason for choosing Wave

Its free!

### "Slick Invoicing Solution"

July 29, 2018

5.0

Pros

Wave is a great invoicing solution. It has a mobile first interface, a great UI, and is intuitive to use.

Cons

Wave is a freemium product. Above a certain number of invoices, it starts to charge. It would be better if it was a small flat fee from the beginning for up to say 250 invoices.
