### "Good website"

February 5, 2020

4.0

Overall experience is great. I need to explore more about it though

Pros

I love this website to do invoices for my business. It’s very easy to use and you can create as much as you want

Cons

I haven’t explored any other settings on this website other than the invoice tab. So I can’t really say any dislikes

### "Must have internet access"

February 6, 2018

2.0

None. It's online where my financial information has no business being. I need an alternative to Quicken Home and Business that is ON MY COMPUTER not on the internet.

Pros

The price is great. It functions well. It has invoicing capability. It would be wonderful if it was a stand-alone program.

Cons

It is useless to me because 1) I do not want my financial information on the web and 2) it doesn't give the option of using an actual software that you can have as a stand-alone on your computer. Very misleading in all the articles I've seen it listed on.

### "Wave"

September 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

Fantastic option for small business, especially if you are not into using quick books. Love the receipt entry feature, it is surprisingly easy and quick to input

Cons

The only downside is it was a little confusing to learn to use for first timers new to bookkeeping. There are a few video tutorials available to help

### "Awful invoice"

November 27, 2016

1.0

they hold my payments so they can find information about my customers,that makes bad business i dont use this invoice anymore. For those thinking its good wait until they hold your payment then ask stupid questions about your customer. Pathetic..

Pros

it was ok in the beginging

Cons

They like to hold your payments and want to harrass your customer by asking personal questions.

### "The best accounting app for all small businesses!"

February 15, 2018

5.0

It would be very helpful to have an auto bill number feature. Every time you create a bill for your purchases it gives you an option to create a bill number (similarly to invoice number for invoices).

Pros

Wave apps is an amazing accounting software and above all it's free. Of course he free part is the best part. Not only it's jus free but it is designed beautifully and very user friendly.

Cons

It doesn't keep a count of it so you have to manually enter it. It's not a big inconvenience but sure would help a lot.

### ""Sole"ly simple"

March 22, 2016

4.0

Pros

Integrated data connection to banking and credit cards. Stock visual reporting capabilities and ability to export data for more deeper reporting possibilities.

Cons

The setup of the accounts. Template for basic business (ie. sell cookies) is there, and adding to it is easy (ie. sell balloons in the cookie shop), but I've found many clients have issues such basic configurations. Perhaps they lack foundational accounting knowledge or web app knowledge, or simply the confidence to make such adjustments.

### "Good Value for Basic Payroll"

August 11, 2015

4.0

PROS: A simple, user-friendly interface for small businesses that want to ensure they are abiding by payroll regulations. Works well when set up with direct deposit. Customer support is usually timely and quite helpful. CONS: Doesn't handle vacation accrual very well and does not include vacation payable in reports so manual calculation required. Somewhat inflexible regarding date changes.

### "Great free accounting software"

August 23, 2019

5.0

Pros

The best thing is that it lets you switch businesses within one account. And it’s free - it has all the features that a typical small business would need and to save $50-100/month is great.

Cons

Software is great. Whether it ties in to tax apps as well, I doubt it.

### "Free Accounting Software"

August 29, 2019

5.0

Pros

Everyone is charging for software even for the startup where startups are struggling for sales. I love Accounting by wave because its completely free, Trust worthy, and Great support.

Cons

Indian Payment collection gateways are missing seeking for that in future.

### "Great program for creating/sending/managing invoices and other basics, especially for free!"

February 7, 2017

4.0

Well first of all, go read (well have a glance at) their ToS page. This was one of the first times I've seen a company summarize along-side their terms which was a nice touch. Secondly, they don't charge for their biggest product which is also nice. It works and it's simple. They also offer free services like receipt tracking which would be VERY useful and they have paid services like payroll and payment processing.

Pros

It's simply easy and FREE

Cons

It doesn't do as many things as I'd like it to, the back-end accounting features are a little lacking.

### "Wave bye"

February 6, 2020

3.0

I help my boyfriend with his construction business.

Pros

The best feature is that to start this is free to use depending on what features you exactly want to use.

Cons

There is no way to get a report for End of the year summary. You have to download month by month, separately.

### "A great free accounting tool"

September 13, 2019

4.0

I'm happy to have a real accountability tool for free.

Pros

It's a free tool. A great way to do your accountability, create propositions and to bill your customers.

Cons

It's only available in english. If you need to create invoices in another language, it can be problematic.

August 10, 2015

The payroll module in Wave is very easy to use once set up. It can process payroll, take funds from your account and direct deposit to the employee's account as well as make the payroll deduction remittances for you. The cost is very low and the module integrates into the accounting software thereby saving many steps. Anyone that requires payroll I recommend they use Wave.

### "Easy to use"

May 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

the service is rally easy to use and manage, even for those people, like me, without background in payroll management

Cons

It is really ugly and you can't customize the features and the service, because it doesn't left you enough control over the payroll

I run a consulting business and have always struggled with invoicing, accounting, tax forms etc... I signed up for Wave and quickly found that it solved all of my needs. It links with my bank accounts and credit cards, gives me professional invoicing and tracks all of my sales tax for free. Hopefully I will be expanding and can add in payroll. Definitely 5 out of 5.

December 9, 2019

4.0

Pros

It is easy for me to use, for the most part. It syncs with your bank so your financial info comes up automatically, which is nice.

Cons

Sometimes I find it hard to categorize my expenses. Sometimes it was "off" and did not match up with my bank account.

November 17, 2016

3.0

Was using this for one of my clients. He loved it because it was very easy to use. He only used it for invoices and estimates. From an accounting perspective not useful. It was very slow and the options available for the bank rec were tedious and changed sometimes after being reconciled. Very easy to mess up. Took alot of time to find out how to fix the issue.

I read about Wave online as I was researching accounting software options for small businesses. It's truly amazing. It has exactly the right functionality without overwhelming me with stuff I don't need. The analytics are ideal; the invoice and estimate functions make everything seamless and professional; and the expenses tracking makes my life very easy.

May 31, 2016

5.0

Wave is perfect for me. It's not too big, it's full of robust features, and I love the iPhone apps that go along with it, especially Receipts by Wave. Perfect for me to record my receipts on the go. Wave is super responsive and I had my 2015 financials done in mere minutes versus the hours it took me previously. It's truly saved me time and money.

### "Best Ever"

February 22, 2013

Was VERY simple to integrate into my woodworking business. Since most if not all my transactions are electronic, categorizing my expenses has never been simpler. Thanks for eliminating my shoe box :)

Pros

Simple & Intuitive, FREE

Cons

Would like integration with Google Merchant, but not that important to me at this time,.
