"Great for Small Businesses!"
5/5
What do you like best about Wave Payroll?

Super easy to use and free. The Transactions section is great but could use some tweaking, the reports section is great for pulling PnL, profitability by customer, assigning customers to incoming payments, and charging customer credit cards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wave Payroll?

I wish the transactions section would automatically remember the categories I assign that I've used before (ie: "Rent" for the same vendor each month). I wish they didn't charge credit card fees for processing cc payments, or a way to automatically add the charge it to the invoice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pretty good, low fees."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Wave Payroll?

Easy features for accounting, tracking expenses, and payroll all in one place. It is a easy to use, well designed web application that can easily integrate with external bank accounts and payment sources. Ability to add multiple "business" income streams is nice too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wave Payroll?

The fees for processing are pretty comparable to other options, but it would be nice if it was less or if they have a payment plan for users who have smaller businesses and don't want to pay the monthly fees for credit card processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about Wave Payroll?

Wave makes payroll simple and easy to manage. Their support is great and they stay up to date with COVID grants, taxes, and basically make it so we don't have to think about it.

Wave gives employees direct access to their key documents, paystubs, etc. which is really important to the modern workforce. Printed tax receipts and stubs should be a relic of the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wave Payroll?

The week lead time needed to run payroll in the industry is constantly a sore spot. Sometimes things change, etc. and running an "emergency" extra payroll is difficult and time consuming.

I also wish they had more breakdown on benefits/bonuses to help determine if things are taxable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Payroll for small business"
5/5
What do you like best about Wave Payroll?

My staff appreciates the direct deposit, and I like that I can see the bills and payments to vendors all in one place! This is an affordable way for our small business to operate professionally and help us prepare to scale in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wave Payroll?

I wish I could pay 1099 contractors in one step, like payroll, instead of two (creating a bill and then sending it to be processed as a payment with payroll) since this is how my vendors expect to be paid (bi-weekly). The connection between bills, payroll, and contractor payouts is not super intuitive, and I have to slow down and walk through the steps each week to be sure I have completed the flow correctly.

"We LOVE everything about Wave"
5/5
What do you like best about Wave Payroll?

It is incredibly intuitive and very affordable. It also links with Wave accounting and Invoicing so for a Creative who hates dealing with the accounting/tax side of things, it's been a lifesaver. We switched after 15 of using QuickBooks and have not looked back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wave Payroll?

I have yet to find any issues with the payroll side of things and it conforms nicely to all PA requirements. As long as your employees are ok with direct deposit (I don't think they offer physical check services) it's super easy to set up and go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company ganpati computer using this for 2 years. And there is nothing like this if you can consider with price. You will get almost all features needed for your accounting is there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wave Payroll?

One one thing where they should improve there work is mobile app. It has some bugs also often crashed while using this.

But this is not big deal because no one carr for mobile app while you can do everything with computer. I hope soon they will make more stable mobile app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
