"With a bit of tuning, I've got it working as a dream invoicing and accounting tool"
What do you like best about Wave?

I'm small and I can do all my monthly billing pretty quickly and easily! And it's free! I only pay when I decide to accept online payments and I can turn off the online payments for big invoices where I really don't want to pay the %. They have my business forever as long as they don't change the pricing structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wave?

Nothing really. It did take a few months to figure out the most efficient way to do things and figure out the settings I wanted to set for my specific workflow. Make sure that after a few months you play with settings so as to get more efficient with the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"wave is the easiest and best accounting software"
What do you like best about Wave?

Wave is super easy to use, quite intuitive and does everything I need for my small business. On top of that, the free accounting feature is THE reason I picked it and is just superb. Creating invoices is easy/great and the transaction updating is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wave?

Honestly, I have not found much to dislike. As a small business owner, this does everything I need and much easier than what I used previously which was quickbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ease of Use"
What do you like best about Wave?

I can create invoices from my phone and send them to the client. Just a couple of clicks, and I am done. This is a new app and they are working to add more capabilities and asking for feedback along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wave?

It is hard to set up payment for myself. The team should provide a list of things needed to set it up so I didn't pay for the capability and didn't have the requirements completed in the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great user interface with streamlined design"
What do you like best about Wave?

Great app and ease of use for small businesses. The fact it is free to use, with a great interface and being able to connect your bank account and credit card removes some manual process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wave?

Customer support feels like it can take forever to resolve, along with some lackluster features that are missing on the free tier version (as expected). There have been also some app glitches causing a reset of the app needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Accounting Software"
What do you like best about Wave?

The best method is to generate an invoice, which you may check in the drafts area before sending. We can set up recurring invoices, collect credit card payments, and keep track of unpaid invoices. Bank & Credit Card Reconciliation is one of the best option & its easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wave?

I cannot download reports month by month; they can only be seen annually, and I can't combine multiple reports at once. To prepare the financial cash flow is difficult Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
