Easy to use platform and quick learning curve to pick up the basics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sadly back in 2020 Wave stopped supporting live bank feeds in the UK which forced me to move to a new provider Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that firstly, it's free for everything I need to do. I also like the receipts app, but they recently discontinued this feature, so you have to direct upload to the site. I would say this is the best accounting software for a service-based business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There can sometimes be double entry problems, but it seems that they are fixing this glitch to be a little bit more intuitive to find matching duplicate transactions. It used to take a lot more of my time when reconciling. It also has limited functionality when it comes to having a physical inventory-based system. They are just now trying to integrate with Stripe for online payments, but their ability to work through sales tax, nexus, and the like is VERY limited right now.

1 - Hundred of app integrations

2 - Easy to collaborate with another person (CA or Accountant), Very easy to share information with them.

3 - Easy to find wave experts and online resorourse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1 - The mobile app is not user-friendly.

2 - Customer support improved a lot, but still lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy it is to set up and run invoicing for small businesses. I can customize my invoices to reflect my brand and meet my needs for recurring invoices and one-off invoices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only improvement I might suggest at the moment would be to make scheduling when invoices are sent a little more flexible. For example, I would like to avoid sending invoices on weekends or holidays, but can only set it for the 1st Tuesday, a specific day, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wave is great for the solo-prenuer! It's completely free to use and has many features that help you keep all your accounts and records straight. You are still limited to what reports are premade, but with only this information you can make whatever report you would need to run your business. They are continuously adding features and integrations, including a paid for tax service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the platform allowed for a straightforward way to download your raw data. However, this is not a fatal flaw, and if they provided this feature, likely they would charge for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wave is a user-friendly accounting software that is easy to use. It allows a novice such as someone that is self-employed to do their own billing and invoicing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike about wave it is what it is. A simple accounting software that is easy to use for those that are not accountants, It is not made for complex accounting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the versatility of Wave for being a free product. It does all the things I need and things I didn't know I needed. It's much easier to use than QuickBooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it had a built in budget instead of the provided spreadsheet. It's nice to have everything in one place and would rather not have to switch between a spreadsheet and the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I started using Wave it was entirely free for people outside of the US/Canada. It made my start into entrepreneurship easier. I was able to keep track of all invoices and payments, and the reporting feature offered great insight. It supports both mobile and web usage so thats a plus.

I don't particularly appreciate that it has stopped being free for persons outside of the US and Canada. Now I will have to consider using a different invoicing tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User Experience

Good functional coverage

Reporting and tracking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Edit feature of transactions is a bit cumbersome

Need to have an International version Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is extremely simple to use and follow. You can do almost everything QuickBooks and/or Xero can do for free. The only charge comes in if you decide to process payments with them. Which I highly recommend too because it gives your business a very professional and modern payment method for clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting is somewhat basic and difficult to get granular and detailed. Yet it provides everything needed to get proper accounting and reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
