That it's free! And honestly, it has been absolutely perfect for my small business. I've been using it for about 10 years now and the software continues to improve all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the improvements come along pretty slowly, and I've had some minor issues disconnecting old businesses that are no longer in existence, but it really hasn't caused any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It makes accounting and invoicing very easy to do. I am able to prepare accounts with minimum accounting entries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has restricted usage in other countries that even needed this tool the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
How easy WAVE is to use when sending my clients invoices. I love that it gives you the option to select when you want it to send out reminders if an invoice hasn't been paid. The reporting options are also beneficial, especially when it comes to tax season and wrapping up the fiscal year. WAVE makes everything easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only frustration I have with WAVE is when it comes to uploading and tracking receipts. Each receipt has to be uploaded manually, which can be monotonizing. It would also be nice if WAVE automatically applied any late fees we have once an invoice becomes overdue. Save us from having to add in the late fees automatically Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how easy Wave is to use, how I can track all expenses, and run reports whenever I need them. Super easy to send invoices, get online payment and now even add payment links to websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A recent update makes uploading receipts a bit harder, but still easy to do. I just Iiked how you could upload them and the AI prefilled much of the info. Now it feels like a 3 step process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that Wave is free to use & easy to use. The fact that I can set up recurring invoices for my customers and manually send them is a major plus! I also really appreciate that Wave has an app that I can use so that I don't have to be connected to my computer constantly. We have not yet started to use their payment system, but it is something that we are considering.mpant. We will most likely begin to use their online payment system at the beginning of the new year.

The downside to Wave might be that I cannot set custom reminders. I have to use the pre-set times they have programmed into the system. Payments at our company are not late until the 10th of the month & I would like the option to set up reminders just then. However, this is a minor issue to get over when you consider how great Wave is! I can overlook this minor issue just to use Wave at my company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Wave App has given our small business the accounting power of a large company. It is simple, easy to navigate, and we don't find it limiting. Great for showing the tax man what he wants to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At one point, our debits were showing up as credits, and our credits were showing up as debits. This was solved later and might have been an issue with our bank. The customer service is non-existent on the free version so, if you have any issues, you are out of luck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's free, completely functional for accounting software, straightforward to learn, and can grow with you as your business grows. Once you start using the paid features, you'll find that it's very competitive pricing compared to alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They've made some changes to their design layout and user interface that made some accounting tasks take more clicks. However, they've made some adjustments to improve that and seem to be constantly working on their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Wave is a great low-cost alternative to more expensive software packages like Quickbooks, with the same functionality. Add ons make it a robust package without breaking the bank. It allows me to do most of the things I need without needing to be in front of a computer (it is mobile-friendly) and pass off the quarterly and payroll items to my accountant without losing control.

It took a while for my accountant to figure out how to best work with Wave - he was so used to Quickbooks. I dislike that they remove a dedicated app for reciept management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Straightforward and clear accounting software has many valuable features continuously updated with new options. excellent free options that can cover the needs of most people Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The website sometimes freezes when the connection is not very stable; you have to repeat the action more than once for it to go through. Not a lot of integration features are available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's one of the more affordable options out there, and if you use it out of the box, there is not a lot of complexity to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The customer support experience is really poor. They don't always respond to your emails even though they promise a 2-business day response time. Customer support chat is the only other option, but it can be a long wait and the agents like to disconnect you if you don't respond or they have a whiff of you being away from the keyboard for a minute. There is no call support option.
If your company needs to do anything custom like adjust statutory holidays (e.g. following provincial instead of federal stat holidays), then you're out of luck and will need to make many complex manual adjustments. The documentation around this is lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
