Receivables (unpaid invoices) are the 'cheapest' source of capital for any business. However all businesses, including corporates, struggle to manage it well. While ‘Customer Intent’ is usually touted as the core problem, the true reason : traditional, in-efficient & disjointed collections process These workflows don't get addressed by ERPs and CRMs. It's further aggravated by lack of utilisation of other financial services for AR (eg bureau data, risk scores etc).

Numberz
[Numberz] is best for any SMB or Mid Market business as they automatically create the Invoice which is required during filing the GST and paying taxes. As they save and reconcile each and every transaction. This software is also best because it saves CA cost and time as we are already ready with the every invoice which is required to file an ITR annually. Also this software gives us a feature to file our ITR by ourselves by clicking and uploading the required documents.

Wave Accounting was used for a small practice without a lot of the accounting considerations a large company would have. For the price, you really can't beat what Wave offers out of the box. All of the basic tools for things like invoicing and expenses are all easy to use. End of year accounting is easy with exports of data.

  • Reconciliation is very difficult with multiple Wave transactions that need to be deleted or merged before it can be matched to a bank transaction.
  • Payroll worked fine for us but took several days to get it set up. We have switched to another bookkeeping system and another payroll system. Canceling with Wave took several days and they charge $6 for something even though the month was paid for in advance.
  • Credit card processing is nice and worked fine for us.

Cons

Wave
  • I know that credit card processing is a way for Wave to make money, but I really wish they offered ACH payment on Invoices.
  • I do cash-based accounting, which means I have to make little journal entries at the start and end of each year to get my books to balance because Wave wants to do everything differently. This should just be a setting to flip, whether you want cash-based or accrual-based.
  • They use Yodlee for bank connection, which doesn't play nice with 2FA. Pretty much every time I log in I have to re-enter credentials, get a code sent to me, reauthenticate, and know that I'm going to have to do it again next week. Not really on Wave, but wish they could get it together nonetheless.

I am a professional bookkeeper and I have no problems using Wave and all of it's features. I can see that certain individuals who have no accounting knowledge might struggle with a few different features and entries, but that is why Wave has an emphasis in connecting users to Wave Pro's who will walk them through things

Wave does tend to slow down when filtering your transactions screen especially by date. This is more of an issue when trying to trouble shoot certain transactions or clean-up a set of books.

I never had to call Wave Support as we barely experienced any support-related problems on our side. However, I do know a few people that complained about Wave support. It would be nice as well, though if they could have more in your face tutorials for new users or how-to videos should we struggle to do something

Numberz
Numberz has a interactive and easy to use GUI in comparison to all other Billing Software's. Its can be used by any person even who don't have any knowledge of accounts and finance where as we need to learn to insert the entries into the other software such as tally. This software automatically fill the required fields such as GST and any other taxes.

Wave is FREE for most functions. Payment processing costs no matter where you go (as does payroll or taxes). Wave rises above tools like QuickBooks Online because they know that for our small firm, being nimble is the name of the game. We don't need exhaustive reporting and management like QB offers and we certainly don't want to pay for it

  • Wave has been ROI positive for our company. With not having to pay for the service we can use our money for growing our business.
  • The fees on credit card transactions for invoices are reasonable especially as we don't pay a monthly subscription.
  • The invoicing feature has made our lives easier for us and our customers. The invoicing piece and AR tracking has been ROI positive as well.
