Since our days with QuickBooks, we switched to Wave. It's always accessible. easy to use and works great with reports. Slight but not too difficult learning curve. We also use Wave for other accounting work.
  • easy to use
  • has been very reliable.
  • good transaction reports
  • clean interface, no confusion
  • Could offer automatic tax filing
  • maybe not good for growing business
It integrates with other systems, i.e. bank. There are several tools, and their help is always there. When we first started with the system, we were expecting more complexly that there was. The results were spot on. SO much better than our previous system.

  • Personal Support,
  • Don't care for the pop up bot
  • Takes a good few minutes to understand how reports are calculated
First is the cost. Since QuickBooks removed the inhouse solution and moved everything to the cloud, the cost for a small business is prohibited. Wave is reasonable in cost. Support for QB isn't great they are always trying to upsell and commit. Wave support in comparison is 100% better, and most of the answers are in their manual.
