Overall Satisfaction with Wave Accounting

Wave Accounting was very useful for managing all of the accounting for my marketing consulting practice. I was able to issue invoices, track expenses, and manage basic bookkeeping easily. The user interface was easy and intuitive and made the tedious task of accounting easier for someone who's not an accountant.
  • Sending Invoices
  • Expense Tracking
  • Invoice Tracking
  • Managing Accounts
  • Wave made tracking payable and receivable accounts easy.
  • Wave is easy to use for non-accountants, so you don't have to pay a bookkeeper/account to manage things you can track with the software.
Wave's price point was in line with what my company needed to manage basic accounting (payable and receivable accounts). It made it easy for me to issue monthly invoices to clients and track when invoices were paid. The software makes these tasks easy to manage and inputting data for accurate accounting and invoicing is a breeze. It really offers a lot of flexibility, so you can use the software the way you need it.

The usability is a major benefit to Wave. The online user interface is easy to use and offers good customization so your accounts payable and receivable accurately represent your business finances. The tools are self explanatory and offer tool tips to make sense of anything you may not be familiar with.
I've only had to reach out to support once and they were quick to respond and offered valuable insight to resolve my issue quickly. The team is knowledgeable and if the person you're dealing with doesn't have an answer for you, they get back to you quickly with an answer. It was clear that the support team is genuinely concerned about users making the most of the software.
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.
