Wave has simplified accounting a way that no other platform has. It allows us all to be human beings who make mistakes and need to correct those mistakes.

It makes sense!

I would like a little more education about some of the features and general accounting how-to.

Jump in. You don't have to pay $60+/mo for complicated and confusing accounting software anymore.

Great and cheap

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Wave from other similar products?

Its free and super easy to use - really simple UI and reporting features are great

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Its free (no subscription required) - for invoicing you need to pay the standard 3% or whatever of credit card fees

What do you dislike most about this product?

Bc quickbooks is the 800 pound gorilla my accountant requires using it - will take time (if ever) for Wave to get to that level

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The fact that everyone uses Quickbooks makes it hard to avoid using, but in terms of features/pricing i far prefer Wave
