What is Wave?
Wave is accounting and invoicing software aimed at small businesses and self-employed people.
What does it do?
Create and send invoices, track expenses and keep double-entry books that produce profit and loss and balance sheet reports. Bank feeds import transactions for categorisation, and clients can pay invoices by card or bank transfer through Wave Payments.
Who is it for?
Freelancers, contractors and small businesses that need to bill clients and keep books in order for tax season without hiring a bookkeeper.
What are the alternatives to Wave?
QuickBooks and Xero are the larger paid packages with deeper payroll and accountant support; Zoho Books suits businesses already using other Zoho apps; Akaunting and Manager can be self-hosted.
