    I would like to map some of my unpaid expenses to an account i set up in the Chart of Account name "Accrued Expense". At the moment all unpaid expenses in bills are mapped to Accounts Payable in the balance sheet. Can you advise how make changes for this. Thanks

  • I doubt that this is actually a "new" discussion.... Is it possible to create new categories of expenses? I have several areas of expenditures that aren't listed, or that I can't seem to find.

  • Is there a way to export searched transactions in Wave to an Excel or CSV file? If I did Menu > Accounting > Transactions > applied specific filter (eg. Category = GST) and clicked Apply, it shows all the transaction I was looking for. Now, I would like to export this searched transaction as an Excel or CSV file - is that possible?

  • I have purchase washer and dryer for my laundry shop which required an installation of facilities such as heater, water tank and gas pipeline; also renovation for the shop.

  • Hi everyone, I've been trying to read up a bit on this, but must confess I just find all very confusing. If I'm uploading bank transactions via a CSV file and this, naturally enough, contains both deposits and expenditures, I've only just tried this with my test account to make sure I lined up all the fields correctly (which worked, so Woo Hoo!…

  • My business is small (property rentals) and while it’s been useful getting things sorted to see that income and expense, the main purpose of accounting this way now is 100% about tracking a Personal Loan to a family member, I’ve managed to get the past 4.5 years recorded properly so far, but this has only been for things that can actually be seen…

  • I have expenses for a small enterprise that are to be reported separately from my main business but are run through the same bank account as my main business. There is an other income account type category but no other expense account type category to create accounts in. If I create another account called other income it will just be totaled with…

  • Hi, I have recorded many transactions for sale into one account only under "SALES". However I want to reorganize my sales into under few names of sales. I already change the item/product into new name. But it can only be seen in P&L only for new transaction. ALL the transactions(old) could not reorganize into new names accordingly. I…

  • Hello, I'm having a problem reconciling one month of our credit card transactions. I've entered the numbers correctly, I've triple checked all the transactions and I'm somehow still off. The weird thing is, when I validate the last transaction, wave says it's all good, and then spits me out saying i'm off by $250. Using the different filters on…

  • Hello there, I am fairly new to Wave. It took me some time to 'get' that accounts from chart of accounts are the categories-)! what a naming confusion... has anyone brought this up before? Now that I got that- I added all my categories and they are showing on all my accounts- except on my credit card one. I can see them if I add the transaction …

  • Hi Wave and other users! We've been using excel to log in our expenses before we shifted to Wave. We would like to upload our transaction on Excel by converting the file to a CSV and then uploading it to Wave. I have followed all of the instructions listed in the guide provided by Wave: https://support.waveapps.com/hc/en-us/articles/208622596 H…

Currently, I have both in the same business in Waves, and split the downloaded transactions like insurance and utilities. This works for me, except for reporting. I have to export and manually edit the report to …

How to record this all? I guess there are two parts here: * accounting for invoices we issued - there is no income transaction to match my invoices. * accounting…

After that change it did upload the statement but with a new issue - it asked me to verify the columns which I did but it then turned the 'Money Out' column transactions i…

    Hi I have a personal Trust. The Trust asset is a portfolio of shares. Income earned is primarily dividends or interest and if shares are traded then capital gains. Expenses are typically accounting related such as management fees, bank charges etc. I also need to keep track of distributions to beneficiaries. What would be the best preset settings…

In doing so, my USD bank balance has been zerolarised but there is a remaining portion of SGD still showing on my balance sheet. I tried adjusting it via journal but that would not help at all. Is there any other way …

I also use a commercial software package which accounts for realized or unrealized gains on foreign exchange correctly. W…

  • How can I make sense of GST (Canadian sales tax) on my LLC's balance sheet? Or can I leave it off the books somehow? It will never make sense due to currency flucations. It will never even out and will always be off. GST is a recoverable sales tax in Canada, its not an "expense" like sales tax in the states. Example, I incur $10k (CAD)…

  • Hi! My Tangerine accounts stopped importing transactions around July 23rd. I tried to remove the connection and reconnect my accounts, but now I get an error when I try to connect to Tangerine. I've submitted two help tickets regarding this but haven't heard anything back. Is this happening to other Tangerine users?

  • I manually entered some of my rent as a business expense, drawn from the cash on hand account. I later transferred money from my business to my personal bank account to cover the rent. What category do I put the bank account transfer so it removes the debt showing in my cash on hand account?
