  • Hi - I need help with categorization. My siblings and I have a trust for the farm property we inherited from our mother. Would I list distribution payments as "owner equity" payments or in some other way?

  • Why is the Cash flow statement/report only available as an overview of a selected time period, yet on the dashboard one can see (but not access or print) a month by month comparison? I need to be able to access the month by month comparative. Without it I'm afraid this software s useless to my small business. I came across because of recommendatio…

  • Hi all! I'm starting a business and I want to buy a Phone and maybe a laptop for it, but I have no revenue yet... how could I mark this so then I can pay with my own cash and then get refunded? I know, pretty basic stuff, but like everything in setting up a business, it's learning by doing! Cheers! Pol

  • As you may already know, when you accept online payments with Wave, we automatically create a transaction in your accounting records. Once the payout for the transaction is deposited in your bank account, your bank connection will typically import that deposit transaction within two days. When this happens, Wave automatically creates a transfer b…

  • Hi, I ran a Sales tax report and are wondering why the (Tax Amount on Purchases) is $63.48 less than the (Purchases Subject to tax) X (GST rate). I have looked and all my purchased are including GST. Any suggestions on finding this anomaly would be helpful thanks?

  • It is surprising that only some reports have the export button while other do not. I was looking at the reports and noticed that Trial Balance has an export button, but Profit and Loss or Income Statement does not have. Businesses do need to extract these reports for regulatory submissions from time to time. Is this a problem with the browser or …

  • Hi. I am completely new to Wave, I am used with using Sage/Xero etc. When you look at the VAT100, is there a way of reconciling those transactions so that the next quarter you can somehow run the report which will show any transactions from the previous period which has not yet been included on a return?

  • Hi, I have processed a vendor invoice, paid $535.62 which included 10% GST of $48.69. I have paid the full amount and marked the invoice as paid $535.62 however, Wave is showing $48.69 the GST element as a liability? Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong? Seems wierd...would be grateful for any advice, thanks

    My company is new and hasn't made any income yet, but myself and my partner are spending money on expenses such as travel and conferences. What is the appropriate equity account to place these expenses? A separate owner equity/investment/draw account, or shareholder loan? We want to be reimbursed when the company starts to recieve income.

  • I have an operating corp and a holding corp. Holding corp owns operating corp. I own holding corp. Operating corp dividends its income up to holding corp. And holding corp dividends out to me, How should these dividend payments should be captured and categorized? It is unclear in the UI.

  • Bills should be downloadable as a document & Payments (expenses) for any transaction should have the option to be documented, just like sending receipts to customers from the invoices.

  • Hi all, I'm looking at my Profit & Loss statement and I'm seeing that Wave is recording: Payroll Gross Pay + Payroll Employer Taxes + Payroll Salary & Wages as operating expenses. This means it shows the payroll amounts twice as an expense and this expense is duplicate. When I look at Payroll Gross Pay, it shows in the books as Journal…

  • Wave is an excellent software package for the self employed (proprietor) entrepreneur. It easily keeps track of billings, collections and disbursements. It allows the entrepreneur to see his or her income at a glance. The income of a proprietor is revenue less expenses. There is no T4s issued for a proprietor - although a proprietor can have empl…

  • when I report my invoice as paid I merge it with the bank transaction and change the catagory to the service that the payment is for. The problem is when I go back into the invoices its back there again showing as not paid. If I leave the catagory alone the income does not show on my profit and loss report because the invoice has its own unique ca…

  • Is there a way to add a transaction's notes to reports? For instance, when reviewing a month's expenses, it would be good to see that this specific expense (currently reported with "Amazon.com" as a description), could have an additional column stating, "purchase of indoor overshoes; Amazon.com order number: 112-8152118-2514649&quo…

  • Hello! New to accounting. I'm trying to figure out how to 'set money aside' for a big bill at the end of the year. Licensing fees, for example, I have to pay every year and I'd like to make sure I have the funds available. Or lets say I want to put money aside every week to cover new furniture. How would I do that?

  • The owner purchases something with a personal credit card for the purpose of the business. Following this, an e-transfer is done from the company bank account to reimburse the owner. How do we track taxes paid by the company? There's this article, (https://support.waveapps.com/hc/en-us/articles/208622836-Handling-business-expenses-with-a-personal…

  • As 25th May looms closer, I need to get my GDPR information into line. Does anyone know how Wave is dating with GDPR? As you may know, if you deal with any personal data concerning someone in the EU (customer, supplier or anyone), GDPR applies. Breaches of GDPR mean a fine of 4% of your global turnover for the first offence, where you are based.…

  • Title doesn't really explain anything. I want to know about "Bills" inside the Purchases section vs the "Add Expense" inside Transactions. Am I correct in saying on the P&L Report they show up on the same place? A bill is one that is entered and paid at a later date? I pay all my bills as I get them so can't I just enter …

  • So Wave have announced they're pretty much back stepping from UK & EU customers - all bank links to be terminated from September for users with UK/EU based banks, and a clear decision too to abandon all hope of MTD for Income Tax compliance (potentially to come into effect in April 2021). Where does it leave you, the UK user then? Well, the …
