  • Hello, I have uploaded credit card transactions into my credit card accounts and I am now uploading the corresponding receipts. Somehow when I categorize the receipts, instead of matching up to the transaction, it creates a new entry. What am I doing incorrectly?

  • Hello, it seems with the new wave migration that all my Dashboard and detailed information is gone. The company no longer shows as an option to select. I've sent two requests through the online help center and no one has responded.

  • Him I have been using wave for several years to keep track of our holiday units, invoices etc. All has been good, but all of a sudden masses of transactions that I had paid invoices with, have now lost their categories. I major pain in the a--, making it totally worthless to continue.

  • Hey All, I run a digital marketing firm, and am new to Wave. I have already invoiced my customer and am having difficulty classifying their Ad Spend account. I initially approached this as an Asset account to simply hold the funds until they needed to be used. Wave is asking me to classify the Income account to receive payment however. I went ah…

  • I'm having trouble accounting for my Square transaction fees in the upgraded system. I used to be able to split the transaction and then enter the full amount of the sale, then enter the amount of the transaction fee in a negative format to account for the fee. It keeps giving me an error code an won't allow me to do it now. How can I do this on t…

  • Hey folks, firstly, apologies if this is the wrong place to post this! I'm using wave accounting and love it but I'm still using the zoho system for my receipts because I cant group my receipts into buckets or projects to report out on them and track them easily. Is this a possibility?

I'm actually working on the account of a client (I'm a bookkeeper). Does it possibly have something to do with my status as a collaborator (I have the full view, edit, send …

  • Hi everyone! A couple of months ago we tested Wave since we were looking to replace our outdated spreadsheets system and improve our income & expenses record. We have finally decided to go for it but due to the fact that no information has been recorded in the last couple of months the accounts balances are not accurate. I am trying to take th…

  • At least, I think this must be a newbie question... When I go into Reconciliation and open my business checking account, I'm seeing withdrawals listed as Credits and deposits listed as Debits. That makes zero sense to me. Am I missing something obvious, or is something wrong? I started with Wave mid-year (came over from 17Hats) and am trying to …

In other words, I, as an employee of the Parent, get customers to sign a contract. Then my personal company contracts to the parent to do the work that I, as an employee, was awarde…

The upload line goes for a while then nothing, no error, no instructions, nothing. A small portion of my receipts will be hand written, and of course I need to cat…

  • We have a vacation rental business. When a cottage is rented we must charge a 3.5% lodging tax. (I believe this is called a primary tax) Then we must apply both a provincial and national tax on top of this total (These are both compounded taxes). Wave Accounting only allows 1 compound tax to be applied. Is there another way I can set this up?

  • I am running accrual basis for my business. When I receive an invoice from a contractor, I upload to Wave as a receipt. I then merge the receipt with the payment made through my checking account. When I merge, the date of the transaction matches the invoice date. So, if the receipt date is Aug 30 and the payment is Sept 8, the transaction date sav…

  • Hi, I remitted my HST to the CRA and now that the bank transaction is in Wave I'm trying to figure out how to apply that transaction to my HST Payable. HST Payable is not an option for the transaction category, but if it was I believe that would do what I'm looking for. Is there another method to account for the HST remittance that I'm maybe not …

  • As a business in Ontario I have to charge (and pay) the blended GST/HST rate of 13% on most transactions. Ordinarily this calculation goes off without a hitch. That said, in some instance I need to be able to modify the actual amount of tax charged or paid. For example; duty on an imported shipment. The cost to clear the shipment with Canada Post …
