I removed the transaction and their statement is showing correctly. However the particular invoice is showing unpaid (overdue) even if it was shows correctly on on their statement that the amount came off t…

  • My business donates 10% of each sale to a local non-profit as part of its business model and I am trying to figure out how I might go about accounting for this. I realize that I am unable to count it as an expense but just don't know how I should go about categorizing it in my accounting app. Any and all help would be most appreciated.

  • When someone pays an invoice for work I choose paid "cash" in "cash management account" Is this correct? If so what is "cash on hand" for?

  • I am finding adding transactions (expenses or incomes) to be so slow. I am constantly waiting for the application to catch up with my typing or searching. This happens on all fields when adding transactions. What are the common reasons for this? Is there anything I can do? I am based in Sweden, Europe. It is very frustrating - I like to work fast…

  • Is there an easy way to set up a recurring "owner's draw" within Wave? We have a 2 partner LLC and would like to set up something similar to a payroll for both owners (direct deposit). Since they aren't "employees" or "contractors" I didn't see them fitting here. At the end of the year, is there an easy way to look a…

    I only report Sales Tax collected to my state AFTER my customer has paid the invoice. The only sales tax report that I see in Wave shows all sales tax on invoices for the selected date range, regardless if the customer has paid that invoice, or not. Is there a way to find out how much sales tax has actually been paid by customers for a certain da…

  • I understand how to categorize a credit card payment using the transfer option so that it does not show up as an expense for assets. But how do you record the interest on the card which IS on expense?

    Hi, There is an option that comes up on every deposit within my Canadian accounts to apply it to an invoice. This option does not come up on my USD (in US) account which receives payments from american clients. To get around this issue, I am able to allocate these payments to AR, but now I can't figure out how to allocate individual invoices to …

    I am starting a company and plan to put some money in it to start functioning. I was reading about Owner investment/withdrawing, however, I was thinking more of a loan from me to the company. Would I still use the Owner Investment/Withdrawing? Or would I put that as a Liability? And finally how would I log all that in the transaction? (For example…

  • We are a small natural health company in Sweden using Wave. So SEK is the currency. At the end of the year, the Swedish tax authorities needs Sales Tax totals per percentage (6%, 12%, and 25%), and per currency (for example, Pound Sterling and Euros and USD). For example, if we buy books from Amazon UK for the company then we need to record a 6% S…

  • Hi, I have all my bank transactions listed under transactions in the accounting tab, rather than making each one as a purchase. When I run tax reports, it only shows tax from sales and purchases. How do I include taxes on items from my transactions in these? It's showing I paid $0 tax on purchases because they are listed as expenses.

  • Looking for a "best practice" for using Wave. We are an education center where the clients prepay for a semester and our semester happens to fall across two fiscal years. I want to create an invoicing process that can make it easier to calculate the revenue when it actually occurs. For example, Invoice #1 = $1,000 (10 classes X $100 pe…

  • In the invoice, taxes are calculated automatically based on the specified %ges, But such calculated amounts may result in fractions. As a practice, we round off such fractional amounts to the nearest rupee... how to achieve this in Wave? Can the calculated tax amount allowed to be edited at least?
