  • Wave, please bring back the advance feature. It's so frustrating it was canceled randomly with no explanation or heads up. We love Wave - but this has made us want to switch our systems over. Please comment below and maybe they will bring back Advances!! ! Jake

  • Hi everyone I would like to know how to make a backup monthly of all my accounts. My first problem is that clients fall in arrears and I have to write of the debt and thus delete these accounts. When they later get on their feet, many use old invoice numbers of deleted accounts and then I dont know who made the payment. A second thing is that I re…

    We [TRG] are a start-up company using Wave to handle most of our invoicing/payroll. Wave has been a huge help in our gains and success. I am a huge fan of the application and will recommend it to any small business start-ups I share a conversation with. I have yet to dabble into other features of the application, when I do I know I will have more…

  • Good day all I understand that wave saves its data on the cloud , which is backed up. But just for peace-of mind I would like to back it up as well. I googled it and it explained .... under settings there is a place to request a backup. ITs now 12 hours and I still have not received a mail ??? many thanks !

  • I set up a login and invited a client to join then realised that it is best if he sets up the company as he can connect the bank feed. 1) Do i delete my Wave account? 2) Do i join or add when i get the invitation from him? Do I need to use my current login or create a new one? Thanks

  • I never did get the PayPal integration to work so I set up PayPal as an account under Cash and Bank and manually log each transaction or allocate via invoice payments. I log the full amount and then add an expense for PayPal fees. When I withdraw PayPal funds to the bank account I categorise that as a transfer from PayPal. Am I doing this right? …

  • So the invoices that are paid through wave are not coming up on my income report? And I am not able to change these transactions. They don't seem to be classified as income for some reason.

I amend the amount received, and automatically get a gain/loos on currency exchange transaction as well as the transfer. This looks fine to me. The USD a…

  • In a February 2019 post, @Mani stated: I use Wave for personal account tracking since it is standard accounting and less like other products where they are too non-accounting focused for my preferences. I use a business profile to keep track of corporate travel expenses since I travel a lot. I realize this isn't your bread and butter use case,…
