    I am using Wave for a local Scouts group and a great many of our expenses are processed as reimbursements to the leaders when they give me their receipts. So, I'm wondering if using the Receipts App might be a good addition for us? I've had a play and it seems fairly easy to use, but I'm afraid the request for accounts and categories could scare …

  • Apologies if this has already been discussed before but I am running out of time to get this sorted.

Then, about 10 days later when the actual payment was received, it was net of the merchant…

  • Thank you, I've been switching owners and emails around my businesses and everything worked as expected, although I was a bit puzzled in the beginning, it still was an intuitive process, I did find my way around "owners" "administrators" connected stuff, etc. It went smoothly, and I am very very picky and hard to please. Thank…

  • We are looking to start using wave, but scared as it asked for my business banking login details. Not even my own bank asks for that. Neither does stripe who tells me when money passes thru. Is this real? Do you really give your most personal bank login details???

  • Independent Contractors, working in CA, that live out of state, are now subject to a 7% tax. This is being withheld by the hiring company upon payment of invoice. How can I incorporate this into my ledger, as the invoice amount no longer matches the payment amount. I want to be able to track this tax as well.
