  • I would like to use Wave for accounting, with Quickbooks Online for Payroll processing. However I'm seeing a problem. Wave does not accept for upload the .iif files that QB Payroll exports. Wave support has indicated that there may be a 3rd party conversion that would help, but I can't seem to find that. Have any users here successfully found …

  • I am sure it has been asked before but can anyone quickly advise whether it is better to import transactions in OFX format or use the Google sheets Wave Connect?

  • I have a concern about auto merge. i often add transactions manually that have extensive special expenses. A credit card payment is a great example of this. One transaction may have 8 or more splits. When the program sees the same amounts clear the bank, it will merge the transaction. What happens to the way I posted the transaction in the first …

  • I just set up a Wave account for my personal finances to try as an alernative to Mint, and so I can learn Wave and hopefully be able to switch my actual businesses bookkeeping to Wave. My question is, I have one connected Savings account with a balance that is allocated to about 10 different accounts in a paper ledger book. These are "sinking…

  • I’ve always been a little tortured that description is kind of a sub field of items on invoices. This is really a glaring problem now that I’m trying to import from google sheets with the wave connect app. I can’t import descriptions along with the “item name”. Most clients won’t accept a general description. If there’s no solution for that, I mig…

  • Hi - some of my income comes in from another currency (USD vs CAD for my business currency) but I can't see any way to account for this. I've found an article that says you can set an account currency and a transaction currency but I don't see that when I edit a transaction or an account. To be clear, I'm not converting currency here; I receive s…

  • Hi, has anyone had an issue where a bank stopped updating? We use Capital One and Brex and Brex hasn't updated in 5 days. Both Wave and the bank say there is no issue on their ends. The bank connections page typically says Last Updated X days ago and that has disappeared from wave as well as the balance.

  • Hello. We secured a long term renter with a security deposit and first month’s rent. They paid in 2021. But the rental period begins in 2022. How do I count the rental income? Is it counted in 2021 or 2022? I don’t want to get hit with unnecessary taxes in one year if I don’t have to. And if 2022 do I just simply edit the date of the imported tr…

  • Hello, currently when I make a tax payment from my business checking account, that payment is getting recorded as a tax payment and appearing under liabilities as a negative amount. In 2021, I made payments of $400 last year for quarterly taxes, however, the services I offer in my business do not require me to collect taxes from customers on my en…

  • It is common for my clients to deposit an expense advance into my bank account... i.e. for a long-distance drive, they will advance gas, tolls, hotels, meals, etc. At the end of the job, I submit all receipts or as the clients say sell them my receipts. Considering that this isn't taxable income how would I record this advance and my expenses du…

    I am aware that the Wave Money app allows you to copy and paste the routing and account numbers. However, I have a Client that is insistent upon receiving an actual ACH form for payment. Can Wave/CFSB provide this?

  • When I split a transaction into two smaller (deposit) amounts, it results in 3 transaction which doubles the original amount. I can merge the new smaller amounts with matching payment amounts but since the original deposit is still there, it's pointless.

  • Bug: I can not add a negative amount despite all of the posts and chat box solutions... The negative sign disappears as I start typing the first number. It allows me to put a negative after the number but then doesn't recognize any amount in the field and leaves an imbalance. Improvement: This still does not work well because you are forced to…

  • Since adding a vendor is optional (but important for my needs), is there any easy way to easily identify purchases that are made that do not have a vendor attached? I thought I could run the report of Purchases by Vendor and it would generate an "Unknown" entry, but that isn't the case. In fact, I specifically removed a vendor from one…

  • It is so annoying that there is another click that has to be done on transactions. It doesn't serve any purpose whatsoever to have that in there. I obviously want to see the field when I've pushed the arrow. Having to click something else again is just a timesink and stupid,

After reading the two posts above, I set up Recurring Invoices - one for each day we're open. Then, at the end of the day I enter the total the amount b…

  • Hello, I am looking for some guidance or to see if anyone has a nifty idea. I am in a situation in which one of my vendors will be purchasing an item from my company. They would like to do a payment deduction. How would I best track the deduction from the normal pay that my vendor/contractor would receive. An example of this is say the item being…

  • Popular payment app Cash App is available for Android and iOS. Cash App's popularity does not guarantee everything will work out in the right direction. Users of Cash App dislike pending payments like Cash App Direct Deposit Pending and other similar errors. It is however one of the more secure and reliable methods of payment. A majority of transa…

  • The transaction names that get imported can be anywhere from "fine" to "utterly useless." Can we have auto-rename rules? So when I get a transaction from a connected account it often looks like WFCS TYPE: CREDIT ID: PCG0000001 CO: WFCS Which is a mess when there are hundreds of names with jibberish like this. I want to have…

  • I understand how to add a new business. I have also scoured the forums and haven't found the answer. How do you add a new business but select the entity as an LLC? It sounds simple because upon signup you can select sole-propietor, partnership, LLC or Corporation, however, when adding a new business it is not available. Upon selecting LLC during s…
