  • Hello, I'm from India and I only use the basic transaction entries feature along with basic P&L and Balance Sheet reports. I don't need any Reconciliation/Payroll or such features. So, after the recent announcement of Wave only serving users from US and Canada, I'm wondering if I can still continue to use Wave in the future. I've tried more…

  • Not sure why I received this email from WAVE. I use the software everyday for 2 businesses almost every day. Could this be a scam? " Thanks for giving Wave a try. Since you haven't logged in for several months, we're required to stop sending emails to you at this email address. This will be the last email you receive from us unless you con…

  • Hi everyone, I am an accountant wanting to use WAVE for churches - this way I can offer low-cost service to those small churches that cannot afford a full-service accountant. Is this a good platform and can I make as many business accounts (churches) as I need in my account? Thanks Craig

    My last transaction of $11,000 is now on hold and I have no insight into when I can access this money. This never happened before. How can I find out what is going on?

  • Hi there, An old chestnut here but one that is far more relevant now given that so much more products are being sent by courier or post. Have wave given anymore thought to developing a delivery note function.

  • How can I categorize a deposit transfer to one of my accounts from a bank account that cannot be linked to my Wave? The funds were transferred to me from an bank account which does not belong to me or my business, hence my inability to link it in Wave and represent it as the source from which the funds came from in the transfer. The funds transfer…

  • I'm looking to open a small business checking account for a business I'm starting. Which banks integrate best with Wave? Anyone have experience with Novo, Aslo, BlueVine or Radius Bank? I don't plan on much cash usage so would prefer to be 100% digital and online. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

  • Hi. I have a stack of refunds and at least for a couple of them that are within 90days, the refund option isn't available? I find the refunding of sales enormously tiresome and pathetic in this app. I love it for everything else, but its so asinine in its design. Also asking random strangers to access my acocunt to issue refunds form greater tha…

  • I have a concern regarding completing transfers to and and from accounts that are not, and cannot be linked to my Wave account. I periodically transfer funds from one of my bank accounts to someone else's account. However, in Wave, due to the fact that such an external bank account does not belong to me, and therefore cannot be linked to my Wave a…

  • I convert my monthly amazon ca sales to USD using the monthly CAD/USD avg exchange and enter this value in my Amazon ca holding account (asset). This is to account for my cash balance held in Amazon. Waveapps converts foreign currency to USD based on the transactions day spot rate. When Amazon ca deposits funds to my CAD bank I treat it as a tra…

  • I have just completed my year-long Wave experiment and I am (truly) very sad to say I've just ponied up the coin to buy the newest version of QB desktop. :disappointed: Wave is a wonderful platform that I really like, so I would be remiss to not explain myself. The bottomline for me is reporting capabilities. I need to be able to drill down, de…

  • Hello, Is there a way to record transaction in 2 currencies at the same time, using an exchange rate of our choice? (not the one used by xe.com) so for example, let's say i bought a tshirt for 10$. Exchangee rate on xe would say the conversion to LBP would be 15,000 LBP although, in real life due to rapid inflation in Lebanon, i actually paid 50…

  • I picked a used camera to use for our studio. How do I expense it as there is no receipt or vendor. Also, should I put it as an expense or a capital asset as it is a pricey camera. And finally, how do I set up depreciation for it- maybe at 3% per month?

  • My Wave account is linked to my bank account, yet I'm getting discrepancies with the following 3 items, 1. Total Income, 2. Wages, and Payroll Taxes, Each is off by over 20%. Income is understated, while Taxes and Wages are overstated. As a result, I'm showing a net less which is fairly close to my net profit when compared to my bank transactio…

  • I'm just assessing which invoicing system to use and Wave keeps losing points as I test it, find something missing / a nuisance and then see that other people have requested the same feature a long time ago and nothing has changed - apart from admin adding another post saying, "thanks for your feedback, we might implement that one day!" …
