    Hi @msamanoudy2.

    Thanks for letting us know! It's fixed now!

    I'm working my way through this document now and it's pretty great. Congrats; it must have been a major effort!

    One question (so far) has been bothering me, and perhaps this is a good place to ask about it. On the bottom of page 26 (second page of the Accounting Equation section), is the following equation:

    Assets = Liabilities + {Owner’s Investment - Owner’s Withdrawals} - {Lifetime Income - Lifetime Expense}

    I'm not following why there is a minus sign between the two bracketed sections. (I've bolded the minus sign.) Based on the equation above it at the top of page 26, I thought it would be a positive sign, with the second set of brackets returning a negative number if the company were unprofitable since inception.

    Thanks in advance.

    Edit: I just got to page 34, and I was pretty disappointed to see that there is no built-in feature for tracking business mileage. I thought this would be a standard feature. Regardless, after some searching I did find an article that explains a potentially clunky workaround using bills, and a workaround is certainly better than nothing. It would have been helpful if the Accounting guide referenced the workaround.

    Also on page 34, just a small note since I noticed it that there is a typo where the word "you" is repeated. (Search for "you you" and you'll see it.)

    Thank you so much for the feedback, @Just_Lurking!

    A few members of our team have worked tirelessly (or should I say... fearlessly) to bring this guide to life and we're quite proud of it!

    We've already forwarded it to the right folks, and those typos will be handled in no time. If you find anything else or if you have more feedback, let us know!

    This is very cool and thank you for sharing ;) Some of us aren't accountants even though we are using accounting software in Wave. It's nice that I could print it out too!

    Hi, can you recommend a wave acountant in the Netherlands?

  • AlexiaAlexia Member Posts: 3,314 ✭✭✭✭

    Hi, @Christoph,

    I see that you've already started a discussion under the right category stating what you're looking for. That's the best way to find one here. While we don't currently have a directory of Wave-savvy accounting professionals, plenty of accountants and bookkeepers do visit the Community. If one of them sees your discussion, they'll be able to reply and follow up with you with more information.

    Hi there, do you have the Spanish Version?

  • CharlotteCharlotte Member Posts: 671 admin

    We currently only offer support and support materials in English, but it looks like there are a handful of online PDF translators available. You might have some luck with those!

    Thanks for the guide, it might help me work out the best way to move from Quickbooks to WAVE on the accounting side of things.
