  • In the past, when I would categorize transactions, after settingg the category for a transaction the system would automatically give me a list of identical (monthly) transactions that have been made recently and give me the option to set the same category for all those transactions. It would also allow me to mark all of those transactions as revie…

  • Hi there, I am looking for help in adjusting our Sales Tax account in Wave. We switched from Quickbooks at the end of 2020, and started calculating GST on our purchases and sales. How can I adjust my current Sales Tax account to reflect the information prior to the switch? Thank you

  • I took a draw from my S-Corp SMLLC and my balance sheet "owners contribution" equity amount is negative. Is this a poor way to account for owners draw? Total equity which includes "Retained Earnings" is positive overall. Its just "owners contribution" that is negative.

  • Hi I just noticed that the last time my accounts were updated was about 4 weeks ago in Wave. I also don't see the balance any longer like I used to on the dashboard. Where is that balance now located and how can I force Wave to update my account? THANKS!

When the report below is set to "All Contacts" everything shows correctly. However when I switch to filter for just one vendor "Jesy", it doesn't show the Feb 20th transaction where that …

  • Hello, I am new to wave, and was just setting up my business information for invoicing and I see that the province / state list for Pakistan is very outdated. It is however also mandatory and shows up on my invoice too. For example I am in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa which was renamed from North-West Frontier more than a decade ago. The list still has the …

  • Until recently (the last month or so) automatic matching of bank transfers as described in Transfers Transformed has always worked for me when both sides of the transfer are imported. Recently this has changed and now despite both sides of the transfer being imported they will not detect each other and I have to manually select the account which r…

  • Hello, we apply both GST (5%) and PST (7%) for services provided on our invoices. We have several line items billed at half hour and when both taxes are applied, it would auto-calculate the taxes amount for that line items. The total taxes amount for all line items are off by several cents, which I assume is caused by lack of decimal places intern…

  • I'm starting a farm/homestead and would like to keep my books with Wave. I understand it doesn't track projects...that's fine. My question is, what business type should I use when setting up and how does it know how to handle the tax side of things? For instance, Quicken and QuickBooks have you "map" the tax line for each category you se…

  • I imported my customers using the CSV template I downloaded from the WAVEAPP site. It is missing a column for state, so I assumed WAVE would translate the state based on the zip code. However, it did not. Now I have to go edit every customer I imported an add the state. Is there a mistake in the template?

  • When someone pays by check, it's recorded manually. In transactions, it shows as "payment for invoice." When I make a mobile deposit with the check (upload a picture of the check and amount to the bank app), it creates another transaction, which is a duplicate.
