  • I just joined Wave and I'm really excited to get more organized, as I'm having to do more myself now. When you set up your accounting, did you start at the beginning of the year? I'm looking at putting my charges into categories and wasn't going to go back further than this year.

  • Hey everyone, I hope you're all very well and it's great to join the community! I had a quick question regarding the integration of my business bank account (Starling) into Wave. I've connected my bank account to Wave but I've noticed that it's not picking all transactions up (particularly income). It also isn't recognising expenses as expenses,…

  • Hi, I added a bookkeeper in Wave but they cannot see any of the imported transactions or account histories. Also their Chart of Accounts has just the default entries and they don't have any of the custom entries I added. They need to be able to see all the account balances and imported transactions so they can reconcile, etc. How do I get them to …

  • I need to submit my business return to CRA and because my first year was very simple (zero revenue, very few expenses), I don't want to use my accountant for this (I have another business that is much more complicated and he and my bookkeeper use Quickbooks to manage bookkeeping and accounting for that). From what I can tell, Wave doesn't have an…

  • Say I sold a property for cash for 10k, with 1k of that paying for closing costs for an income of 9k. What is the best way to log this transaction? Currently I'm adding 2 transactions, one "Sales" deposit transaction for the 10k income, and one custom "Title Fees" withdrawal for the 1k expense. I'm not a huge fan of this as it'…

  • Hi there, Quick question regarding expenses paid out of pocket. The only expenses incurred by our business in 2020 were paid out of pocket. I listed all of these expenses in the owner investment/drawing account type. When I run our balance sheet to prepare our taxes I noticed theses expenses show under equity. Is this correct? or should these exp…

  • I have linked my business bank account to my Wave accounting system. The transactions are importing without problem, but I noticed that my bank balance does not show on the balance sheet under my assets. How can I rectify this? Or do I need to do this manually? Thanks for you help!

  • Hello, I need urgent help!! We have EUR as functional currency in Wave. We also have bank accounts in HKD and USD. I noticed however that in many cases, the converted amounts in EUR are completely false making the whole accounting false. I am attaching a screenshots for reference. Please help!

  • I tithe off of my business income and it, of course, appears on my bank statement. When doing a Reconciliation, it shows as a business expense, but is NOT a business expense. Any suggestions on how to handle this transaction when doing Reconciliation? Should I just move the amount to my personal account & then tithe?

  • I had another accountant clean things up in Wave for 2019 but last year was so up and down that I couldn't make the leap to hire someone on a regular basis. That has resulted in my 2020 in need of help I'm sure. I am more of an email kind of guy as I'm trying to learn how to get things setup and run correctly moving forward. I'm also super busy…

  • Hi, I'm self-employed in San Francisco, CA. Every quarter, I pay my estimated quarterly tax payments of which, I understand, half is a business expense. I record them as "Drawing - Allocation for Income Tax". Question: what's the correct amount to input into Wave? a) The full amount of the quarterly payment, or b) Only half, since that'…

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…

  • I have problems with the updates from Bank of America which are 2 -3 days delayed. Does anyone have a brilliant idea on how this can be handled? I need the updates to be done at least once a day if not twice a day. Two to Three days behind makes it impossible to handle the bookkeeping and manage the finances.

When I go to Transactions I can see the new transactions from my bank and have categorized them. In addition, the Transaction screen is showing the correct balance for m…

When it comes to Wave, I now have the following problem: 1. Although the bank account is closed, Wave still shows its ending balance. 2. I haven't received the …

  • I get a dozen or so bank card deposits every day. Description begins "5/3 BACNKCARD SYS...". I'd like to have these automatically assigned to the Income category I created named "WorldPay Merchant Account". Currently I have to check the boxes and manually edit the category. Thanks in advance.

  • Is there a feature in wave, where there is a category for unallowable expenses to reduce the cooperation tax bill? ie a business lunch for clients can be paid for using the company card, but is not a tax deduction expense.

I doubled checked everything, and found out through the Trial Balance that it is unbalanced by t…
