  • I'm an international user (there's no option to link my bank account to Wave), with not much accounting experience. I'm trying to find out how to enter my credit card information in Wave Accounting. I created an account for my Cash Back Credit Card under "Liabilities and Credit Cards". What I'd like to know is what is the best approac…

  • As a sole proprietor, I have set up a solo 401(k) that I plan to contribute to both as employer and employee. I assume that I should record employee contributions as owner drawings, but I'm curious as to how I should record employer contributions. I see there has been some discussion of this in the past, but with recent updates to Wave's interface…

  • Many of my receipts might have multiple categories within a single receipt. I was surprised that I can't create multiple 'split' categories while editing a receipt. The only way I could seem to do that is to select a single category then go edit the transaction splitting it for the multiple categories. Would be nice if it could be done directly…

  • Hello. In the previous version of Wave you could check the current reported bank balance against the balance Wave calculated based on transactions. After the migration I believe it showed a way to do this quick check still, without having to do a full reconciliation - this was very useful to me. I have searched the forum and quick help guides, but…

We are a small Not-For-Profit animal rescue and education organisation and have recently been victims of an accountancy scam. We are hoping for a Wave Pro accountant to perhaps donate a little bit of time helping us fix our system up…

  • A similar of the scenario is in the below post. https://community.waveapps.com/discussion/comment/15336#Comment_15336 My immediate thought is to have a separate section before the "Post to Accounting" button, and show related transactions from bank (of same amount, from same payment account) so that I can combine the following three …

    Last week we had a payroll transaction and amount was deducted from account. There was a mistake on payroll and bank reverted the money back to account. Now it is showing deducted amount as "Uncategorized Expense" and reverted money showing as "Sale". How to category them? I cannot put them as "Transfer" because both…

  • I wondered if you could help me find a way to mark invoices as paid without there being an actual income written on the account? The nature of our business means that we invoice our tutors for a commission for their private tuition work. These same tutors also get paid for other assignments direct through us. We tend to then deduct the payment d…

  • Wave is still a great product even though it isn't going to be MTD for VAT compliant - this doesn't impact on you if you aren't VAT registered, nor if you are VAT registered BUT have turnover below the VAT threshold. With developments in the pipeline for downloadable reports that will work with MTDVAT bridging software (VitalTax is a free product…

These payments are NOT income until I remove them from the trust account when they are earned, which occurs later on . My questions are as follows: 1) How should…

  • Hi there, This is my first year with wave and I am just finalising my accounts, I am just checking I have created entries for my starting balances, however when I pull off the account balances report it says all my balances are zero, they should show my entry as the starting balance, not zero, is this correct? Thanks

  • My bank seems to report "Bill Pay and Date" but it does not specify the payee. This requires going back to my bank statement for each transaction in order to categorize. It would save a lot of time if we could sort by the transaction dollar amount. Then we can manually categorize easily. For example: My auto payment is $462 so if I could…

  • I am trying to import csv bank statements (just 2-10 records per file), but after i go through the whole process, the records are not showing up in the list of transactions. I tried several times with different files, and no success. Usually this used to work and transactions were visible practically immediately. Something broke?

  • In the P&L report under sales line, which represents the total revenue my company generated has a wide discrepancy against income collected. I've accounted for slight variance due to credits/refunds, however, this doesn't explain why there can be such a huge difference. I'm off by about $20k.
