Makes my life easier for create and send invoices
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Wave from other similar products?
Other similar programs lacked some of the capabilities that Wave offers. Since I charge clients by the hour, I make heavy use of the billing tool. Provides easy-to-use setup to accept payments via bank transfer or credit card, automatically assigns sequential numbers to invoices, and keeps track of which have been paid and which have not. This feature is absent in many other simple business programs.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I use it sparingly due to my lack of extensive accounting needs, but it tracks income and expenses and integrates with its function. The feature that generates receipts to send upon receipt of payment is really attractive to me. The appearance of the invoices and receipts is very polished and expert.
What do you dislike most about this product?
My only recommendation for Wave would be to remember customer emails across all functions, so you don't have to type them every time you send a receipt. When it comes to collecting money, the fees are a bit high.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Wave Instead of having to create invoices monthly and wait for checks to arrive in the mail, it streamlines my process. It's fantastic how easy it is to deliver invoices to clients. Not to mention how great it is for sending regular payments.
Pros
- Enables Productivity
- Efficient Service
- Friendly Negotiation
- Security Protects

Excellent tax program.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Wave from other similar products?
I think it is very fast internally to calculate tax bases and it is a great relief to know that it is easy to export the documents, print them, upload them to the cloud, it has many properties compatible with other software with a phenomenal UI experience. it's just great.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Taking into consideration that taxes are necessary for society and the tax base is essential in a business, the software helps us keep everything under control, we generate balance sheets easily and adequately to be sure of what we must pay, avoiding tedious administrative fines. The design of the program is very functional with us in mind. on the other hand, the assets can be given a clear order and can be found in a clear and orderly manner.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Surely the customer service is a bit outdated, sometimes it is very difficult to find human advice and most of them reflect bots that give the same information.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I recommend that you try the new accounting administration of the future if you are interested in your business success.
