description Wave Overview
Wave provides cloud-based bookkeeping and invoicing for small businesses, including freelancers and solopreneurs. Its accounting system uses double-entry records and supports income and expense tracking, with reports that help summarize business activity. A free Starter plan offers a foundation for keeping records and issuing invoices without committing to a paid accounting subscription. The service also offers paid features and optional financial services, including payment processing and payroll where available.
Automatic bank transaction imports and receipt scanning are not universally free; access depends on the relevant subscription or add-on. Bank connections can reduce manual entry, while receipt scanning extracts information from uploaded documents. Wave suits relatively simple businesses that want browser-based accounting and can choose which automation they need. More complex operations may require a broader system, particularly when advanced integrations or specialized accounting workflows matter.
