Going by the mantra: easy, free accounting software for your small business, Wave delivers exactly what it says on the tin. Note: for U.S. and Canada only.
This user-friendly, cloud-based accounting service allows you to track your income and expenses, send invoices, run reports and perform numerous other tasks, free of charge.
Unlike other services that force you into a paid plan after a brief trial period, Wave is free indefinitely — that is, unless you need to process payments or perform payroll tasks.
The invoicing aspect of Wave is impressive for a free service and allows you to set automatic payment reminders to customers. Invoices can be customised to match the look and feel of your brand.
The Wave dashboard provides a brief overview of all aspects of your firm’s financial health so you can see at a glance where your priorities lie.
There is a free 30-day trial of their commercial Payroll service available, alongside the free accounting and invoicing plan.
Want to manage your accounts when out of the office? Then be sure to download the Wave smartphone app (available for iPhone and Android devices). It’s easy to use and allows you to bill your customers as soon as the job is done.
