It's very easy to use and can help process payroll, send invoices and keep track of expenses. > > **Cons**: In the recent past, I've had issue with them processing tax payments on time, and their support has significantly decreased from the past. ----- ### "Must have for small businesses looking to grow\!" — 5.0/5 > **Pauline** | *27 July 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Invoicing options. Ability to collect payment on invoices. Connecting banking transactions and reconciliations. For a small business having a payroll program that's affordable and manageable while they take care of remittances and off boarding. Financial tracking for profit and loss reports is extremely helpful as well. Open chat system with questions and answers; If answers aren't readily available, the support team follows up with an email to assist. The automation with sync banking and categorizing expenses and income is vey useful for identifying balancing books keeping your tasks on track. > > **Cons**: Not sure if it's been updated or integrated as of yet; the ability to have a schedule and dispatch for jobs related to the invoices. > > Been very pleased with the services as a well rounded provider. Would recommend for any and all new businesses just starting out that need assistance with Payroll, Bookkeeping, Accounting, Invoicing. This platform has enabled me to grow my business without the huge additional costs that other providers charge for features you're not ready for. ----- ### "Payroll Fiasco Nightmare" — 1.0/5 > **Laura** | *1 July 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I used to love her, but I had to kill her. At first, she told me everything I wanted to hear. Now the true colors are here, just another software who had it good and then screwed it up. We were so loyal and loved the invoicing and ease and costs, but this is now unsustainable. > > **Cons**: Payroll fiasco. Couldn't run payroll after a software integration upgrade and we were unable to receive any support or assistance. > > Wave was great until they upgraded their payroll and left ALL of the customers out of the lurch. The lack of communication, inability to even contact anyone except an AI chat bot, and lack or response to tickets is asinine. This has been the worst experience ever. I had to write paper checks to my employees. It has been an absolute disaster. ----- ### "Affordable Invoicing Option" — 3.0/5 > **Kimberly** | *28 December 2025* | Executive Office | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: I did like that there is a free option available. If you are just starting out as a new business owner and want to get your bookkeeping and invoicing process set up before getting a client, you do have a free option that isn’t a trial. > > **Cons**: Even though the version I had was free, I didn’t like that I couldn’t take off their logo on my invoices without paying for a higher tier plan. ----- Page: 1 / 70\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/178021/wave-apps?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/178021/wave-apps) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
