Wave

The modern and usable interface along with being free forever. It serves all my small business invoicing needs for my web design clients.

I love how quickly and easily everything integrates into Wave so that I barley have to add any income or expenses manually when I do my accounting at the end of each month. It makes tax time a breeze because i can just print out my income report and hand it over to my accountant. And really, once I had all of my categories set, going through my income/expenses at the end of each month takes less than 15 minutes. The invoicing feature is also handy so I can get paid from clients who are not interested in paying though paypal (which is what I normally use for invoicing)

I like the efficiency of the application. I am able to insert my client's information, my business information, my picture logo. I am able to retrieve invoices. I am able to use the application for Accounting in my small business. I am able to send the invoice directly from Wave. I also like that I am able to send payment reminders directly from Wave.

Wave is simple to use, has a beautiful interface, and is constantly coming up with new capacities to help me run my business on my own terms. I like that it is not intimidating and that I can send invoices to clients that are branded and easy to read. The checkouts are a great feature!

Easy to use and there is a free version if you need to just do some simple accounting/book keeping.

'm not sure how I ended up settling on Wave, but I originally planned to use it purely for invoicing. I'm the kind of person that generally spends way too long exploring options, but I just clicked with Wave straight away and haven't looked at anything else since! I really like their ecosystem and how well everything just works with the minimum of fuss, and over time I've entrusted it with all of my accounting.

The Recieipts app is incredibly useful to me, since I'm often using public transport and I'm terrible at keeping track of bus/train passes etc, so I simply snap a photo on the wave app and don't worry too much if I lose it. Ditto small expenses like food.

The invoicing is easily my favourite bit, they just work with the absolute minimum of fuss. I've got a graphic design background but I've never felt any need to have custom invoices etc, the basic Wave template with my logo on top looks great as is. Very well organised and just the right amount of customisation for me. I was also pleased to see the invoicing calendar supported setting a payment date of September 3019 - that got a little giggle out of a wedding client who's had to postpone her marriage several times due to ill health. Not particularly useful but at least I know their coding is robust!

My accounting needs are fairly simple, and I stopped using the link to my bank account directly since it just wasn't necessary (though it worked well), but it's been more than enough for me to keep track of expenses and earnings without needing an accountant. As the business grows and I take on employees regularly I may take a look at other options, but as a small independent sole trader it's been nothing short of brilliant.
