Numbers Crunch Themselves with Wave Accounting Saving Time for Small Businesses

New Free and Easy Way to Manage Business and Personal Finances


TORONTO (SaaS Newswire) – Wave Accounting today launched an online

accounting application that frees small business owners from the time-consuming steps of bookkeeping and accounting. Wave Accounting is the first integrated online application to track users’ business and personal finances, an essential feature for the many small businesses that manage business and personal finances out of the same bank account and credit card. And it’s free, unlike traditional accounting software.

Other free applications offer limited options, restrict access to features or put a cap on usage. Wave Accounting is the only full-featured online accounting program that is 100 percent free for small businesses.

Many small business owners do not possess a clear picture of what’s happening with their money. Or they spend hours logging payments into spreadsheets and hand-writing invoices. Wave Accounting does the work for them.

Wave Accounting connects with users’ banking and credit card institutions, automatically importing and categorizing transactions to provide a real-time view of the business’ financial health.

“The reality is that two-thirds of small business owners still stuff their receipts in shoeboxes, log expenses in spreadsheets and hand-write invoices,” said Kirk Simpson, chief executive officer, Wave Accounting. “It’s hard to find a market as large as this – and growing with the recession – with a pain point that still needs to be addressed. We took stock of the process that any small business owner goes through to stay on top of finances. Anywhere we could cut time, we did.”

With Wave, paper receipts become digital records. Even the application’s language is simplified, stripped of accounting terminology and replaced with plain English. Instead of “debits and credits,” users see “money owed to me and money I owe.”

Unlike traditional accounting software, Wave Accounting resides online. As a result, users can access their financial information from any device with a browser. Data is stored securely and backed up hourly to allow users to stay in business in the event of a system crash or hardware theft. No software downloads are required.
