Wierd that Wave couldn’t deal with inventory as QB does! It doesn’t allocate the purchased goods under the inventory! It allocated them as COGS directly which mean I need a JE every time I sell any of my goods. When I created a ‘Product’, It showed my only one price which is the selling price.

Love your program, thanks for everything you do and making accounting easy - hoping one day you will ad a VAT number field and a Description field so when looking at a list of all your invoices you can actually find a specific job without having to open every invoice till u find it

I’ve been using Wave Apps for a couple years now. It’s free except for the fees that come along with the payment processing. I use it for quotes and invoices and receipts and accounting, the end of year reports for my taxes. I really love it.

If you need a payment processor or you need a software that will handle all of your financials, I recommend this one.

You can also get it as a mobile app to take pictures of receipts and upload them, send reminders for invoices you have out.
