Our mission is to help you, the small business owner, be more successful.

How? By letting you do your thing. You already have enough to look after, so back-office tasks should never waste your valuable time. With Wave Accounting and Wave Payroll, we’ve created integrated tools that clear your plate for the work you really want to do.

Wave Accounting launched in November 2010, and is signing up tens of thousands of new small business customers per month, with users in more than 200 countries! Wave Accounting is an intuitive, 100% free, easy to use accounting application that’s built for small business owners, not accountants. (Actually, accountants love us too! In fact, we have our own Pro Network just for accountants.)

Wave Payroll launched in Canada in February 2012. The U.S. version of Wave Payroll is expected in mid-2012. Wave Payroll lets you pay your employees by direct deposit, and manage all your deductions without ever touching a tax calculator again. It’s available for a low, everything-included price, with no setup fees or hidden costs.

We’ve been recognized with various industry awards, including the Deloitte Companies-to-Watch Award, and the People’s Choice at CIX.

Wave Accounting features include: invoicing, expense tracking, dashboards, reports and more. 100% free. No more shoeboxes and spreadsheets. Wave takes away the pain and the wasted time, so you can focus on... well... anything else that matters to you.

James hates the challenges that small businesses experience while trying to meet their accounting requirements. He got that way by leading the accounting and tax development team at one of Canada’s most successful small business accounting firms, and spending a load of time working directly with small business owners on their accounting. 

His mission at Wave: to continue to develop revolutionary tools that make accounting headaches disappear.
