About Us

The Wave story

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 Payroll launched in Canada in February 2012. The U.S. version of Wave Payroll is expected in mid-2012.

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

What’s our secret?

  • 1We make tools that are easy to use.
  • 2We make tools that save you lots of time (and we're constantly working on more).
  • 3We offer support for all your questions.

Our mission is helping 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 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 (currently available in Canada) 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.
