SlickPie (discontinued) vs. Wave Accounting

It is super easy to learn and use. I have used more than 2years for my freelancing activity and it was a good choice at the start. some time server does not respond correctly while printing my documents. so I think there is some room to improve. overall it is a good application and saved a lot of my time.

Wave is free to use, and they have some premium features you can pay for. For someone just starting out as a small business, freelancer or independent contractor, this is a Godsend. You can look professional, have something easy to manage, and yet also have excellent records come the end of the year. You won't spend a bunch of time having to learn the program, it's very intuitive and you get a host of great features that will make getting paid easy.

• Easy to use its dashboard

• Some more invoice templates would be nice.
• Some more charts would be good too.

• One area of improvement for Wave would be combining the various mobile applications into one app.
• Another room for improvement would be on the dashboard level. It would be great if they could use more bar graphs and get away from pie charts for things like expenses.
• Some of the other areas from improvement have been addressed by recent updates so I am excited to see what else Wave brings out.

It has many features for Account management related tools and features. we can upload documents, print as per requirements. it has other features like Billing & invoicing, contact database, cash Management which can help in many ways.

Wave [Accounting] is very simple and easy to use. Minimal training was required for all our users as the interface is very user-friendly, especially for small businesses looking to use something to track their financial data, Invoice and make payments. I loved using Wave [Accounting]. It lookes professional and [has] all the features we were looking for.

WAVE is always available when we need it ! Peter

Wave does tend to slow down when filtering your transactions screen especially by date. This is more of an issue when trying to trouble shoot certain transactions or clean-up a set of books.

It is a time saver for Account related things and it has a Billing & invoicing feature which helps us to generate bills and prints directly or share online. It has a very well designed dashboard where we can do our daily work. and it is free for freelancers and small companies so need to worry about money

I've only had to reach out to support once and they were quick to respond and offered valuable insight to resolve my issue quickly. The team is knowledgeable and if the person you're dealing with doesn't have an answer for you, they get back to you quickly with an answer. It was clear that the support team is genuinely concerned about users making the most of the software.

easy to use and east to train on ! Our WAVE clients enjoy the ease of use

Before shifting to SlickPie I was using QBO, so I guess I'll list it as a competitor. However, since SlickPie offers me 80-90% of QBO's features for free I can't really say QBO is a relevant contender.

Wave's price point was in line with what my company needed to manage basic accounting (payable and receivable accounts). It made it easy for me to issue monthly invoices to clients and track when invoices were paid. The software makes these tasks easy to manage and inputting data for accurate accounting and invoicing is a breeze. It really offers a lot of flexibility, so you can use the software the way you need it.

Once they out grow what is ability to move up to a more robust system?

• It saves me around $500 in accounting software subscription per year.
• It saves me around 4-5 hours a week in manual data entry (thanks to MagicBot).
• It reduced the average time customers take to pay for my invoices.

• Wave has enabled our accounts payable to maintain a 99% closure rate by leveraging auto reminders through the email system.
• Our quote to invoice process is a single click, saving time and effort. Even minor changes during that transition occur simply and easily.
• Aside from payments, Wave has been free for our usage. Our bottom line is better because we're not investing in software but instead embracing an entire ecosystem.
