Pros
I was handed the accounting part of our startup, which was the most difficult part for me. After months of managing the finances (and failing admirably), we decided to buy software that would help. QuickBooks was our first choice, but it was so expensive and a lot of the features it offered werent needed, which made it more expensive for us. However, after a lot of searching, we finally settled on Wave, which had just the right amount of features at a price we liked. I use it to run reports and manage our expenses with a level of accuracy weve never achieved before.
Cons
It is a bit of a concern that closing a time period on Wave is not entirely possible. Whatever you do, someone with enough access can go back up to a year and change whatever entries they want without notifying anyone. I would absolutely love it if the admin department could limit access or, at the very least, close the period properly so that no changes could be made without notification. User growth is also very, very limited with the software.
