Wave

Free accounting and invoicing for freelancers and very small businesses.

Overview

Wave offers accounting, invoicing, and receipts without a subscription for the core software. Payments you take through Wave are where fees show up. It is a sensible first ledger for a solo operator and a tight fit once you need inventory, multi-entity books, or a bookkeeper who only works in QuickBooks. Do not treat “free” as “no process” — categories still have to be right.
