Work Anywhere

Free yourself from the office. You can access your Wave Accounting information from any computer with a Web connection, anywhere in the world. Check or revise your financial information from an airport lounge, a foreign hotel, or the cafe on the corner – whenever the time is right for you.

Work With Anyone

Share your bookkeeping with the people who need to see them. Allow your accountant, your investors or other associates who you authorize to securely access your records. Wave Accounting is safer than emailing spreadsheets around, and you never have problems with document versions. By authorizing your trusted associates to access and input financial information, you can also eliminate workflow bottlenecks. Your financial picture will be up-to-the-minute accurate, with less work than ever before.

Work securely

Breathe easy knowing that your data transmission is protected by 128-bit encryption – the same standards used for online banking. In addition, your information is safe on our servers, and routinely backed up. If your computer crashes or your laptop is lost, there’s no problem. Your financial information is safe and ready for you next time you log on. More about Wave Accounting’s security
