n-Wave keeps your books free and simple. We connect the rest so it stays that way.
Wave is free cloud accounting and invoicing software built for freelancers, very small businesses, and solo operators who don't need the overhead of a full paid platform. We connect Wave to the payment processors, receipt tools, and client-facing systems a small business actually runs, so the free bookkeeping tool doesn't turn into a part-time data-entry job.
What we build on top of Wave
Wave's whole pitch is staying free and simple for invoicing and basic bookkeeping, with paid add-ons like payroll and online payments layered in only when a business actually needs them. That simplicity is a feature, not a gap, but it does mean Wave stays light on the kind of native integrations a bigger paid platform ships with.
The most common thing we build: payments collected through a processor Wave doesn't natively reconcile against get matched back to the right invoice automatically, instead of someone checking two systems side by side every week.
The second most common: receipt and expense data from Receipts by Wave or another capture tool flows into the right expense category automatically, instead of someone reviewing a batch of scanned receipts by hand at month end.
For freelancers and small shops that want clients to see invoice and payment status without ever logging into Wave itself, we build a simple branded portal that pulls straight from Wave's data.
A few specific things we build
Payments that reconcile themselves
A payment collected outside Wave's own payment processing gets matched to the right invoice and marked paid automatically, so nobody's cross-checking a bank feed against an invoice list by hand.
Receipts that file themselves
Scanned or forwarded receipts get categorized and attached to the right expense in Wave without someone sitting down with a stack of them at the end of the month.
A client view that isn't Wave's own login
Clients see their invoice history and payment status in a simple branded portal instead of needing a Wave account of their own.

Running your business on Wave and still doing the reconciling by hand?
Tell us what's eating the time, matching payments, filing receipts, chasing a client for payment status, and we'll tell you what's realistic to automate without giving up Wave's simplicity. And if Wave isn't actually where the manual work is, that's fine too. We automate whatever's manual, in Wave or anywhere else in your business.
