What clients say
Freelancers on our Wave accounting service
Feedback from independent freelancers who handed off their Wave bookkeeping to our team.
I picked Wave because it was free, but I never had time to actually reconcile it. Now someone else does that every month and I just read the report.
As a solo copywriter I did not want to pay for a bookkeeping platform on top of a bookkeeper. Working inside Wave kept my costs down while my books got cleaned up.
Quarterly taxes used to be a guessing game. With Wave reconciled every month, I finally know my numbers before my accountant even asks for them.

Bookkeepers who work in Wave daily
Your bookkeeper is familiar with Wave’s specific quirks around invoicing and bank connections, not just general accounting software.
A real bookkeeper, not software alone
You get a dedicated person who reviews your Wave account by hand, not an automated feed that categorizes transactions without context.
Clean books guarantee
If your Wave account has fallen behind or gotten messy, we reconcile it back to accurate before ongoing monthly service even begins.
Fast onboarding
Most freelancers are fully set up and reconciled inside two weeks, with no disruption to how you currently invoice clients in Wave.
Pricing built for solo freelancers
Flat monthly rate sized for lower transaction volume, so you are not paying small business pricing for a one person operation.
Direct communication access
Message your bookkeeper directly with questions about a transaction or invoice, instead of routing through a general support queue.
Wave plus a bookkeeper
Why wave with a virtual bookkeeper beats doing it alone
Wave gives freelancers free invoicing and accounting software. It does not catch a miscategorized expense, reconcile itself, or tell you what to set aside for taxes. That part still takes a person.
| What you need | Wave alone | Wave with our bookkeeper |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly reconciliation | You do it, or it gets skipped | Done for you every month |
| Accurate transaction categorization | Relies on bank connection defaults | Reviewed and corrected by hand |
| Quarterly tax estimates | A rough guess based on gut feel | Based on actual reconciled income |
| Tax season readiness | Often a scramble in March | Books closed and CPA ready year round |
| Time spent per month | 3 to 10 hours | Zero, we handle it |

Common questions about our Wave accounting service
What do Wave accounting services for freelancers include?
Reconciliation, transaction categorization, monthly financial statements, and quarterly tax prep support, all handled inside your existing Wave account.
Do I need to already have Wave set up?
No. We can set up a new Wave account or work inside your existing one, whichever applies to your freelance business.
Can you fix a Wave account that is already behind?
Yes. Cleanup and catch up work is common before ongoing service starts, and we quote it separately based on how far behind the account is.
How much do Wave accounting services cost for a freelancer?
Pricing is based on monthly transaction volume rather than hours worked, and is typically lower than small business rates. Full details are on our pricing page.
Will I still have access to my own Wave account?
Yes. You keep full owner access at all times, we simply work inside the account as an added user with defined permissions.
