Six months ago, the finance coordinator at our small education charity handed me a spreadsheet labelled 'final_FINAL_v3' and I knew something had to change. Wave has been a genuine relief. The accounting core is straightforward, and for a nonprofit running on a tight budget, free is hard to argue with. What surprised me most was how well it plays with the other tools my team already uses. The Zapier integration means donation records from our giving platform flow straight into Wave without manual entry, and connecting it to our Google Workspace setup took less than an afternoon. That alone saved us hours every month.
The one gripe I keep running into is that native integrations are still fairly limited. Zapier bridges the gaps, but it feels like a workaround rather than a proper solution, and not every volunteer on our four-person finance team is comfortable configuring zaps. Customer support response times can also be slow when you hit a snag. Still, for the price point and the core functionality, Wave punches well above what I expected.
