Super simple. We were actually able to get everything set-up in 4 hours, not missing a beat, employees were paid on time and reporting cash in - cash out doesn't require a degree from MIT.
I can't even begin to say how SIMPLE it is! I was looking for something that my Daughter and Wife could use to do AR/AP as well as payroll. It took me literally 4 hours to get 237 employees added with their payroll information. Didn't miss a payday :-)
The invoicing was/is clunky. You only have 3 designs to choose from. I haven't found a way to import designs from another invoicing software that I was using. I'd kind of like to just have one......but it's not too important right now.

My overall experience has been spectacular. It was easy for me to add bank accounts and integrate other key extensions. I prefer this over Xero only because it's free and easy to use on both mobile and desktop. It's packed with many things that I still have to explore when I get the chance. I think everyone should give this software a shot before they decide on moving on to a paid platform.
I like that it's completely free and has many easy aspects of adding receipts, reporting, tracking your expenses, bank accounts and more. I compared it with other bookkeeping software and Wave is the best because it's free and does the same things as other platforms but more. I will mainly be using this in my business to keep track of taxes and file it accordingly.
There are no cons for me for this software as I recently started using it. I think the only thing they should do is continuously adding more features and updates.

Nothing, the service was lackluster and offered little positives.
Bad customer support, bad functionality, features we paid for were never given to us; pricing is very deceptive and increased with little notice. Extorted us to keep us with them by refusing to issue our T4's if we cancelled our subscription.

Overall, really liked it, but without customer service, it’s a very dangerous software to use, especially when dealing with employees pay. If anything goes wrong or you need support, you’re hooped.
Fairly easy to set up, user friendly, good interface.
If you need support you will be waiting over 2 days for a reply, after somehow getting through the bot to get to submit a ticket. I was late paying my employee because I could not get help that I needed to resolve my payroll issue in a timely manner. Initial response took 3 days.

On a general note, the wave payroll dashboard always give a quick caption of all payroll related information. The application is one of the best.
Wave payroll is a software used by small/medium scale business owners to pay the wages of their workers or contractors. It has been simplified to a level that it saves time and money while one will still access high quality payroll facilities. I am very comfortable with wave payroll because it connects to other wave application like wave accounting but not to third party. It is easy to understand and easy to manage income and expenses.
It is not completely free. It is not easily accessible I.e wave payroll don't have an app that work on Andriod and IOS devices. It cannot be accessed without adequate internet connections.
