Wave is a completely free (not freemium, but free) accounting package that supports itself through offers. When a user is logged into their Wave account, there’s a section called “Business Savings.” This screen features offers for business-related needs like business cards, web hosting, credit card processing services and more. American Express, Dell and Grand & Toy are among several dozen advertising partners to date.

The online app offers double-entry accounting, financial dashboards, invoicing tools, expense tracking and a suite of reports, but it can also be used by those who don’t need or want full accounting reporting. The setup process is easy, too – Wave imports data from your bank accounts, credit cards, etc., so there’s no manual entry involved to get started. It then continues to automatically import transactions from a user’s bank account or electronic statement going forward.

Wave is now used by 75,000 small businesses in 198 countries around the world since its launch less than 11 months ago.
