Free scoping review · Fixed-price quote in 24 hours · No commitment
Why switch
When Wave is the right fit
For the smallest businesses, Wave's free core covers the essentials.
Lower cost
Wave's core accounting is free. For a micro-business, that can be reason enough to move.
Just the basics
If you only need invoicing, expenses and simple reports, Wave keeps things light.
Less to manage
Fewer features means less to learn and maintain for an owner doing their own books.

The process
How a conversion runs
Every job follows the same disciplined path — you always know what happens next.
Free scoping review
You send a backup or read-only access. We tell you exactly what will convert, what won't, and how clean your data is — before any money changes hands.
Fixed-price quote in 24 hours
One written price for the whole job. No hourly meter, no surprise change orders. You approve before we start.
Data extraction
We pull your full ledger — chart of accounts, customers, vendors, items, open balances and transaction history — from your current system.
Mapping & chart of accounts
We map every account, tax code and item to the target system's structure so reports keep meaning the same thing they did before.
Conversion & rebuild
We rebuild the file in the destination software, bringing history across rather than just opening balances, so prior-year comparisons still work.
Reconciliation to the cent
We reconcile the trial balance, A/R and A/P in the new system against your old one. The numbers tie out, or we don't hand it over.
Handover & support
You get a reconciled file, a short walkthrough, and 30 days of email support to answer questions as your team settles in.
Engagement
Fixed-price work. No hourly billing.
You approve one written price before we start. The right tier depends on how much history you bring.

Questions, considered
QuickBooks to Wave FAQs
Wave is free — is the conversion worth paying for?
If your QuickBooks file has real history, a clean reconciled move protects your records. We give a fixed price so you can weigh it up.
What won't move to Wave?
Wave lacks inventory, classes and advanced reporting. We tell you exactly what lives only in QuickBooks before you decide.
Will my balances match?
Yes. We reconcile your Wave opening balances against QuickBooks so nothing drifts.
How fast is it?
Wave conversions are typically quick — often a couple of business days.
