Начало работы с Wave
Do this one-time setup before touching any feature.
Это займет около трех минут.
The setup takes a bit of patience, then Wave keeps running on its own.
Here is what the first few weeks looked like for me:
Теперь давайте рассмотрим каждый шаг.
Шаг 1: Создайте свою учетную запись
Go to Wave’s website and click Sign Up.
Use a business email, then set up your company profile with a logo and brand colors.

Step 3: Link Your Bank
Connect your business bank and credit card accounts under Banking.
Wave imports bank transactions automatically, which saves real time on bookkeeping.

Как использовать функцию сверки счетов Wave
Сверка счетов lets you match imported bank transactions against your books so every balance checks out.
Вот пошаговая инструкция по его использованию.
Шаг 1: Подключите свой банк

Вот как это выглядит:

✓ Контрольная точка: Your statement balance and Wave balance should sit side by side.
Step 3: Match and Close the Month
Confirm each match, then adjust the ending balance until the difference reads zero.
✅ Результат: One reconciled month with no unexplained gap between bank and books.

Советы и сочетания клавиш для Wave Pro
After three years in Wave, these are the tips I actually use.
Клавиатурные сочетания
| Действие | Быстрый доступ |
|---|---|
| Save the open invoice | Ctrl / Cmd + S |
| Add a new invoice line | Tab from the last field |
| Поиск транзакций | Ctrl / Cmd + F |
| Print or save a report as PDF | Ctrl / Cmd + P |
Скрытые функции, которые большинство людей упускают из виду.
- Partial refunds: Send either a full or partial refund on any customer payment, straight from the payment record.
- Google Sheets add-on: Import and export customers, products, and invoices in bulk instead of one at a time.
- Estimates that convert: Create a project estimate, then turn it into an invoice once the client approves it.
- Collaborator access: Share view-only or edit access with your accountant without handing over your password.
These small features are where Wave quietly beats pricier accounting solutions.

Распространенные ошибки, которых следует избегать.
Mistake #1: Mixing personal and business money
❌ Неправильно: Running groceries and client payments through one bank account.
✅ Справа: Keep personal and business finances separate from day one for clean project tracking.
Mistake #2: Typing in transactions the bank already sent
❌ Неправильно: Manually entering expenses that also arrive through your bank feed.
✅ Справа: Pick one source. Duplicate entries are the most common Wave error I see.
Mistake #3: Invoicing without online payments turned on
❌ Неправильно: Emailing a PDF and waiting weeks for checks to clear.
✅ Справа: Enable card, bank transfer, and Apple Pay so clients can pay in one click.
Устранение неполадок с волнами
Problem: Bank feed stopped importing transactions
Причина: Your bank changed its login rules or the connection expired.
Исправить: Go to Banking, reconnect the account, then import the missing period manually.
Problem: Reconciliation will not balance
Причина: A duplicate transaction or a payment recorded on the wrong date.
Исправить: Sort by amount, delete the duplicate, and check dates near the month boundary.
Problem: A client says the invoice link does not work
Причина: The email landed in spam, or the invoice is still a draft.
Исправить: Confirm the invoice status is sent, then share the payment link directly.
📌 Примечание: If none of these fix your issues, contact Wave support.
