Running a business isn’t about spreadsheets and admin; it’s about bringing your ideas to life. And the less time you spend untangling finances, the more time you have to do what you actually love.

That’s why everything we build starts with one question: How can Wave help you run your business with more ease and confidence?

Over the past year, you’ve shared what slows you down, what gives you stress, and what would help your business run more smoothly. We’ve been listening and turning that feedback into smarter, simpler tools designed to work the way you do.

The results? Fewer headaches, more momentum, and one connected experience that grows with your business.

Here’s what’s new, and how it helps you move forward with confidence.

Get paid sooner and stay in control of cash flow

Estimates and deposits (for Pro Plan users)

Winning new work is exciting — waiting to get paid isn’t.

Now you can:

• Accept deposits directly on estimates, so you lock in projects faster
• Stabilize cash flow by collecting upfront
• Move work forward with confidence, knowing projects are approved and funded

Your customers can review and approve estimates right inside Wave — no emails, no guessing, no delays. And if someone overpays? Apply the extra amount to their next invoice automatically and skip the awkward follow-up.

Less friction, faster starts!

Spend less time switching tools and more time getting work done
