Wave exists to democratize financial management for the millions of small business owners who have been overlooked by traditional financial software. Since 2010, Wave has helped more than 5.9 million small business owners across the US and Canada manage their money with confidence through integrated accounting, invoicing, payments, and payroll tools. The company was founded on the belief that entrepreneurs deserve the same powerful financial tools as big corporations - without the complexity or cost barriers that have historically excluded them.
Acquired by H&R Block in 2022, Wave continues its mission to help small businesses "find their thrive" by providing simple, integrated financial solutions that replace the patchwork of disconnected tools many entrepreneurs struggle with today. The company's purpose-driven approach focuses on serving the underserved - the freelancers, consultants, contractors, and micro-business owners who form the economic backbone of communities but lack access to enterprise-grade financial management. Wave's platform enables these entrepreneurs to get paid faster, understand their cash flow, and make tax season less stressful, all while maintaining the freedom and flexibility they value.
