I’ve always been big on commemorating important events. Birthdays, anniversaries, I’m a fan of them all. Whenever it’s an employee’s birthday at Wave, we celebrate. These milestones are important to me, and worth drawing a little attention to. So it seems only fitting that I take a moment to recognize today’s important milestone, Wave’s first anniversary.

Our focus on building the best possible financial software for entrepreneurs will continue, just with a shared vision from a trusted and equally focused global company.

Earlier in June, we made five commitments to become better allies to the Black community. Read about how we've progressed so far.

A company that makes a different online accounting app announced yesterday that it wouldn't continue its free services. Any customers using the free service would, after a grace period, be required to switch to a paid product.

We're very proud of what we've accomplished at Wave since we launched at the end of 2010. We've had nearly a quarter of a million small businesses sign up, with tens of thousands of new businesses joining every month.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve rebranded Wave! Our new look and feel brings to life our evolution from accounting software to a full-service financial services platform, and our focus on supporting brave entrepreneurs.

Building software that adds up numbers isn't hard. Building a software system that can handle tens of thousands of new customers a month, with hundreds of millions of transactions — that gets tricky.

Looks like the word is out, and it's my pleasure to officially announce that Wave has raised $5 million in series A financing, led by Charles River Ventures (CRV), with the participation of OMERS Ventures.

Yesterday we shared big news: Wave raised a $10 million Series C investment round. You might be wondering what does this mean to you as our customer, and as Wave's most important stakeholder?
