If was any simpler it'd be illegal
Super simple. We were actually able to get everything set-up in 4 hours, not missing a beat, employees were paid on time and reporting cash in - cash out doesn't require a degree from MIT.
PROSI can't even begin to say how SIMPLE it is! I was looking for something that my Daughter and Wife could use to do AR/AP as well as payroll. It took me literally 4 hours to get 237 employees added with their payroll information. Didn't miss a payday :-)
CONSThe invoicing was/is clunky. You only have 3 designs to choose from. I haven't found a way to import designs from another invoicing software that I was using. I'd kind of like to just have one......but it's not too important right now.

Wave is better than Xero & QuickBooks
My overall experience has been spectacular. It was easy for me to add bank accounts and integrate other key extensions. I prefer this over Xero only because it's free and easy to use on both mobile and desktop. It's packed with many things that I still have to explore when I get the chance. I think everyone should give this software a shot before they decide on moving on to a paid platform.
PROSI like that it's completely free and has many easy aspects of adding receipts, reporting, tracking your expenses, bank accounts and more. I compared it with other bookkeeping software and Wave is the best because it's free and does the same things as other platforms but more. I will mainly be using this in my business to keep track of taxes and file it accordingly.
CONSThere are no cons for me for this software as I recently started using it. I think the only thing they should do is continuously adding more features and updates.
Reason for choosing Wave Payroll
Simply because it was free and has everything I need in it to manage and keep track of my small business.

Nice on the eyes, poor on performance
You get what you pay for. Great for when things were super, super simple, but at 11 employees, I'm ready to ditch for something that can really help us when we really need it to just work. Wave doesn't.
PROSUser-facing pages are nice looking, invoices and other docs look professional.
CONSCustomer service is mainly by chatting with a bot. They have no help pages. The bot is generally useless and we have to eventually email for support. They have no phone support at all. Off-boarding a dismissed employee makes it look as if they have not thought through the process. Beneath this all the time is the constant annoyance with how long every operation takes. Their site is noticeable slow compared to many others, and for just about everything.

Payroll Review
On a general note, the wave payroll dashboard always give a quick caption of all payroll related information. The application is one of the best.
PROSWave payroll is a software used by small/medium scale business owners to pay the wages of their workers or contractors. It has been simplified to a level that it saves time and money while one will still access high quality payroll facilities. I am very comfortable with wave payroll because it connects to other wave application like wave accounting but not to third party. It is easy to understand and easy to manage income and expenses.
CONSIt is not completely free. It is not easily accessible I.e wave payroll don't have an app that work on Andriod and IOS devices. It cannot be accessed without adequate internet connections.
