Invoices start from accepted proposals and tracked hours, so you don't retype line items.
The same client also books calls, fills out your intake form and signs your contract with you.

Stay with Wave if

You want free invoicing and bookkeeping and are fine paying Wave's card fee on each payment.
You want recurring invoices charged to a client's saved card; SoloWOS emails each one with a pay link instead.
