Rounded vs Wave
Wave is a complex traditional accounting system and since 2020
they've focused on the North American market only. Rounded on the
other hand is a powerful but lightweight app
made specifically for sole traders in Australia.

DATA MIGRATION
I’ll help bring your Wave
data over to Rounded
We know moving systems is a pain, what about all the data you
have in Wave? No worries, if you can export your data out as a
CSV file we'll do the heavy lifting for you.
Getting paid should be the easy part. Rounded creates
customised invoices
in seconds. Bill in multiple currencies, add taxes like GST and VAT and accept credit card payments
online.
Rounded will even chase up your clients automatically for overdue payments.
Business expenses are the easiest way to slash your tax bill but
often the hardest to keep organised. Spreadsheets don't work,
piles of receipts suck. Rounded's expense tracking makes it
ridiculously simple and tax time a breeze.
Rounded has saved me so much time! Turning quotes to invoices and receipts is simple, the bank feed helps
me track expenses and
income and the dashboard keeps me on track with planning and managing the business. Instead of spending days
preparing
for tax time I just print a profit and loss report. When I've needed help the Rounded team have responded swiftly
with
expert support. With Rounded, I feel like I have a colourful and brilliant personal assistant.

I have recommended Rounded to a number of people and have actually shown them how it all works; I can’t speak highly enough of this very accessible software particularly for small business owners.
Chris Betcher

The way Rounded works just makes sense to me. The invoices are beautifully designed, the payment tracking makes sense, and the overall design of both the website and the app are delightful to use. Wow, did I just call an accounting tool delightful?

Excellent system. The support is easy to access and they are very good and precise. I have been using Rounded for about 2 or 3 weeks now and this app saves me doing so much manually process. Worth it.

Sarah Holder

I've been using Rounded for just over 12 months now. I was nervous switching over from the free software I was using prior to that, but I needn't have been. I most certainly have seen a return on my investment in terms of time saved with my bookkeeping.
Laura Russo

Fees are comparatively low and save me SO much time that it actually saves me money when compared to the tedious hours I used to spend fiddling around with Excel spreadsheets. I feel super organised and confident with my finances now.
Marie Angel Albanese
Love it, love it, love it. Rounded is the most easiest to use. I've used Xero wasn't happy with it. NOW on top of the world. The staff behind it are amazing, they answered all my questions I had. Thank you ladies and guys. Best ever app
John Kohler
Rounded has made my life so much easier! Invoicing clients is a breeze and my clients now pay me quickly. Tracking expenses as I go makes tax time way less time consuming. And as a newbie to charging GST, BAS is so simple and pain-free.

I had doubts that I’d find a better accounting app in Australia, but Rounded has proved me wrong. All the features I need are there, including Stripe for invoice payments & reporting for tax time. The app is well designed, packed w/ features & easy to use.

Stumbled upon Rounded when searching on Google. First of all, their support and customer service is some of the best I've seen! I'm a bit of noob with all this stuff but they make it super easy and simple to follow 🙂 Thanks guys!

Before Rounded my fortnightly invoicing was a headache and took far too much time. Rounded is exceptionally user friendly and the people very approachable, responsive and keen to assist with any questions that I may have. I highly recommend Rounded.

The best accounting software I've ever used for my business!
Melissa Gerke

I thought I was quite happy using a spreadsheet for my accounting, but for Australian freelancers, it is so much better. It links to my bank account, helps me with tax and also accepts credit card payment. It makes me look more professional.

The Rounded team have created an amazing app for freelancers and anyone just wanting to track their expenses and side projects. Nice UI and UX which can be hard to find these days. Two 👍👍up.

Rounded has streamlined my invoicing, quoting, tax and general accounting – my only regret is that I didn’t hear about this product sooner! Before Rounded I dreaded EOFY, PAYG and every other ATO related acronym that comes with being a sole trader.

I found Xero far too complicated and expensive for more than 5 invoices per week - Rounded has it all - for just a small yearly fee - instant help online chat, simple user interface and they take suggestions seriously and update the program as they go.

Great app and very easy to use. Allows me to do what I need on the road and access and send invoices as well as recording expenses. Amazing support from the Rounded team too.
