How do I cancel Wave Accounting?
2 min Self-serve
Short answer
Cancel a Wave Pro or Receipts plan from the business name menu: open Business settings, Manage Subscriptions, Manage subscription and select Cancel Subscription for the plan. It takes about two minutes. Paid features remain until the billing period ends, and the business keeps its core records on Starter.

Four questions people ask before they cancelCan I get my money back?
The checked cancellation page does not promise an automatic cancellation refund. Contact Wave support about a disputed or recent charge.
