Switch from Wave
Your firm outgrew basic invoicing. You need time tracking, project profitability, team payouts, expense approvals, and 1099 exports. CherryWorks Pro has everything you're missing.
Every one of these is something Wave can't do — or doesn't offer at all.
Wave has no time tracking at all
CherryWorks Pro has native time tracking with week, month, and day views, a floating timer widget, and full timesheet approval workflows.
No project management or profitability
Track project budgets, labor cost vs. bill rates, and see profitability per project with built-in reports.
No team management features
CherryWorks Pro manages 1099, W-2, and Corp-to-Corp workers in one platform with smart onboarding that adapts to each worker type.
No expense approval workflow
Full expense management with submit → approve → reimburse lifecycle. Receipt uploads, category tracking, and batch expense reports.
No payout tracking
Automatic payout creation when invoices are sent. Track ACH, Zelle, wire — and export 1099 totals at year-end.
Limited reporting capabilities
CherryWorks Pro includes 19 built-in reports: AR aging, team utilization, project profitability, expense analytics, and more.
