Great crypto accounting software

Rating: 10 out of 10

Pros

  • Captures crypto activity automatically through API connections
  • Calculates realized gain / loss amounts
  • Balance reports as of a particular date in time for Mark to Market
  • Good onboarding support and troubleshooting issues

Cons

  • Bitwave can seemingly miss picking up some transactions due to glitches, but if you discover them, they can resolve them.
  • Ability to re-sync transactions to ERP if there are changes, without having to delete said transaction in ERP first

Likelihood to Recommend

Needed a platform that integrated with NetSuite and consolidated crypto activity for accounting purposes.

  • Customer Service

Likelihood to Recommend

Great crypto accounting software. Great customer support when there are issues or we have questions. The integration with Quickbooks Online works seamlessly. I would recommend Bitwave. It would be nice to have the ability to set a default price for stablecoins so that it doesn't have to be manually overridden. At times, the platform takes some time to load.

Terrific platform for crypto accounting ; it will be elite once more chains are automatically supported

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Pros

  • Gain / Loss Accounting and Cost Basis Determination
  • Automatic sync with supported chains
  • Taking tons of transaction data and putting into a readable format

Cons

  • Support more chains for automatic retrieval
  • Improve API integration with centralized exchanges
  • Improve integration with Quickbooks as it relates to making adjustments after data push

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are mainly using Bitcoin, ERC-20 tokens, or any supported chains where they have automatic data retrieval the system is great. The biggest issue, which Bitwave is constantly working on, is not supporting automatic transaction retrieval of specific crypto blockchains. They currently have a workaround by allowing manual uploads of unsupported chains (i.e., layer two chains like Arbitrum or Cosmos-based chains). The Bitwave platform still works excellently with unsupported chains; however, it is just a little more time-consuming b/c transactions are inputted using a CSV file that needs to be correct. But I imagine they will continue to add new supported chains, and since I have been a customer, I have seen the number of blockchains they support at least double.

Simple but versatile digital asset bookkeeping

Rating: 10 out of 10

Pros

  • Ability to categorize taxable and non-taxable transactions.
  • Able to handle DeFi transactions.
  • Documentation support to track digital asset balances & locations.
  • Can read token transaction activity better than most wallet explorers.

Cons

  • Automation support for more alt blockchains (can still track manually).
  • Automation support for more DeFi protocols (can still track manually).
  • Bulk classification options (but it does auto-categorize transaction fees-very helpful).

Likelihood to Recommend

Bitwave is designed for companies or high net worth individual with a significant amount of digital asset transactions & activity. It is not meant for the individual trader that has a few investments in crypto. Bitwave is really meant to be used where digital currency assets are fully utilized by the company and used for expenses, revenue, and capital investments. It most closely reminds me of Quickbooks online with its bank & credit card integration. Bitwave will produce a list of transactions, and the user goes through each transaction to link it to the appropriate account on the chart of accounts. Then my recommendation is to create a snapshot of all the company digital wallets and audit the Bitwave balance report against those snapshots to ensure that all token have been properly recorded, just like a bank reconciliation. So my recommendation is to use Bitwave if you use digital assets like a bank account and need to record the activity to a G/L.
