Wave Financial Inc.
(https://waveapps.com) 📸 Data Snapshot: June 20, 2026Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.
An authority gap exists within the Wave Advisors section, where experts like Simran and Dawn are referenced only by first name and a headshot, lacking CPA or ACA license numbers or links to professional profiles. While the Corporation schema is robust and includes a 2009 founding date and Wikitata links, the individual authority of the advisors coaching small businesses remains unverifiable. The technical implementation is clean, though the redundancy in H2 and H3 tags suggests a template-first design approach.
The site makes several bold assertions, such as invoicing being unbeatable and payroll being painless, which are marketing hyperbole. However, these are anchored by specific demonstrations of the workflow, such as generating T4/T4A slips and automated journal entries. The disconnect is narrowed by the inclusion of actual customer headshots and specific business names, which provide a layer of accountability to the performance claims.
Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
