What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Everyone from start-ups and SMEs to established companies, NGOs, schools and public bodies. Our clients span agriculture, finance, transport, education, retail, construction and the non-profit sector.

Can you handle my URA tax filings every month?

Yes. We prepare and file VAT, PAYE, withholding tax and income tax returns, track your deadlines and keep you compliant. We can also handle NSSF and local authority returns as part of our outsourced services.

We're a small business. Is outsourcing our accounting worth it?

For most small businesses, yes. Outsourcing gives you a qualified team for less than the cost of a full-time accountant, plus accurate records, on-time filings and monthly reports you can make decisions with. We tailor the package to your size.

Which accounting software do you support?

We set up, customise and train teams on QuickBooks, Zoho Books, Agibooks, Odoo, Tally Prime, Sage Business Cloud and Xero, and we can migrate your data from spreadsheets or an older system.

Can you help with donor and funder reporting?

Yes. We prepare financial reports in the format your funders require and strengthen the internal controls behind them, which helps organisations keep existing funding and win new grants.
