For an exporter the tax balance is a receivable rather than a liability — often a large one, managed with less rigour than a debtor a tenth of its size.

Cash accounting records money when it moves; accrual records it when earned or owed. The choice changes what your profit means and whether your books can be trusted.

Profitable businesses run out of money regularly, and almost always with two weeks of warning nobody was looking at. A thirteen-week rolling forecast you can maintain, built from records you already have.

Most Kenyan businesses do not need better accounting software. They need accounting to stop being a separate system that operations reports into weeks later — because that gap is where every number becomes negotiable.

How a grant budget lives through its life — approved lines, commitments, monthly burn-rate reviews, realignment deadlines, and a closeout that matches to the shilling.

Money spent against time elapsed — the fastest health check a grant has. The formula, the four patterns, why donors read it the way they do, and the 30-minute monthly review.

A numbered, nine-class chart of accounts is not a preference in OHADA countries — it is the law. Our ledger has no account numbers at all. Here is why that is the right design, and exactly how the handoff should work.

Operations registers the truck once. Your expert-comptable registers it as four things with four different lives, because under the harmonised plan you do not choose your asset classes and a significant machine is not one depreciable object. The two documents agree on the total and disagree on how many things exist — and nothing tells you, ever.

A hundred thousand XAF is worth exactly a hundred thousand XOF, always, by arrangement. They are still two currencies under two central banks and two sets of exchange rules — how to keep them apart in your books, and how we hold each one distinctly.
