On day one

From sign-up to profit and loss, with no consultant.

This is the promise Counts launches with. Every feature in the first release is there because it gets a business through these five steps on its own.

  1. Step 1

    Sign up without help

    Bring your customers, items and balances with the import centre.

    No implementation fee
  2. Step 2

    Issue an invoice KRA accepts

    A live checklist flags a missing PIN or item code before you press Issue.

    eTIMS on every invoice
  3. Step 3

    Get paid by M-Pesa

    Payments match themselves to invoices. Anything that can't be matched says why.

    Paybill · Till · STK push
  4. Step 4

    Record what's owed on deni

    Keep customer credit by phone number and send reminders by SMS or WhatsApp.

    Credit limits per customer
  5. Step 5

    See your profit and loss

    Every invoice, payment and expense posts to the books as it happens.

    VAT-3 and TOT ready

Built for Kenya

The way Kenyan businesses already run.

Global tools treat M-Pesa, eTIMS and informal credit as edge cases. In Counts they are the starting point.

80%+ of non-cash payments in Kenya are M-Pesa

M-Pesa first

Paybill and Till payments reconcile against your invoices automatically, so your cash position is a figure, not a guess.

VAT · TOT returns generated monthly

eTIMS and tax, built in

VAT-3 returns with an iTax export, Turnover Tax schedules and threshold alerts, and a compliance calendar that reminds you before each deadline.

Deni a first-class ledger

Customer credit you can track

Record what each customer owes, set limits, and send reminders only to customers who have agreed to receive them.

KES 0 free tier and free accountant access

Priced for Kenya

A free eTIMS-compliant tier to start, pricing in shillings, payment by M-Pesa, and free multi-client access for accountants and tax agents.

Who it's for

Made for the businesses that keep Kenya running.

Social and online sellers

Take WhatsApp orders, get paid by M-Pesa and stay compliant on the free tier.

Service businesses

Consultants, technicians and agencies: invoice, get paid, file on time.

Dukas and small shops

A deni ledger, M-Pesa reconciliation and a daily brief. Point of sale comes in a later release.

Accountants and tax agents

Free access to every client's books, in one place.
