Features

What it does

Quotes & invoices

Quotes become invoices. Part payments, deposits, credit notes and recurring invoices.

Bills & expenses

Supplier bills, expenses and vendor credits, with approval above a limit you set.

Bank & M-Pesa

Import statements, catch duplicates and match every line to a payment.

Double-entry ledger

Every document posts balanced entries. Posted records are reversed, never edited.

Financial statements

Income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement, plus trial balance, ledger and ageing. PDF, Excel and CSV.

VAT & tax rules

VAT categories, inclusive or exclusive prices and dated tax rules that are reviewed before use.

Year-end pack for shareholders

Close the year, then download the statements, a Shareholders' Equity List, and for each shareholder a statement of what they invested, earned or lost and the tax due, plus a memo with who to contact.

Payroll

Routine payroll with approval and balanced journals. Payment status is tracked separately.

Stock & assets

Weighted-average stock, fixed assets with depreciation, and project budgets.

Several companies

Switch between companies and give each person the role they need.

Accountant workspace

Tasks, document requests and a read-only auditor role for your accountant.

Security & backups

Two-step sign-in, an audit trail and encrypted backups you can restore.

English, Kiswahili & Somali

Menus and dashboard in all three, and shareholder reports and memos in the language each shareholder reads.

From quote to paid invoice

Turn a quote into an invoice, take part payments and deposits, and issue credit notes when needed. Bills, expenses and supplier credits work the same way on the purchase side, with approval for large amounts.

Bank and M-Pesa that match

Import a bank statement as CSV, check it before anything is saved, and match each line to a payment. Duplicates are caught, and transfers, splits and rules keep month-end short.

Books your accountant can trust

Posted documents can't be edited, only reversed, and every change is logged. Profit and loss, balance sheet, trial balance, general ledger and ageing are always up to date, with CSV, Excel and PDF exports.

A year-end your shareholders can read

When the year is closed, E-Hesabu produces the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement, a Shareholders' Equity List showing what each owner put in, took out and earned, a statement for every shareholder with their investment, profit or loss, dividends and the tax that applies (withholding tax on dividends and their share of company income tax), and a memo with the full results and who to contact with questions or disputes.
