“KES 4,200 unexplained shortage this month.”
That's what one stock take can reveal. Most small businesses lose more to quiet leakage than they would ever pay for proper books. Hesabu finds the leak and shows you — in shillings — what the missing stock would have sold for.
Whatever the business, the question is the same: after every cost, did I make money this month?
Dukas, hardware, agrovets, boutiques and spares dealers: stock that updates with every sale, stock takes that catch shortages, credit customers, and staff logins that never see your costs.
Log every input — seed, fertiliser, feed, vet visits, casual labour — and every sale of produce, milk or eggs. See what each month or season really earned, and which costs are eating the profit.
Record rent and service charges as they come in, and every repair, caretaker wage, rates bill and loan repayment going out. Keep each property's books separate, or together.
Daily takings from the kitchen, the chair, the workshop or the matatu, against ingredients, gas, fuel, parts, rent and wages — so you know which weeks and months actually pay.
A shop, a farm and a few rentals? Give each its own books and switch between them with one tap — one login, one clear picture of each.
Track spending against income by category and see where the money goes. You can't invest what you can't save — and household books are free forever.
Copy each receipt line by line — that's the whole discipline. Hesabu turns it into automatic financial statements: profit & loss, balance sheet, cash position.
Inventory tracked by weighted average cost. Record a sale and stock, cost of goods and margin update themselves.
Spot-check stock takes compare the shelf to the books and put a shilling value on every unexplained shortage — per month, per product.
Sell on credit, record deposits, see exactly who owes what and for how long. Receive payments against any sale.
Cash collected isn't cash banked. Reconcile your collections so purchases can only be funded by money that's really in the bank.
Give a salesperson their own login that records sales but never sees your costs, margins or other data — and every record shows who made it.
Share a PDF receipt on WhatsApp or email the moment you make the sale. No printer needed.
See which items actually make your money and where the money goes — ranked, by month, exportable to Excel.
