BusinessSensor in Kenya

Run your sales, stock and accounts in Kenyan shilling (KES), set up your taxes for Kenya, and pay for your plan the way businesses in Kenya pay.

Your books in Kenyan shilling

When you create your workspace you choose its base currency — Kenyan shilling (KES), symbol Sh. Every invoice, report and the accounts are kept in it. Customers or suppliers who deal in another currency are added as extra currencies; your base currency stays the same.

How the base currency works

Taxes for Kenya

Set your country to Kenya and BusinessSensor drafts the taxes a business like yours files there — sales tax such as VAT at the local rate, withholding tax and payroll deductions — each with its tax authority and its accounts. You check the list and nothing is created until you import it.

The rates are yours to confirm: they are a draft for you to check, not tax advice.

Draft your taxes with AI

Payroll

Where your plan includes Payroll, AI drafts the payroll tax rules for Kenya — income tax bands, reliefs and contributions — from official sources and shows you where each one came from. Your Administrator checks and approves them before any pay run uses them.

Taking payments from your customers

Card and bank-transfer payments you take in BusinessSensor go through a payment provider. You can connect your own Paystack or Stripe account so the money settles straight into your own bank — check that the provider serves businesses in Kenya before you sign up with them.
