Who We Are
We believe the best compliance is the kind you never have to think about.
Based in Nairobi, we’ve spent over 7 years supporting 500+ Kenyan businesses — from first-time founders to established firms — quietly managing their filings, paperwork and deadlines so they can focus on running the business.
Here's what we do
Audit. Tax. Advisory. Company secretarial. Monthly compliance.
But that’s not really why clients stay.
They stay because we make the complicated simple. The stressful calm. The invisible… visible.
Where we operate
Nairobi first. Kenya always.
But “local” doesn’t mean small. Our clients include overseas investors, multi-entity groups and businesses preparing for exit. We combine on-the-ground knowledge with the strategic thinking you’d expect from a firm twice our size.
Numbers Speak for Themselves
Compliance handled properly should feel effortless. |
Who We Serve
Startups & First-Time Founders
“Got back 20 hours a month. Stopped paying penalties.”
Running a business with staff, inventory, and daily operations leaves zero time for compliance. Missed deadlines. Late nights reconciling books. Penalties that eat into already thin margins.
A restaurant owner with three locations came to us after years of stress. We took over everything — monthly books, tax filings, payroll. He got back his weekends. His penalty fees disappeared. His accountant stopped being something he dreaded.
What we do for you:
Monthly bookkeeping & reconciliation
VAT, PAYE, income tax filing
Payroll processing
Deadline management (so you don’t have to think about it)
Construction, Contractors & Trades
“They fixed filings I didn’t even know were wrong.”
Project-based businesses face unique challenges: long payment cycles, fluctuating costs, complex invoicing. One mistake cascades.
An electrical contractor came to us for basic bookkeeping. We found KES 120,000 in overpaid taxes from the previous two years — money they’d written off as “cost of doing business.” We also helped restructure their pricing model. They’ve since grown from 20 to 60 employees.
What we do for you:
Project-based accounting
Cash flow management
Tax planning specific to contractors
Multi-entity support if you run multiple companies
Professionals Abroad & Investors
“Living outside Kenya, compliance was a nightmare. Not anymore.”
Distance multiplies stress. You’re not here to chase documents, attend meetings, or wonder if your filings are correct.
One UK-based client owns property and a business in Kenya. Before Jawabu, he spent hours on calls, worried constantly, and still wasn’t sure things were right. Now? One monthly report. Everything handled. Peace of mind, 4,000 miles away.
What we do for you:
Full compliance management
One monthly report, clear and simple
KRA correspondence handled
Asset management support
Complex Cases & Cleanups
“Three companies. Two years unfilled. One call fixed it.”
Sometimes things get messy. Maybe you’ve outgrown your current setup. Maybe you ignored it too long. Maybe you just need someone who won’t flinch.
A group director came to us with three entities, inter-company loans, and unfiled returns going back 2 years. Jawabu’s senior team mapped out a cleanup plan, handled KRA negotiations, and brought everything current. No judgment. Just solutions.
What we do for you:
Multi-entity accounting
Backdated filings & reconciliations
KRA audit support
Due diligence preparation for exits or investment
