Question 1

What is Keptwise?

Accepted Answer

Keptwise is simple bookkeeping software for small and growing businesses in Kenya. You record money in and out, track customer credit and supplier bills, and close the day by comparing expected cash with what you counted.

Question 2

Is Keptwise free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Starter plan is free for one person. Paid plans add team members, customer and supplier accounts, reports and SMS reminders, and you can try any paid plan free before paying. No card is needed to start.

Question 3

Can I track customer debts and send reminders?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Record what customers owe you and what you owe suppliers, accept part-payments, and see what is overdue. On plans that include SMS, Keptwise can text customers when a debt falls due, billed from your wallet at KES 0.30 per SMS page.

Question 4

Does it read M-Pesa messages?

Accepted Answer

The Keptwise Android app reads incoming M-Pesa and bank payment messages on your phone and queues them for you to review. Nothing is added to your books until a person confirms it.

Question 5

Does Keptwise work offline?
