For many school owners and investors, tax season is no longer just a routine financial check but it’s a stressful, risky time marked by uncertainty and fear of penalties. According to recent industry data, over 43% of schools in Kenya face penalties from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) due to poor financial documentation and non-compliance.

That means nearly 1 in 2 schools are losing money, not because of mismanagement or fraud but simply because their systems aren’t structured to keep up with regulatory demands.

But here's the truth: this is a solvable problem, and it's time the education sector embraced smarter, more sustainable ways of doing things.

The Root of the Problem: Paper Trails, Human Error & Last-Minute Rushes

Most schools still rely on fragmented systems or worse and manual processes to manage their receipts and financial reports. Receipts pile up in files or are tracked in Excel sheets with little audit trail. Finance teams are often overwhelmed, especially during peak reporting seasons. The result?

- Delayed or missing eTims uploads

- Inaccurate or incomplete financial reports

- Surprise tax penalties and strained relationships with KRA

- Anxious board meetings where no one has clear answers

School owners and investors are left wondering: “Are we actually compliant?” And unfortunately, guesswork is not a strategy.
