What Our Engagement Covers
How We Work with You
Assessment
We assess the extent of the cleanup or reconstruction needed — how many months or years, what records exist, and what is missing.
Document Gathering
We collect all available bank statements, M-Pesa records, invoices, and receipts for the affected periods.
Reconstruction & Reconciliation
We reconstruct transactions from available records and reconcile all accounts for each back period.
Clean Baseline & Handover
We deliver clean, reconciled books with documentation of methodology and establish a clean baseline for ongoing monthly bookkeeping.
Why Professional Assistance Matters
Bookkeeping cleanup and historical reconstruction require professional expertise to reconstruct transactions accurately from incomplete records. Attempting to fix messy books yourself often makes things worse. A professional cleanup ensures your historical records are accurate, defensible for KRA and auditors, and your past tax filings can be corrected — giving you a clean foundation going forward.
Outcomes You Can Anticipate
- Reconstructed and reconciled books for all affected periods
- Accurate historical financial statements ready for audit or KRA
- Documentation of reconstruction methodology and assumptions
- Identification of past tax filing errors for correction
- A clean baseline for ongoing professional bookkeeping
Kenyan Regulatory & Statutory Context
If past tax returns were filed with inaccurate data due to poor bookkeeping, a cleanup allows you to identify errors and file amended returns with KRA. KRA can request historical financial records during audits — without reconstructed records, your business may face penalties or estimated assessments. Kenyan law requires records for at least seven years.

What is the difference between bookkeeping cleanup and historical bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping cleanup typically addresses recent months of disorganized records. Historical bookkeeping involves reconstructing financial data for extended past periods — often years — where no proper bookkeeping was done at all. We handle both as part of this service, scaling the approach to your situation.
How far back can you clean up or reconstruct my books?
We can reconstruct books for prior months or years depending on the availability of bank statements and source documents. Kenyan law requires records for at least seven years, so we focus on that period.
Can you help file amended tax returns after a cleanup?
Yes. If the cleanup reveals that past tax returns were inaccurate, we can prepare and file amended returns with KRA to correct the errors and potentially reduce penalties.
Can you reconstruct records if I only have bank statements?
Yes. Bank and M-Pesa statements contain transaction details that allow us to reconstruct much of your financial activity. We document our methodology and note any limitations where source documents are missing.
