Introducing Clarity Ledger
Bookkeeping clarity, before you need QuickBooks.
A dead-simple cash-in, cash-out ledger for growing Kenyan businesses — with your Turnover Tax calculated automatically and a heads-up before you ever cross the VAT threshold.
What you get
Everything a cash-basis business actually needs
Not a stripped-down accounting package — a purpose-built tool for exactly where your business is today.
Cash in, cash out — nothing else
No debits, credits, or accounting jargon. Log what came in and what went out, and Clarity Ledger keeps a running balance for you automatically.
A dashboard that thinks for you
See your real turnover and net income the moment you log an entry — not at month-end, not when you finally find time to update a spreadsheet.
Turnover Tax, calculated automatically
Kenya's 3% Turnover Tax is worked out from your real cash entries as you go, so you always know what you owe KRA — no surprises in January.
A warning before you cross into VAT territory
The moment your annualised turnover approaches the VAT registration threshold, Clarity Ledger flags it — so you register on your terms, not after a penalty notice.
Your own categories
Start with sensible defaults, add categories that match how your business actually spends and earns.
Never a lost file again
No more "Book1_Final_v4(copy).xlsx" hunting through email threads and USB sticks. Your ledger lives in one place, safely backed up, always available.
Old way vs. Clarity Ledger
Retire the notebook and the fragile spreadsheet
Notebook or Excel
- Balances you calculate (and recalculate) by hand
- No idea what you owe KRA until tax season
- One spilled coffee or corrupted file from disaster
- Nobody else can see it if you're unavailable
Clarity Ledger
- Running balance updates itself, instantly
- Turnover Tax calculated as you go — no January surprises
- Safely backed up, always available
- Your team can see it, wherever they are

Clarity Ledger FAQ
Questions, answered honestly
Is Clarity Ledger the same as QuickBooks Online?
No — it's a simpler, cash-basis tool for businesses that aren't ready for (or don't yet need) full accrual accounting. When your business outgrows it, we help you graduate to QuickBooks Online with your history carried across.
What happens as my business grows?
Clarity Ledger flags it for you — including the VAT-registration advisory — so the move to QuickBooks Online happens on your schedule, well before it becomes a compliance scramble.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Your ledger is encrypted, backed up, and only accessible to your business and the D2D team working on your account. See our full data security practices for the details.
Do I need any accounting background to use it?
No. If you can record "money came in" and "money went out," you can run Clarity Ledger — that's the entire point.
