Managing expenses effectively is essential for the financial health of any small or medium enterprise (SME) in Kenya. Yet, many SMEs struggle with this aspect due to manual processes, lack of visibility, and limited resources.

According to a report by the Kenyan National Bureau of Statistics, SMEs contribute about 48% to the country's GDP, employing over 70% of the labor force. However, poor expense management can stifle growth and productivity.
