Running a small or medium enterprise (SME) in Kenya comes with numerous challenges, but managing finances doesn't have to be one of them. With the right invoicing solution, you can streamline your billing process, reduce errors, and boost productivity. Here are some top options worth considering:

3. Wave

4. Zoho Invoice

Zoho Invoice is another affordable solution that caters to small businesses. It offers invoice creation, time tracking, expense management, and even project management features.

Recommendations

• Consider your business needs when choosing an invoicing solution. Free solutions may suffice for small businesses, but more robust options like Lipabiz might be better for medium enterprises or those requiring advanced features.
• Research the integration capabilities of each platform to ensure it syncs well with your existing tools (e.g., bank accounts, accounting software).
• Look for solutions that offer customer support in case you encounter any issues.
