Accounting & tax
The other half of what I do.
Before the websites, the day job was accounting, and it still is. I am a practising accountant and ACCA candidate in Dar es Salaam, keeping books, preparing statements, and filing taxes for small businesses that would rather not think about any of it.
This is priced and run as its own service, separate from the web design side. Plenty of clients only ever use one.
Dar es Salaam city centre only. The accounting work means handling physical records and turning up in person, so it is not offered remotely. Web design and development have no such limit.
What I handle
Need the numbers handled too? I do that as well.
Alongside building websites, I'm a practising accountant and ACCA candidate in Dar es Salaam. If your business needs its books kept, statements prepared, or taxes filed, that's my day job, so you can keep everything under one trusted point of contact. This side of the work is offered to businesses in Dar es Salaam city centre only.
Bookkeeping & records
Day-to-day entries kept accurate and up to date in Tally, so your books are always ready when you need them.
Financial statements
Clean financial statements and annual reports prepared to statutory standards, ready for banks, partners, or auditors.
Tax & compliance
VAT, PAYE/SDL, and Withholding Tax filed and managed through TRA, WCF, and NSSF, so deadlines never catch you out.
Quarterly updates
A clear read on where your business stands each quarter, in plain language rather than accounting jargon.
Where the two halves meet
Three of my projects are accounting tools.
Built by the same person who keeps the books. Each one is live and open to try.
Accounting questions
What businesses ask before handing over the books.
Straight answers on records, filings, and how the working relationship runs.
Bank statements for the period, sales and purchase invoices, receipts for expenses, payroll details if you have staff, and any prior-year financial statements. If your records are behind or scattered, that is normal, and sorting them out is part of the job.
VAT, PAYE and SDL, and Withholding Tax through TRA, along with WCF and NSSF contributions. Filing calendars are tracked on your behalf so a deadline does not arrive unannounced.
Dar es Salaam city centre only. Unlike the web design side, the accounting work involves collecting and handling physical records and being able to reach you and the relevant offices in person, so it is kept to businesses inside the city centre rather than offered remotely.
No. Web design and development are available anywhere, locally and abroad, but accounting is deliberately not. If you are outside Dar es Salaam city centre I would rather say so up front than take the work on and do it at arm’s length.
Day-to-day bookkeeping is kept in Tally, which is what most Tanzanian businesses and their auditors expect. If you are already on something else, tell me what it is and I will say honestly whether I can work in it.
Separately from the website packages, and quoted on the size and state of your books rather than from a fixed list, because a dormant company and a VAT-registered trading business are not the same job. Send me a short description and you will get a figure.
Get started
Send me the state of your books.
Behind, scattered, or perfectly in order: say which, and how big the business is, and you will get an honest quote rather than a menu price. Accounting clients need to be in Dar es Salaam city centre.
