One platform, five capabilities

WhatsApp is the interface. SME GROW is the system of record.

Use the dashboard, the mobile app or WhatsApp without ever creating separate records or disconnected databases. Every channel reads and writes the same secure business ledger.

The signature feature

Run your business by talking to it.

Type or send a voice note as you would to a trusted employee. SME GROW understands the request, calls an approved business function, and asks before it changes any financial record.

Record today's sales as KSh 15,000
  • Sales entry prepared: KSh 15,000, today, payment method not specified.

Should I proceed?

Illustrative demo. The assistant never has unrestricted database access; it calls approved functions with validated parameters, and all figures are calculated by the accounting engine.

English, Kiswahili and everything in between.

Built for common Kenyan business expressions and mixed-language communication. Ambiguous financial commands are never executed silently.

    Assets, liabilities and owner's equity at a particular date.

  3. 03

    Cash Flow Statement

    Operating, investing and financing inflows and outflows.

  • "Prepare a profit and loss statement for the third quarter."

  • "Generate a balance sheet as at 31 October."
  • "Export my cash flow statement to PDF."

PDFs carry your business name, logo, period, currency and generation date, with version numbers and an audit trail.

Statement integrity safeguards

  • Opening balances

    Enter opening balances when you join, so statements start from the truth.

  • Accounting methods

    Cash and accrual reporting, always clearly labelled.

  • Reconciliation

    Spot differences between sales, payments, bank balances and records.

  • Review status

    Management reports are distinguished from accountant-reviewed statements.

A generated statement is never represented as audited or tax-certified simply because it was exported to PDF.

WhatsApp integration and sharing

Your financial statement, delivered in the chat.

Send and receive business information over WhatsApp while your records stay safely in SME GROW.

Illustrative WhatsApp conversation

"Send my October financial report to my accountant."

  1. 1Identify the accountant from authorised CRM contacts, or ask for their number.
  2. 2Confirm which report will be shared.
  3. 3Display the recipient and reporting period.
  4. 4Request explicit confirmation.
  5. 5Generate the report.
  6. 6Send it through WhatsApp.
  7. 7Record the sharing activity in the audit log.

Security rule: nobody gains access to business finances just by messaging its WhatsApp number. Verified phone numbers are linked to authenticated accounts, permissions are checked, and sensitive operations need extra confirmation.

Teams and security

Invite your team. Keep control.

Multiple users per business, each with the right permissions. Ideal for growing teams and external accountants.

  • Mobile number and OTP
  • Email and password
  • Optional Google sign-in
  • Secure password reset
  • Two-factor auth for administrators
  • Tenant-isolated business data

WhatsApp is a linked communication channel, never a substitute for account authentication.
