Account is where the money from your business stays when you sell, and where it leaves when you spend. Create one for the cash box, one for each Lipa namba and one for the bank. From then on, every sale and every expense changes the correct balance for you.
Create your account Set-up guidesWhat you do, and what Meku does with it.
Account → Add account. Create CASH and type how much cash you have in hand. Create VODA LIPA, TIGO LIPA or whichever Lipa namba you use, with what is in it now. Create a bank account the same way. Save.
Puts each account on the POS and on every expense and purchase, so every shilling that moves shows where it went.
Nothing.
Changes the balances as you work. A customer pays cash, and CASH goes up. You pay a supplier from your Lipa namba, and that balance goes down. It is always correct, with no extra work.
Did you take the cash to the bank? Account → Move money, from CASH to NMB, and the amount.
Updates both balances.
Open CASH and tap Count it. Type what is in the cash box.
Shows what should be there and records the difference. It is a question, not an accusation.
Account → Take money out, for yourself.
Records it as money you took for yourself, not as a business expense, so your profit stays correct.
Count it. The difference is recorded as its own entry, and the balance changes to what is actually there. Nothing else is touched.
No. There is nothing to remember. The day starts with the first sale and closes at midnight, Tanzania time.
No. The type decides how the balance is checked, so it is fixed when you create the account. You can change its name at any time.
Simple to use. Works on the web, iPhone and Android.
