UK company. Nairobi operations. One team.
Treba connects UK businesses with pre-vetted Kenyan professionals — accountants, paralegals, engineers, and analysts — at 60–80% lower cost than domestic hiring.
About us
Treba is a UK-registered outsourcing company, headquartered in London and operating from Nairobi, Kenya.
Founded to close the cost and availability gap in UK hiring, Treba provides pre-vetted Kenyan professionals across four service domains: AI Data & Knowledge Operations, Financial & Legal Professional Services, Digital Customer Experience (CX), and Specialised Technical & Business Support.
Acting as Employer of Record under English law, Treba handles payroll, tax, workspace, and compliance through an International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) framework.

Average mid-level professional
The problem
The problem nobody budgeted for.
UK businesses face a structural mismatch. Mid-level professional roles — KYC analysts, accountants, QA testers, paralegals — now cost £35,000–£55,000 fully loaded. That figure includes 13.8% employer NI, office costs, recruitment fees, and compliance overhead.
Simultaneously, Kenya produces over 50,000 qualified graduates annually in these exact disciplines — ACCA accountants, LLB paralegals, BSc engineers — many of whom are underemployed by the local market.
Treba exists to close that gap. Not with a marketplace. Not with a freelancer directory. With dedicated, office-based professionals working UK hours, inside your systems, managed by Treba's operations team in Nairobi.

Positioning
What Treba is not.
Not a freelancer marketplace.
Every professional works full-time from Treba's Nairobi office. No remote workers. No gig economy.
Not a call centre.
Treba provides Knowledge Process Outsourcing — accountants, analysts, paralegals, engineers. Roles that require domain expertise, not scripts.
Not a recruitment agency.
No placement fees. No headhunter margins. Treba is the Employer of Record. The professional is employed by Treba, works from Treba's facility, and is managed to your standards.
Not a traditional outsourcing model.
Kenya operates GMT+3. Your team works 9–6 EAT, covering 8–5 GMT. Full UK business hours overlap. No midnight handoffs.
