Do Kenyan accountants understand UK tax laws?

Yes. The majority of our accountants are ACCA qualified — a UK-based global body whose syllabus includes UK-specific tax law, financial reporting, and audit standards. An ACCA finalist in Nairobi has passed the same examinations as one in London.

Is it safe to send sensitive financial data to Kenya?

Yes. We use bank-grade encryption and operate under ISO 27001-aligned security controls. No personal devices are permitted in secure work areas. All staff sign NDAs enforceable under Kenyan law before accessing client data.

Can Kenyan paralegals work on English law matters?

Yes, within scope. Kenya's legal system is rooted in English Common Law. Kenyan-trained lawyers understand contracts, property law, and commercial litigation principles intuitively. They are fully capable of conveyancing file management, legal research, document review, and drafting support.

What practice management and accounting software do your teams use?

Our accountants are proficient in Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and Excel (advanced). Legal staff are experienced with LEAP, Clio, and SOS Connect.

What is your time zone alignment for financial deadlines?

Kenya operates on GMT+3. Your Nairobi accountant starts their working day before your UK team arrives, allowing them to have reports, reconciliations, or VAT workings ready for your morning review.

Who is legally responsible for the staff — you or us?

Treba. We act as the Employer of Record (EOR) for all Nairobi-based staff. We handle their Kenyan employment contracts, statutory deductions, benefits, and HR compliance under the Employment Act 2007. You pay a single monthly invoice in GBP.

The challenge

Why UK firms cannot hire fast enough.

Accounting firms face a structural recruitment crisis. The ACCA pipeline in the UK is shrinking while audit and compliance workloads are growing. Recruiting a junior accountant in London takes 8–12 weeks and costs £35,000 before office space, NICs, or pension. Law firms face the same problem in conveyancing — high-volume, process-heavy work that qualified solicitors should not be doing but paralegals are too expensive or unavailable. Fee-earners spend 20+ hours a week on admin that generates no revenue.
