Overview
What is Accounting & Bookkeeping?
Accounting and bookkeeping outsourcing involves delegating routine financial operations — bank reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, VAT returns, and management reporting — to qualified professionals outside your core finance team. Treba provides ACCA-qualified accountants in Nairobi who work inside your Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage instance via secure VPN. Output is audit-ready and IFRS-compliant.

The challenge
Why UK companies struggle with accounting & bookkeeping.
UK accounting salaries have risen 15% since 2022, and qualified bookkeepers are increasingly hard to recruit outside London. Meanwhile, your finance function still needs bank reconciliations done daily, supplier invoices processed on time, and VAT returns filed accurately each quarter. Hiring a full-time accountant in London means £35,000 in salary before you factor in NI, office space, and the 6-week recruitment cycle. For many growing businesses, the maths simply does not work.
