About us

A Nairobi firm that explains the numbers

Kfred & Associates is a firm of Certified Public Accountants. We file what the law requires, and then we tell you what your accounts are saying about your business.

Who we are

More than a once-a-year visit at filing time

Our clients are entrepreneurs, SMEs, corporates and NGOs across Nairobi. What they have in common is that they want an accountant they can call in March, not only in June.

Filing returns on time is the minimum. The useful part of the job is reading the accounts with you: which product line is losing money, which customer pays late every quarter, whether you can afford the next hire, and how much tax to set aside before it is due.

We work across audit, tax, accounting, advisory, company secretarial and business automation, so one team sees the full picture. Your auditor's findings reach your bookkeeper, and your tax adviser knows what your board decided last month.

What we stand for

The three words on our crest

Integrity

We sign only what we can stand behind. If something in your books is wrong, you hear it from us first, and early.

Insight

We read your accounts the way an owner would. You get the two or three points that matter, not forty pages of notes.

Impact

Advice only counts if it changes a decision. We check back to see what happened after we gave it.

Working with us

What you can expect

A named contact

One person who knows your file and answers your calls. You will not be passed around.

Scope and fees in writing

An engagement letter that says what we do, by when, and what it costs, signed before work starts.

Deadlines we own

We track your filing dates and ask for documents early enough to meet them.

Confidentiality

Your financial information stays between you and the team working on your file.

Close enough to visit your office

We are in Nairobi and work with clients across the city and around Kenya. We meet in person when it helps, at your premises or ours, and use email and video calls for the routine work in between.
