Kenya's most compliant cloud payroll platform — designed to take the pain out of payroll so you can focus on growing your business.
Mshahara Pro is a cloud-based payroll management platform built specifically for Kenyan businesses. It automates the complex, ever-changing statutory deductions required by Kenyan law — including PAYE (income tax), NSSF (National Social Security Fund), SHIF (Social Health Insurance Fund), and the Affordable Housing Levy — so employers never have to worry about compliance mistakes again.
The platform handles full monthly payroll runs from start to finish: calculating gross pay, applying all statutory deductions in line with KRA regulations, generating professional password-protected payslips, and producing the official KRA P9A Tax Deduction Card for every employee at year-end. Payroll records are locked once approved, creating a tamper-proof audit trail that satisfies both internal governance requirements and external regulatory audits.
Mshahara Pro also includes an employee self-service portal, where staff can securely view their own payslips and pay history without needing to contact HR. Administrators benefit from a real-time dashboard showing headcount, monthly payroll costs, and statutory liability totals at a glance.
The system is built with multi-tenancy in mind, meaning each organisation's data is completely isolated and secure. Role-based access control ensures that only authorised personnel can approve or modify payroll records, while a full audit log tracks every action taken within the platform.
Small and medium-sized businesses in Kenya that need a reliable, affordable payroll solution without hiring a full-time payroll accountant.
HR managers and finance officers who need a fast, accurate tool to run payroll, distribute payslips, and stay compliant with KRA deadlines.
Scaling organisations that need multi-user access, maker-checker approval workflows, and a complete audit trail as their workforce grows.
Mshahara Pro is built and maintained by Kagiko & Associates LLC, a professional services firm with offices in the United States and Kenya. The firm specialises in tax consultancy, accounting, and financial advisory for individuals and businesses operating across both markets.
Our team closely tracks changes to Kenyan tax law — including Finance Act amendments and KRA regulatory updates — to ensure the platform stays current and compliant. When the law changes, Mshahara Pro is updated before the effective date, so our clients are always ahead of the curve.
