Overcoming Challenges and Unlocking Growth Potential for SMEs by addressing their pain points.

In their crucial role in building the spine of many economies globally, SMEs often encounter significant challenges that impede their growth potential. These pain points include difficulties in tracking transactions, managing expenses, complying with tax regulations, and maintaining transparency in financial operations.

At Churpy, our mission has always been to bring automation and digitization into the office of the CFO. We believe in fusing technology and finance to streamline financial operations without requiring extensive technical expertise. Today, we are excited to delve into the SME space with our revolutionary system, Akountable ERP. Designed to enhance accountability and transparency in financial transactions, Akountable is now seamlessly integrating with the Electronic Transaction Information Management System (eTIMS) by KRA tax authority, providing SMEs with a comprehensive solution for accounting, invoicing, spend management, tax automation, and more.

Pain Points Faced by SMEs

1. Transaction Tracking:

Efficiently managing and tracking transactions remains a significant challenge for many SMEs. Inaccurate or delayed tracking can lead to financial discrepancies and hinder strategic decision-making.

SMEs often struggle with recording and categorizing expenses, which impacts financial visibility and planning. Without proper expense management, businesses cannot generate insightful reports necessary for strategic growth.
