Kept in Qonta

6,500

Records entered by the businesses themselves, every one of them their own.

Why Qonta

Everything QuickBooks does. Built for Rwanda.

Qonta does everything QuickBooks does, with local integrations, direct support, and lower prices. A delivery confirmed on WhatsApp, a fuel receipt photographed at the depot, a Kinyarwanda voice note from the road: each one becomes a record, filed under the name of the person who sent it.

  1. 01

    Local integrations

    RRA certified EBM invoicing. MoMo (MTN and Airtel), PAYE, RSSB, CBHI, maternity, pension, Rwandan banks. Kinyarwanda voice notes, English, French words. QuickBooks does none of these.

    How EBM invoicing works
  2. 02

    Direct support

    Call us or write on WhatsApp, and a person here answers. Onboarding in person at Norrsken House Kigali. No ticket queue, no offshore call centre, no six hour timezone gap.

  3. 03

    Lower prices

    From 9,500 RWF a month. QuickBooks Simple Start is roughly 40,000 and does not include a single Rwandan tax. Payroll is included here.

What it replaces

Your books are scattered. Qonta puts them in one place.

A cash book, MoMo messages, spreadsheets, receipts and WhatsApp threads. Before Qonta, each one is a record that never reached the books, or reached them three weeks late.

Sales for September are not totalled yet. Purchases are in three places.

All of it, managed in Qonta

What is inside

Six parts, one set of books.

Nothing here is a separate product with a separate price. Every part writes to the same books, so a paid invoice, a salary and a VAT figure never disagree.

When you need capital

A lender asks for trust. Your books are the proof.

Every sale, expense and debt you record builds the file a lender reads. Qonta scores how ready it is, names what is missing, and prints the profile a lender asks for.

  • The profile a lender reads
  • What is missing, named
  • Proof kept with the record

Through BNR licensed partners. Qonta does not lend, and does not sell your books.
