Accounting & Tax Consultants in Kenya
Accounting, tax and advisory for growing businesses.
What We Do
Intara Consulting helps businesses stay compliant, understand their numbers and deal with KRA without the constant stress. We work with owner-managed companies, non-profits and individuals who need practical accounting and tax support they can trust.
From filings and bookkeeping to payroll, audits and strategic advice, we give clients one team to handle the work that keeps the business running smoothly and the books in order.
What We Do
Take the whole finance function off your desk, or pick the pieces you cannot cover in-house. Fees below are a starting point — we quote a fixed monthly retainer after the first meeting, so you know what the year costs.
Tax & KRA Filings
On quotationMonthly VAT, PAYE and withholding tax, instalment tax and annual returns — prepared, reviewed and filed on iTax before the deadline.
Bookkeeping
On quotationA clean, current set of books, bank and M-Pesa reconciliations, and a monthly management pack that tells you what the business actually did.
Payroll & Statutory
On quotationPayroll run on time, payslips issued, and PAYE, NSSF, SHIF, Housing Levy and NITA remitted to the right body every month.
Audit & Advisory
On quotationAudit preparation and support, financial statements to IFRS, KRA disputes, budgets and the senior finance thinking a growing business needs.
What Clients Say
We are judged on whether the returns went in on time and whether the books made sense. Here is one client on how that has gone.
“ We had three years of unfiled returns and no proper books. Intra reconstructed everything, negotiated the penalties down and now we get management accounts by the 10th of every month. I stopped worrying about KRA. ”
How Else We Help
The work that does not fit into a monthly retainer — getting you onto eTIMS, registering the company, or standing between you and a KRA assessment.

Insights
The questions we are asked in almost every first meeting. If yours is not here, ask it directly — the first conversation costs nothing.
Do I still file if the business made nothing?
Yes. Once you hold a KRA PIN the obligation to file exists whether or not you traded. A nil return is free and takes minutes; skipping it is not.
Who eTIMS actually applies to
It reaches well past VAT-registered businesses. If you invoice other businesses at all, assume it applies to you and let us confirm your position.
Years of unfiled returns — what now?
It is fixable and more common than you would think. We reconstruct the records, quantify the exposure and apply for a waiver where the facts support one.
Book a Consultation
The first meeting is free and there is no obligation after it. Come with whatever you have — even if that is a shoebox of receipts and an iTax password you are not sure still works.
