What Makazi does
Billing, payments, compliance and reporting for the Kenyan property market, in one platform.
M-Pesa rent collection
Invoices and STK Push run through your own paybill, and payments are matched to the right invoice automatically.
KRA tax & eTIMS
Withholding tax, rental income levy and VAT are calculated on each payment, with eTIMS receipts issued automatically.
Tenant portal
Tenants check their balance, pay rent and raise maintenance requests from their phone. No app to install.
Landlord portal & payouts
Owners see live statements and track every payout, so you spend less time answering the same questions.
Maintenance tracking
Log, assign and close maintenance requests from first report through to sign-off in one place.
