Rent record digitization in Kenya

Digitize rent records from owner-approved source documents into a reconciled register.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional data-entry project: digitize one landlord's 12-unit, 12-month rent record from 24 ledger pages and 120 supplied receipts. Deliver a transaction table, 144 expected unit-month rows where the owner confirms charges, a reconciliation sheet and an exceptions log. Preserve original documents and distinguish rent, deposits, utilities and reversals. This is transcription/reconciliation support, not a financial audit, debt certification, tax filing or authorization to demand payment. The owner/accountant approves opening balances and the correct treatment of disputed entries.

Who is the first customer?
