Field notes
The page illustrates three document cases: a genuine KRA eTIMS stamp, a handwritten receipt missing a stamp, and a foreign-service invoice addressed to a personal email. Its sample statement check distinguishes matched payments from items still needing receipts, and a displayed month-end package includes CSVs and a PDF. The founder says the project grew from uncertainty about what paperwork a small Kenyan software company should keep.
