SomaFin — school finance and fee tracking software for Kenyan schools
SomaFin is a treasury dashboard built for Kenyan secondary schools, giving bursars and principals a clear view of all three statutory school funds in one place.
What SomaFin does
- All three statutory school funds visible in one treasury dashboard
- Fee balances per student, per class and per term
- Receipts and payment records that reconcile with the bank
- Reports formatted for BOM meetings and audit queries
- Works on a phone or a low-spec bursar's office computer
Who it's for
Secondary school bursars, principals and boards of management in Kenya who need a defensible view of school funds before every audit and BOM meeting.

Why Kenyan businesses pick Mackdish
A Nairobi team, fixed quotes written before work starts, builds that stay fast on mobile data, and M-Pesa handled properly.
We're down the road, not overseas
Nairobi-based team you can meet in person. Site visits for schools and shops are included in every system project.
Fixed-scope quotes
You get a written scope and a fixed price before work starts. No surprise invoices halfway through.
Built for Kenyan phones
Every build is tested on mid-range Android over mobile data — not just on a fast office laptop.
M-Pesa is standard, not an add-on
Daraja STK push, paybill reconciliation and till integration are things we've shipped dozens of times.
