TripBooks
Bookkeeping and Accounting for Your Business
TripBooks helps businesses organise their financial records, track income and expenses, manage invoices and receipts, monitor outstanding payments and generate useful financial reports in one place.
Built for contractors, retailers, restaurants, transport operators, accommodation providers, consultants, freelancers and other service providers. Owned by Triplona — you can use it whether or not you use Triplona's other services. No listing required.
- Invoices, quotations and receipts you can send or print
- Money in, money out, and who still owes you
- VAT records with the details KRA asks for
- Reports and Excel exports for your accountant
- You never need a Triplona listing to use it
One Triplona account covers both. If you later want to list something on the marketplace, you keep the same login and all your records stay exactly as they are.
Invoices & receipts
Create professional invoices, mark them paid, and send receipts your customers can download.
Bills & expenses
Record supplier bills, multi-line expenses, and supporting documents in one place.
VAT & tax records
Track input and output VAT, import details, and generate Kenya-style VAT3 reports you can export.
Reports & exports
Profit & loss, balance sheet, cash flow, customer statements, and Excel/CSV downloads.
Multi-business ready
Run separate books for each business, invite your team, and switch between them instantly.
Projects & inventory
Tag transactions to projects, track stock movements, and see profit per project.
Choose your level
Thirty days free on any level. Hosts and members already paying a Triplona membership stay on Starter free for their first business. Prices are per business, in Kenya shillings — a year costs the same as ten months.

Why members choose TripBooks
Priced for this market
Levels start at KES 1,000 a month and top out at KES 3,000 — a fraction of the imported desktop packages, billed in your own currency.
Nothing to install
It opens in a browser on a laptop or a phone. No licence file, no yearly upgrade disc, no single machine holding your company file.
Your team, wherever they are
Add your accountant or bookkeeper by name from the member list. They see only what you allow, and you see what they did.
Built around Kenyan records
VAT, withholding, P10 preparation and KES defaults out of the box — no re-mapping a foreign chart of accounts.
Free trial, then free level for hosts
Thirty days free for everyone. If you already pay a Triplona membership, the Starter level stays free for your first business.
