Question 1

Can I record MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money separately?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each is its own tender at checkout, so reports show MTN, Airtel, cash and card as separate totals and you reconcile each against its own statement.

Question 2

What does purchase-first mode do?

Accepted Answer

It adds a Buy screen that works exactly like the till but for stock coming in: tap the product, set the quantity and today's unit cost, record. Stock and weighted-average cost update automatically — built for wholesalers and hardware traders.

Question 3

Is NodePoint URA EFRIS compatible?

Accepted Answer

VAT is split out on every sale and invoice and reported in one place, so the figures URA filing needs already exist. Direct EFRIS submission is on our roadmap; there is nothing to re-key when it arrives.

Question 4

Are prices in Uganda shillings?

Accepted Answer

Everything inside the app — prices, receipts, invoices, reports — runs in UGX. The subscription itself is billed in US dollars, with a seven-day free trial first.

Question 5

Is NodePoint URA EFRIS compliant?

Accepted Answer

VAT is split out on every sale and invoice from day one, so the figures URA filing needs already exist in your reports. Direct EFRIS (Electronic Fiscal Receipting and Invoicing Solution) submission is on our roadmap; today the records are ready, and switching fiscalised receipts on will be a setting, not a data migration.

Question 6

Does it work with MTN Mobile Money in Uganda?

Accepted Answer

MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money payments are recorded alongside cash and card as their own tender, so the day's mobile money total is one number you can reconcile against your statement.

Question 7

What does Accounts & Books cost in Uganda?

Accepted Answer

Subscriptions outside Kenya are billed in US dollars, while everything inside the app — prices, receipts, reports — runs in Uganda shillings. Every account starts with a seven-day free trial with the full product — no payment required. See the licence card above for the monthly and annual price.

Question 8

Can I use it in Kampala, Entebbe, Jinja and outside the city?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it is web-based and works on any phone, tablet or computer, and sales keep recording on the device when the network drops, then sync when it returns. Upcountry connectivity is the case it was designed for.

Question 9

How much does accounting software cost in Kenya?

Accepted Answer

NodePoint Accounts is KSh 1,500 a month or KSh 15,000 a year in Kenya, with unlimited users and unlimited documents. Outside Kenya it is $15 a month. Every account starts with a seven-day free trial, no payment required.

Question 10

Is it proper double-entry accounting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every quote, invoice, bill and payment posts journal entries to a chart of accounts, so trial balance, profit and loss and balance sheet always agree — the standard your auditor, your bank and your board expect.

Question 11

Does it do VAT returns for KRA?

Accepted Answer

VAT is split out on every invoice and bill and reported in a tax summary for filing, and invoices file with KRA eTIMS through DigiTax, a KRA-approved eTIMS integrator: push an invoice to KRA before you send it, and the signed copy carries KRA's receipt number and QR code. Credit notes reverse a filed invoice.

Question 12

Can it run payroll?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kenyan payroll with PAYE, NSSF and SHIF is built in, with payslips per run. Statutory calculations for other countries are on the roadmap; custom deductions work everywhere.

Question 13

Can my accountant use it with me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Unlimited users with roles, so an accountant or finance team can work in the books while the business keeps invoicing. Every change carries a name in the audit log.

Question 14

Does it connect to my POS?

Accepted Answer

Natively. Retail, restaurant and hotel sales from NodePoint post straight into the ledger with their tenders — no import, no re-keying, no reconciliation project at month end.
