Working Capital Management in Kenya – Bubi Alexander
Keep Your Business Liquid. Keep Your Growth Steady.









Running an SME, NGO, or Multinational in Kenya?
You already know this: profits on paper don’t always mean cash in the bank.
That’s because day-to-day survival depends on working capital – the balance between what you owe, what you’re owed, what’s in stock, and what’s in cash.
When managed well, it keeps your business liquid, stable, and ready for growth.
When neglected, it leads to delayed salaries, supplier disputes, donor mistrust, and stalled projects.

Book with UsWhat is Working Capital Management?
Working capital management in Kenya is the process of making sure your short-term assets and liabilities are in balance so you never run out of liquidity.
That means keeping a close eye on your:
- Accounts Payable – what you owe suppliers
- Accounts Receivable – what customers or donors owe you
- Inventory – How much stock is sitting on your shelves
- Cashflow – How much money moves in and out daily
Smart working capital management in Kenya ensures you can pay bills on time, keep projects moving, and avoid being cash-strapped even when sales or funding look good on paper.

Book with UsThe Four Components of Working Capital – Explained
1. Accounts Payable Management in Kenya
Accounts payable is basically the money you owe your suppliers, service providers, or contractors.
Pay too fast, and you starve your cashflow.
Pay too late, and you risk supplier trust.
How we help you:
- Keep accurate records of all your obligations
- Negotiate fair but flexible supplier terms that protect your liquidity.
- Advise on the best payment cycles to use so you protect cashflow without damaging relationships
2. Accounts Receivable Management in Kenya
Accounts receivable is what your customers, clients, or donors owe you.
The longer invoices stay unpaid, the tighter your cash becomes.
How Bubi Alexander helps you:
- Automate your invoicing and reminders
- Set up fair credit policies for you that reduce defaults
- Improve collections while keeping client and donor trust intact
3. Inventory Management in Kenya
Inventory is the stock that ties up your cash.
Too much, and money is stuck on shelves.
Too little, and you can’t deliver leading to lost opportunities.
How we help You:
- Maintain accurate stock records and reports
- Forecast demand based on data, not guesswork
- Analyze your business cycle and turnover rate to avoid overstocking.
- Recommend optimal buffer stock so you never overstock or run dry
- Advice you on the best Inventory methods to use e.g JIT, LIFO, FIFO etc.
4. Cashflow Management in Kenya
Cashflow is the lifeblood of your business — what’s coming in and what’s going out.
Many profitable businesses still fail because of poor cashflow control.
How we help You:
- Build cashflow forecasts so you see problems before they hit
- Track all inflows (sales, grants, donor funding) and outflows (payroll, suppliers, taxes)
- Provide real-time dashboards that let you make fast, informed financial decisions
- Advise on when to seek equity vs loan financing
