Start freeAbout ClariFi
- What is ClariFi?
- ClariFi is an MSME financial-intelligence and decision-support platform. It connects sales, expenses, M-Pesa, POS, stock and bank data and turns them into prioritized business decisions.
- Do I need a subscription to start?
- No. The free Financial Decision Check and free tools are available without paying. Optional paid stages—Fix Sprint, Control, and the Lender-Ready Pack—plus Advisor Studio or Embedded Intelligence (price on request) are available when you need deeper support. Paid KES figures remain pending commercial approval where noted.
- Is ClariFi only for Kenya?
- ClariFi is built first for Kenyan MSMEs, including M-Pesa-aware cash realities. Advisors and institutional partners are secondary audiences.
- Is the sample decision card a real customer result?
- Homepage sample cards are conceptual illustrations of how ClariFi surfaces a prioritized action. They are not verified customer outcomes unless explicitly labeled as a verified case study.
Financial management questions
- What does financial management mean?
- Financial management is the operating discipline of tracking money in and out, protecting cash and margin, and deciding the next action. For MSMEs it is a weekly rhythm—not only year-end accounts. See our guide on financial management for MSMEs.
- What are the three types of financial management?
- A common practical framework uses three decision types: investment or capital-budgeting decisions (what to buy or build), financing decisions (how to fund the business), and working-capital decisions (cash, stock, receivables, and payables timing).
- What are the four types of financial management?
- There is no single universal four-part taxonomy. A useful MSME view is: cash management; profitability and cost management; working-capital management; and financing and investment decisions. Use the framing that helps you act weekly.
- What are the best tools for financial management?
- The strongest stack is complementary: an accounting ledger (such as QuickBooks, Xero, or Wave), expense capture, a cash-flow forecast, POS or inventory records, and a decision-support layer. ClariFi is the decision layer beside the ledger—not a replacement for bookkeeping records.
- How much is a financial advisor paid in Kenya?
- There is no single universal fee. Price varies by scope, adviser qualifications, and engagement type. ClariFi product prices are separate from market salary or fee surveys: Fix Sprint is Ksh 12,800 once and Control is Ksh 8,500 per month (pending commercial approval where noted). Advisor Studio is price on request.
