Updated 7 May 2026 · Featured guide
Check opening balances before the business day starts.

Opening balances give Bizwazi a starting point for the day.

Steps

  1. Count the physical Cash available at opening.
  2. Check the M-PESA balance if you use M-PESA.
  3. Check the Bank balance if needed.
  4. Enter or confirm opening balances in Bizwazi.
  5. Make sure staff know which accounts to choose for sales and expenses.

Why this helps

  • A wrong opening balance can make the whole day look wrong.
  • Correct opening balances make end-of-day cash-up easier.
