Receivables ageing: free Excel workbook
The receivables ageing is a free, multi-sheet Excel workbook for a Kenyan business: who owes you, how overdue, and the next follow-up.
You know customers owe you, but not who, how much, or how overdue, so the oldest debts quietly rot.

How to use it
- 1Download the workbook and open the "Receivables ageing" sheet.
- 2Fill one row per entry. Type only in the gold cells; the white cells and the totals work themselves out.
- 3Where a cell has a dropdown, pick from the list instead of typing.
- 4Watch the totals row and the Dashboard add up your money columns automatically.
- 5When you outgrow the file, bring it into SawaAfrik, where it fills from your real records and the tax figures are computed for you.
Questions
- How are the age buckets worked out?
- From the due date against today: current, 1-30, 31-60, 61-90 and over 90 days. Chase the over-90 column first, that is the money most likely to be lost.
- Is the receivables ageing free?
- Yes. Download the receivables ageing as a ready-to-use Excel workbook, with no sign-in and no payment. It is yours to keep and edit.
- What is inside the receivables ageing workbook?
- Six sheets: a Start Here guide, the Receivables ageing register (Customer, Invoice No, Invoice Date, Due Date, Original Amount KES, Paid KES, and more), a Dashboard that adds everything up, a Lists sheet for the dropdowns, a Settings sheet, and a Next step sheet. It opens in Excel, Google Sheets or WPS, with no macros.
- Does it work in Google Sheets and on my phone?
- Yes. The workbook opens in Excel, Google Sheets or WPS. There are no macros, so it works on a phone or a laptop. Keep your own copy before you share it.
- Does the receivables ageing calculate my totals?
- Yes. The money columns total automatically on the register and on the Dashboard. Statutory figures like PAYE, VAT, NSSF and SHA are deliberately not typed into the sheet. SawaAfrik computes those from the current KRA rates, each with its official source and the date it took effect, so a number is never without where it came from.
- How is this different from the SawaAfrik app?
- A workbook is a file you fill in yourself. Inside a free SawaAfrik workspace the same shape fills from your real records, invoices, payroll and expenses flow in once and appear everywhere, deadlines remind you before they are due, and statutory figures are computed with their source and date. The workbook is the start; the app is when you stop retyping.
