What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a recording studio
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a recording studio, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A recording studio tracks studio bookings by hour, equipment maintenance and project files. Studio margins come from hourly rates and premium services like mixing and mastering.
