Our services

Everything the business owes, handled properly

Four service areas covering the full arc — from choosing a corporate structure and registering it, through books and payroll, to the filings, certificates and audits that follow for as long as the business trades.

Business Advisory

Professional advisory designed to help businesses establish efficient systems, improve decision-making, meet regulatory requirements and strengthen operations. Most of it is cheapest to get right at the start — and expensive to correct later.

CAC business registration & corporate structuring

We register your business with the Corporate Affairs Commission and advise on which structure fits — explaining what each one means for liability, tax treatment and future investment before you commit to it.

Pre & post-incorporation advisory

Support does not end at the certificate. We handle the post-incorporation matters and regulatory requirements that follow as the company grows, changes directors, raises capital or amends its objects.

International transaction tax advisory

Guidance on the tax implications of cross-border transactions — so obligations are identified and managed before a payment is made rather than after an assessment lands.

Trademark & patent advisory

Guidance on protecting your brand, ideas and intellectual property, including what the registration processes involve and what they realistically protect.

Zoho & QuickBooks training

Practical training for teams who need to actually run accounting, financial management and reporting in these systems — not just have them installed.

Power BI training

Turning business data into reports and dashboards management will use. Aimed at the point where spreadsheets stop being enough to see what is happening.

Compliance

Regulatory compliance is a permanent operating cost, not a one-off project. We fulfil the statutory requirements that apply to your business and keep the certificates current — including the four you will be asked for the moment you bid for public work.

ITF registration, computation & certificate

Industrial Training Fund registration, contribution computation, documentation and certificate processing — plus the returns that make you eligible to claim reimbursement on qualifying training.

NSITF registration & certificate processing

Registration under the Employees' Compensation Scheme, monthly contribution handling, and the compliance certificate that procurement processes require.

PENCOM registration & compliance

Pension registration and the preparation and processing of required documentation, including the compliance certificate used in bids and tenders.

SCUML advisory & reporting

Advisory and reporting support for Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering requirements — relevant to designated non-financial businesses and professions.

BPP compliance support

Support for organisations working through Bureau of Public Procurement requirements and the associated compliance processes.

CAC annual returns

Preparation and filing of annual returns for companies and business names, keeping your corporate status active and your records at the Commission accurate.

NCC regulatory filing

Annual operating returns, licence renewals and compliance reporting to the Nigerian Communications Commission for telecoms and ICT-licensed businesses — keeping your operating licence and regulatory standing current.

Other regulatory compliance

Requirements differ by industry, structure and activity. Where your obligations fall outside the standard set, we identify them and handle them on the same basis.

Accounting

Reliable financial information is what every other decision depends on. We maintain proper records, run payroll accurately, and put systems in place that keep producing good numbers after we have set them up.

Payroll management

Payroll processed accurately and on schedule, with the statutory elements — PAYE, pension, NSITF, NHF — computed and administered alongside it.

Bookkeeping

Clear, organised and current records of financial transactions, giving management real visibility into position and performance, and giving your filings a defensible foundation.

Statutory deductions & remittances

Calculation, management and processing of the deductions and remittances your business is responsible for, submitted to the right authority within the applicable window.

Accounting software installation & support

Selection, installation and implementation of accounting software suited to how your business actually operates — with guidance and training so your team can run it themselves.

Tax

Advisory, preparation, filing and audit support across company, employment and transaction taxes. Under the Nigeria Tax Administration Act 2025 regime, documentation and timing carry as much weight as the computation itself.

Company income tax management

Computations, supporting documentation and filing of company income tax obligations, prepared to withstand review rather than simply to meet the deadline.

Withholding tax & VAT

Review, computation and monthly filing of WHT and VAT, including credit positions and the reconciliations that make later audits straightforward.

PAYE computation & annual filing

Pay-As-You-Earn calculated correctly across your payroll and filed annually with the relevant State Internal Revenue Service.

PAYE audit management

Records prepared, computations reviewed, enquiries answered and the audit process managed on your behalf — from first notice through to resolution.

Transfer pricing returns

Preparation and filing of transfer pricing returns and the related compliance requirements for businesses transacting with connected parties.

NRS tax audit support

Professional support during Nigeria Revenue Service audits — documentation, reconciliation, drafting responses and managing correspondence throughout.

State IRS tax audit support

The same support for audits conducted by State Internal Revenue Services, where practice and expectations vary considerably between states.

Tax Clearance Certificate processing

Documentation and processing required to obtain your TCC — routinely requested by banks, regulators, tender boards and counterparties.

Reference

The Nigerian statutory calendar

The recurring obligations most businesses carry. Thresholds, exemptions and financial year-ends change what applies to you — this is a starting point, not an assessment of your position.
