Our Success Stories

Client names are withheld where confidentiality applies, but the problems, the work and the outcomes are exactly as delivered.

Oil & Gas Servicing

Confidential — upstream servicing company, Port Harcourt

Challenge: The company received a back-duty assessment covering four years of CIT, VAT and WHT, with penalties and interest that threatened its cash position and its tender eligibility.
Solution: We reconstructed the tax computations, agreed the correct treatment of contract retentions and disallowed items, filed a formal objection with supporting schedules and represented the company through reconciliation meetings.
Result: Assessment reduced substantially, a payment plan agreed on the residual liability and the Tax Clearance Certificate issued in time for the next bid round.

“They turned a business-threatening assessment into a manageable number.”

Manufacturing

Challenge: Monthly VAT and PAYE remittances were consistently late and capital allowances on a new production line had never been claimed.
Solution: We took over the filing calendar, regularised outstanding returns, applied for waiver of avoidable penalties and recomputed capital allowances on qualifying plant and machinery.
Result: Full compliance restored within one quarter and a significant reduction in cash tax payable through properly claimed allowances.

“Our filings are no longer a fire drill, and the numbers finally reflect our investment.”

Technology & Startups

Challenge: Founders needed an investor-ready structure with tax registrations in place, and clarity on PAYE and WHT obligations for a distributed contractor team.
Solution: We advised on the holding and operating structure, completed TIN and VAT registration, documented contractor withholding positions and set a compliance calendar with monthly review.
Result: Investor tax due diligence closed with no findings; the company entered its seed round fully compliant.

“Our data room was clean because the tax position was right from day one.”

NGOs & Non-Profit

Challenge: The organisation needed registered trustees, a TIN and confirmation of its tax-exempt treatment before international donors would release grant funding.
Solution: We registered the entity as Incorporated Trustees, obtained the TIN, documented the exemption position for donor review and put PAYE compliance in place for staff.
Result: Registration granted and two international grants secured in the following funding cycle.

“Donors got the tax comfort they asked for, quickly.”
