What is on the desk?
Most people do not arrive looking for a service line. They arrive with a filing, a letter, a close that will not land, or a standard that has changed. Pick the problem. We will tell you if we are the right file.
-
The close is late.
Ledgers, bank recs and the month-end pack — so tax, audit and the board are not built on a scramble.
Business accounting -
NRS or a state IRS has written.
CIT, VAT, withholding tax, PAYE, transfer pricing and the correspondence when it arrives.
Tax compliance -
The board needs statements that hold.
Statutory accounts, management reports and an audit file a second pair of eyes can follow.
Financial reporting -
A new standard is coming.
IFRS 18 presentation, S1 and S2 disclosures, or ICFR the FRC will actually look at.
IFRS implementation

Why AIS
A practice, not a template.
The firm is twelve years old. The work is older: Olumide Bewaji and Co was founded in 1994. The promise is not originality — it is that the accounts, the tax computations and the audit file will be current, defensible, and on time.
- Federal and state tax, not a generic ‘compliance’ slide
- IFRS 18, IFRS S1 and S2 implementation
- Digital ledgers with analytics sitting on top of them
- A named partner on the engagement, not a rotating inbox
Insights
Nigeria’s tax system changed on 1 January 2026.
NRS replaced FIRS. Company tax is 30% plus a 4% Development Levy for firms that are not small companies. Professional services are out of the 0% CIT rate. A briefing for boards — not a substitute for the file.
Clients
What they say about the work
Titles as given. We do not publish a client list.
“They found the improvement in our financial management that we would have missed. The work was specific, the advice was usable, and we now have a close we can stand behind.”
“From the audit file to the advice afterwards, they were exacting without being theatrical. We tightened the process, cut cost we could not see, and stopped guessing.”
“The engagement was scoped properly and delivered without drama. We have a cleaner foundation for the next few years of reporting, which is what we hired them for.”
“This is how technology should sit under compliance and tax — as insight, not another system to feed. A serious, useful piece of work.”
