Your finance department,
without the overhead.
Akkant gives growing African businesses access to a complete finance team — bookkeeping, tax, payroll, compliance, and CFO-level advisory — without the cost of hiring one in-house.

Running a business is hard enough. Your finances shouldn't make it harder.
Most growing businesses in Nigeria hit the same wall. Sales are coming in, the team is expanding, and yet nobody can say with confidence what the business actually made last month. Receipts pile up in a drawer or a WhatsApp chat. Tax deadlines arrive as a surprise instead of a scheduled event.
Payroll is handled manually, with PAYE deductions calculated by guesswork. And when an investor or a bank finally asks for three years of financial statements, there's nothing clean to show them.
This isn't a failure of the business — it's a failure of infrastructure. Most SMEs can't yet justify hiring a full finance team. So the work either doesn't get done, or it gets done badly, late, or by someone unqualified to do it.
Akkant exists to close that gap.
A complete finance function, delivered as a service
Akkant is an outsourced finance department for businesses that have outgrown a notebook and a part-time bookkeeper but aren't yet ready to build a full internal finance team. You get the structure and discipline of a finance department. We absorb the cost, the hiring risk, and the day-to-day management.
Clarity
Know exactly what your business made, spent, owes, and is owed — every single month, not just at year-end.
Compliance
Every statutory filing — VAT, WHT, PAYE, Company Income Tax, CAC Annual Returns — handled on time, every time.
Capital-readiness
Financial statements, projections, and reporting structured the way investors, banks, and auditors expect to see them.
Three steps to a structured finance function
Step 1 of 3
Tell us about your business
Book a free consultation. We'll ask about your business model, current financial processes, and where things are breaking down. No sales pitch — just an honest assessment.
Step 2 of 3
Receive a tailored solution
Based on that conversation, we recommend the specific services and plan that fit your business — not a generic package. Clear, transparent, no hidden fees.
Step 3 of 3
We handle the work
Our team takes over your bookkeeping, compliance, and reporting from day one — you focus on running the business, we handle the numbers.
Everything your finance function needs, in one place
Accounting & Bookkeeping
Clean, accurate, up-to-date books every month — reconciled and ready for tax season or due diligence at any time.
Tax Compliance & Advisory
VAT, WHT, PAYE, and Company Income Tax filed on time, plus proactive planning to reduce your tax burden legally.
Payroll Outsourcing
Accurate payroll processing, payslips, statutory deductions, and pension remittance — handled monthly, without errors.
Business Registration & Compliance
CAC registration, NGO incorporation, trademarks, TIN, SCUML, and every statutory registration your business needs.
Outsourced Finance Department
A full finance team — accountants, finance managers, and CFO-level advisory — without hiring full-time staff.
Virtual CFO & Advisory
Strategic financial planning, budgeting, cash flow forecasting, board reporting, and investment readiness.
We build systems, not just reports
We don't just prepare financial statements — we help businesses build the financial systems they need to scale sustainably. A report tells you what happened. A system tells you what's happening, what's coming, and what to do about it.
Dedicated finance professionals
Every client is assigned experienced professionals who understand their industry — not a rotating cast of junior staff.
End-to-end compliance
From bookkeeping to tax filing and regulatory compliance, we handle every obligation under one roof.
Practical business advice
Recommendations designed to improve profitability, strengthen cash flow, and support long-term growth.
Technology-enabled service
Experienced professionals paired with modern accounting tools for accurate, timely, efficient service.
Systems, not just reports
Every engagement leaves you with stronger financial infrastructure — documented processes, clean records.
Built for African businesses, across every industry
Whatever you build, we make sure the numbers behind it are solid.
