At Faturoti Taiwo & Co., Chartered Accountants, we make the process simple, professional, and tailored to your needs.
If you’re considering booking your first consultation with us, here’s what you can expect.
A Warm Introduction to Our Firm
When you walk into our office in Lagos or connect with us virtually, our goal is to make you feel welcome and supported. We’ll introduce you to our team of qualified accountants, tax consultants, and business advisors, who are dedicated to helping you achieve your financial goals.
Understanding Your Business or Personal Needs
Your first meeting is all about you. We’ll ask questions to understand your:
- Business structure (sole proprietor, partnership, limited liability company)
- Current financial records and challenges
- Tax compliance status with FIRS and LIRS
- Short- and long-term business goals
This helps us provide advice that is not generic, but customized for your situation.
Reviewing Your Financial Records
To give the best advice, we may review:
- Previous financial statements
- Tax filings (if any)
- Payroll records
- Business bank statements
- Invoices and receipts
Don’t worry if your records are incomplete — part of our job is to help you organize and streamline bookkeeping for better clarity.
Identifying Compliance Needs
Many Nigerian businesses struggle with tax and regulatory compliance. During your first meeting, we’ll check if your business is fully compliant with:
- Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) requirements
- Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) for PAYE and PIT
- Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) annual returns
