A Nigerian tech startup based in Lagos has launched a digital platform designed to provide small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with flexible access to professional accounting services and investor growth opportunities. The platform, named "AccountPro," aims to bridge the gap between local businesses and financial expertise, offering tools for bookkeeping, tax compliance, and investment planning.
The initiative, developed by a team of local entrepreneurs, is targeted at SMEs that often lack the resources to hire full-time accountants or financial advisors. AccountPro allows users to upload financial data and receive automated reports, tax guidance, and investment recommendations tailored to their business needs. The platform also connects users with verified investors and financial institutions, facilitating access to capital.
This development comes as Lagos continues to grow as a hub for tech innovation in Africa. The city has seen a surge in startups focused on financial technology, driven by increasing smartphone penetration and a growing middle class. AccountPro joins other recent ventures in the region that aim to digitize financial services and support local economic growth. The platform is currently in its early stages of rollout, with plans to expand to other Nigerian cities in the coming months.
