Why connecting your bank once beats uploading statements every month: accuracy, time, and tax season.
Most Nigerian small businesses still do their books by exporting statements and
typing transactions into a spreadsheet. It works, until it doesn't.
Every month you download PDFs, copy figures, categorise by hand, and hope you
didn't miss anything. It is slow, error-prone, and always out of date.
With Open Banking, you link your account once and transactions flow in
automatically. Income and expenses are categorised as they land, payments match
to invoices, and your balances are current, not weeks behind.
Because the data comes straight from your bank, it is accurate and complete.
Claryeo rolls it into FIRS-ready summaries for PIT, CIT and VAT, so filing is a
review step, not a reconstruction project.
Connect once, and bookkeeping stops being a monthly chore.
