Sound familiar?
Your accountant gives you numbers but you don’t fully trust them
You’ve had staff theft or you suspect something isn’t right

You’re growing but your financial systems haven’t kept up
You make important decisions without clear visibility of your cash position

What Our Clients Say
Before Ried came in, I honestly didn’t know if my business was profitable or just busy. Benjamin spent three weeks going through everything and the findings changed how I run my company completely. We found ₦4.2 million in inventory discrepancies in the first month alone.
Chukwuemeka Obi
MD · Obi Foods & Distribution, Ikeja
I had been suspecting something was wrong with my accounts for over a year but couldn’t prove it. Benjamin’s investigation was thorough, discreet, and gave me exactly what I needed. The matter was resolved quietly. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Folake Adeyemi
CEO · Adeyemi Logistics, Apapa
My bank had been rejecting my loan application for two years because my financials weren’t in order. Ried cleaned everything up and within three months I had my facility approved. Best investment I made for this business.
