Top Story: How TaxStreem Is Using AI to Automate Tax Compliance for Nigerians Ahead of 2027 Reforms
In 2026, Kelechi Ibe partnered with Sam Ayo to launch TaxStreem, an AI-powered tax compliance platform designed to automate how businesses calculate, interpret, and file taxes.
Launched in March 2026, TaxStreem applies machine learning to financial transactions in real time, aiming to remove the manual burden that has long defined tax compliance in Nigeria.
“AI understands context and nuances, and it gets better with training. A tax technology, as I had always envisaged, could only have been possible with AI,” Ibe said.
Under Nigeria’s evolving tax framework, businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises will be required to adopt electronic invoicing systems from July 2027. The shift is expected to tighten compliance and improve transparency across the tax system.
“What we did is create a custom domain-driven model that is proprietary to us and leverage frontier models to run some mundane tasks for some of the things that would not require user data to protect data privacy within the financial sector,” co-founder Ayo noted.

NexHRM is Building Africa’s Missing HR Infrastructure with AI and Automation
Across sub-Saharan Africa, inefficient human resource management continues to undermine business growth. For NexHRM, this gap represents more than an operational inconvenience, it is a structural barrier to scale.
From fragmented payroll systems to manual recruitment processes, companies are losing valuable time and productivity to outdated HR structures. The issue is becoming more urgent as Africa’s workforce expands rapidly. NexHRM was created as a direct response to this challenge.
“The challenge for African businesses isn’t a lack of talent; it’s a lack of infrastructure that scales with them. Every ambitious business on this continent deserves access to the same calibre of technology that powers a Fortune 500 company, localised, affordable, and built for where we are actually going, said Moses Durosaro, Founding Partner & CEO, NexHRM.
“I have sat at the table in boardrooms across Africa and seen exactly what separates high-performing organisations from struggling ones: it is almost never just about talent, it is also about the quality of the systems behind the talent. NexHRM was built because I know what good looks like, and I know the majority of African businesses lack access to it,” said Damilola Ogedengbe, Co-Founder & COO, NexHRM.
