Part 2 of the LeafTally ERP Webinar took the conversation beyond introductions and into the real-world workflows, challenges, and expectations that define the future of financial management for Nigerian businesses.
If you’ve been battling spreadsheet chaos, late VAT filings, and scattered systems, this session was designed to show exactly how LeafTally — a purpose-built online accounting software Nigeria can rely on — solves those issues.
Part 2 Video:
1. Key Features of LeafTally ERP
From the moment we logged in to the live demo, it was clear that LeafTally isn’t just another accounting app — it’s a full ERP platform that unites accounting, payroll, inventory, and compliance in one cloud-based dashboard.
Here’s what stood out in Part 2:
-
Unified dashboard — No need to log in to separate systems for inventory, payroll, and accounting. Everything updates in real time.
-
Naira-ready invoicing — Generate branded, compliant invoices with our invoice generator naira in less than 60 seconds.
-
Automated payroll — PAYE, deductions, and allowances are calculated instantly, reducing compliance risks.
-
Low-stock alerts — Prevent missed sales with automated reorder notifications.
-
FIRS-compliant tax engine — VAT, PAYE, and WHT are auto-updated to match current laws.
-

For businesses searching for a QuickBooks alternative Nigeria can set up without complex integrations, LeafTally’s out-of-the-box readiness was a major highlight.
2. The Importance of ERP in Business Operations
Part 2 explored the “why” behind ERP adoption — especially for SMEs operating in challenging markets.
We discussed how ERPs like LeafTally deliver:
-
A single source of truth — no more reconciling three different spreadsheets for sales, expenses, and payroll.
-
Faster decision-making — with real-time data, you can approve expenses, adjust inventory orders, and spot trends instantly.
-
Cloud access from anywhere — whether you’re in the office, at home, or traveling, your cloud accounting software is just a login away.
-
Operational consistency — every department works from the same live data, reducing misunderstandings and duplicated work.
3. Pain Points of Traditional Methods
The session dug deep into why older methods are holding Nigerian SMEs back:
Disconnected spreadsheets
-
Multiple versions floating around cause formula errors and reporting delays.
Manual tax calculations -
A single wrong decimal in VAT or PAYE can trigger ₦25,000+ in penalties.
Cash-flow blind spots -
Without live forecasts, owners can’t plan purchases or expansions confidently.
Expensive foreign tools -
Many require costly add-ons just to support naira, VAT, and local compliance.
LeafTally directly addresses each pain point with automation, real-time syncing, and compliance built-in — no extra plug-ins required.
4. What Business Owners, Process Owners, and Accountants Expect from ERP
Part 2 highlighted that different stakeholders have unique expectations, and LeafTally meets them all.

Speed of setup — import your QuickBooks or Excel data in three clicks.
-
Accuracy — automatic reconciliations reduce errors.
