“Our monthly close takes 21 days. Half the finance team is just reconciling spreadsheets.”
We rebuild finance ops on real systems. Close compresses to days.
Strategic IT & Process Design
We build the systems
that build Africa's future.
We help growing organizations fix inefficient operations and build scalable business systems.
From strategy to implementation, we design and deploy custom solutions that align technology with real business outcomes — so you can scale without chaos.
Built for scaling African fintechs, SMEs, and
government parastatals that have outgrown spreadsheets, manual
handoffs, and disconnected tools.
Problems We Solve
If any of these sound like a meeting you've been in this quarter, you're in the right place.
“Engineering keeps rebuilding the same internal tools. We ship slower than we did at half our size.”
We design unified internal platforms. Tool delivery 6× faster.
“Every audit is a fire drill. Compliance lives in spreadsheets and email threads.”
We design audit-ready, event-driven workflows into the system itself.
“We have 4–6 systems and they don't talk to each other. Reporting takes a week.”
We architect single-platform foundations. One source of truth.
Who We Work With
Three kinds of organizations call us — for different reasons, but with the same root problem: operations that haven't kept up with ambition.
Primary Focus
Scaling Mid-sized Businesses
You're a 50–500 person company whose growth has outpaced your systems. Spreadsheets, manual approvals, and disconnected tools have become liabilities — and your finance and ops teams are paying the price.
You call us when
monthly close takes weeks, your CRM and ERP don't talk, or your team is rebuilding the same report from scratch every quarter.
Growth-stage Fintechs
You're past MVP. You've raised, you've licensed, you're scaling — but the operational scaffolding you built in year one can't support what you're shipping in year three.
You call us when
compliance is a fire drill, ops can't keep up with product velocity, or your next CBN audit is on the calendar.
Government Parastatals
You're modernizing legacy systems while serving millions. We architect upgrades that meet NDPC, FOI, and procurement requirements without disrupting service delivery.
You call us when
a 20-year-old core system is blocking digital transformation, or you need to deliver public services through modern channels.
The Baxter & Third Method
Five steps.
One methodology.
We've used this framework on every engagement since 2020. It's how we move clients from broken operations to compounding outcomes — without the eighteen-month consultant tax.
- 01
Diagnose
We map the operational and technical reality — auditing systems, workflows, and bottlenecks before recommending anything.
No solutions before evidence. - 02
Architect
We design the future-state operating model — people, process, and technology aligned to specific business outcomes.
Architecture is strategy. - 03
Build
We implement in tested, releasable increments — no big-bang go-lives, no eighteen-month silences.
Ship to learn. - 04
Embed
We train your teams, document SOPs, and transfer ownership — so the system runs without us.
No consultant dependency by design. - 05
Compound
We measure outcomes and refine quarterly. The engagement doesn't end at go-live — it compounds.
Outcomes over output.
What We Do
Three pillars. One integrated approach. Every engagement starts with what's broken and works backward to the fix.

Why Baxter & Third
We don't stop at strategy.
We build what comes next.
Most consultants hand you a slide deck and disappear. Most agencies build without asking why. We do both — and our engagements end with working systems, not recommendations.
We build what we recommend.
Strategy without implementation is theater. Our engagement doesn't end with a deck — it ends with a system your team is using on Monday.
We bridge business and tech.
Your CFO understands our roadmap. Your engineering team respects our architecture. Most firms speak one language — we speak both fluently.
We custom-fit, not template-fit.
Generic tools force your business to fit them. We design systems that fit your business — sized to your reality, not bent to a vendor's pitch.
