SME Digital Finance Accelerator: Building the Finance Function Your Business Actually Needs

April 15, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary For many small and medium-sized enterprises, growth does not stall because ambition is weak. It stalls because the finance function cannot keep pace with the business. As revenue expands, product lines multiply, headcount rises, and customer expectations intensify, many SMEs continue relying on finance processes built for a much smaller operation. Spreadsheets buckle...

COMPASS™: The Strategic Clarity Framework Every Caribbean Entrepreneur Needs — And How It Works

April 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The Idea Stage: Building Your Business on Solid Financial Ground

March 10, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Why accounting is your first — and most important — business decision Every transformational Caribbean business began as an idea. A conversation over a meal in Kingston.

Automating the Taxpayer Lifecycle: e-Registration, e-Deregistration, and the “Compliance Dividend” for Caribbean Economies

February 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary Tax administrations are increasingly judged not only by how much revenue they collect, but by how frictionless, fair, and data-driven their systems are. One of the most practical—and often overlooked—levers for transformation is automating the taxpayer lifecycle: how people and businesses enter the tax net (registration), how they stay current (changes, filings, payments,...

Machine-Readable Tax Law: Turning Legislation into Code Without Breaking Certainty, Fairness, or Due Process

February 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary Tax systems are being pushed—by digitisation, APIs, and real-time reporting—toward a new operating model: compliance embedded in software. But there is a fundamental constraint: software cannot reliably apply tax rules unless those rules are expressed in a way that is consistent, testable, and unambiguous. This is the promise—and the controversy—of machine-readable tax law:...

Return Prefilling for VAT and Income Tax: Global Adoption, Data Dependencies, and Practical Caribbean Pathways

February 13, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Executive Summary Return prefilling is one of the clearest signals that tax administration is moving from “post-event reporting” to data-driven compliance. Historically, prefilling was most common in personal income tax (PIT) where employers and financial institutions supplied third-party data. What’s changing globally is scope and ambition: prefilling is increasingly being extended—where data ecosystems permit—into VAT...

January 20, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Many owners approach a sale like a disposal: find a buyer, agree a price, sign documents, move on.That mindset is understandable—especially when fatigue sets in—but it’s also the fastest path to leaving money on the table. Because in M&A, the result isn’t determined by whether you sell. It’s determined by how you sell. The difference...
