The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), formerly known as the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), has officially accredited Afri Invoice Nigeria Ltd as a system integrator for the country's mandatory e-Invoicing system under the Merchant Buyer Solution (MBS) platform.
This accreditation solidifies Afri Invoice's position as a pioneer in Nigeria's digital tax transformation. It places the company among a select group of organizations authorized to connect businesses directly to the NRS real-time invoicing infrastructure, facilitating seamless, compliant, and secure digital tax reporting across Nigeria.
With this significant achievement, industry observers now rank Afri Invoice among Nigeria's top accounting firms, alongside KPMG, Ernst & Young, and other market leaders.
Founder's Perspective on the Accreditation
Mark Odenore, founder of Afri Invoice, described the accreditation as a defining moment for the company and the country. He emphasized how e-Invoicing embeds tax compliance directly into everyday business activities.
"As transaction data transitions into real-time digital systems, organizations must be able to rely on that data for tax reporting, audits and regulatory reviews," Odenore said. "This accreditation reinforces Afri Invoice Nigeria Ltd's role in helping organizations build trust, comply and report with confidence."
"We combine deep tax and regulatory expertise with technology to ensure e-Invoicing processes are accurate, empowering businesses to comply," he continued. "The e-Invoicing mandate reflects global trends toward greater transparency and real-time oversight. Our mission is to assist businesses in navigating this shift, managing complexity, protecting value and building trust across the tax ecosystem."
Afri Invoice's Pioneering Role
Before the MBS mandate became a national priority, Afri Invoice had already established itself as a frontrunner in digital invoicing innovation. The company has consistently pushed the boundaries of tax technology by developing cutting-edge e-Invoicing solutions tailored to Nigerian regulatory requirements, advocating for real-time compliance as the future of business operations, and supporting organizations in transitioning from manual processes to fully digital workflows.
Strategic Leadership Insights
Fatimata Niang, Strategic Lead and Operations Director of Afri Invoice, highlighted the company's unique advantage in integrating tax intelligence, regulatory insight, and technology execution into a unified solution.
She emphasized the importance of tax expertise in interpreting tax requirements and managing risk, stating that e-Invoicing as compliance is most effective when tax rules, data controls and enterprise systems are designed together.
