Afri Invoice Nigeria Ltd has achieved a major milestone in Nigeria’s evolving digital tax landscape following its accreditation by the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), formerly known as the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), as a system integrator for the country’s mandatory e-Invoicing framework under the Merchant Buyer Solution (MBS) platform.
The development positions the company among a select group of organisations authorised to connect businesses directly to the NRS real-time invoicing infrastructure, a move expected to strengthen digital tax compliance, transparency and reporting efficiency across Nigeria.
Industry analysts say the accreditation further elevates Afri Invoice’s profile within Nigeria’s financial and regulatory technology ecosystem, placing it alongside globally recognised accounting and consulting firms such as KPMG and Ernst & Young in terms of influence within the compliance and tax advisory space.
Founder of Afri Invoice, Mark Odenore, described the accreditation as a landmark achievement not only for the company but also for Nigeria’s broader digital transformation agenda.
According to him, the adoption of e-Invoicing systems represents a significant shift in how businesses handle tax compliance, audits and regulatory reporting.
“As transaction data transitions into real-time digital systems, organisations 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 organisations build trust, comply and report with confidence.”
He explained that the company’s strength lies in combining tax expertise with advanced technology solutions tailored to Nigeria’s regulatory environment.
“We combine deep tax and regulatory expertise with technology to ensure e-Invoicing processes are accurate, empowering businesses to comply,” he added.
Odenore further noted that Nigeria’s e-Invoicing mandate aligns with global trends pushing for greater accountability, transparency and real-time oversight in financial transactions.
“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,” he stated.
Long before the MBS initiative became a national policy priority, Afri Invoice had already established itself as an active player in digital invoicing innovation. The company has consistently developed technology-driven solutions designed to simplify tax compliance, automate invoicing systems and support businesses transitioning from manual accounting procedures to fully digital operations.
Strategic Lead and Operations Director of Afri Invoice, Fatimata Niang, also highlighted the importance of integrating tax intelligence with enterprise technology systems.
She stressed that successful e-Invoicing implementation requires more than software deployment, noting that compliance becomes more effective when tax regulations, data governance structures and operational systems work together seamlessly.
According to her, Afri Invoice’s integrated approach allows businesses to manage compliance risks more effectively while improving reporting accuracy and operational efficiency.
With the new accreditation, Afri Invoice is expected to support organisations by integrating their invoicing platforms with the NRS Merchant Buyer Solution infrastructure, ensuring seamless and real-time invoice transmission.
The company will also provide compliance support services, strengthen internal data governance frameworks and help businesses adapt to evolving tax regulations while minimising operational risks.
Afri Invoice Nigeria Ltd has built a reputation as one of Nigeria’s leading digital compliance and regulatory technology companies, specialising in e-Invoicing integration, enterprise tax automation and digital tax reporting solutions.
Through its blend of tax expertise and technology-driven innovation, the company aims to help organisations improve compliance standards, strengthen financial transparency and operate with greater confidence in Nigeria’s rapidly digitising business environment.
