NexBooks is double-entry accounting built from Mauritian statutory reality: VAT-3, e-invoicing, CSG and the rest are the core of the product, not a localisation pack. It is live, mobile-first, and every tier includes unlimited users, so your accountant is always free.
- True double-entry ledger with immutable posted journals and period locks
- VAT invoices, credit notes and VAT-3 preparation built in
- MRA e-invoicing scaffold ready: IRN, QR codes and hash chains
- Payroll with PAYE, CSG, NSF, training levy and PRGF computed
Made for
Books built for this island, not translated for it
Most Mauritian businesses keep their books in software priced in US dollars that has never heard of a VAT-3 or a CSG threshold. Every rupee the currency slips, the subscription costs more, and every quarter the accountant rebuilds the statutory returns by hand. NexBooks starts from the other end: the MRA calendar, the Mauritian chart of accounts and the rupee are the foundations, and everything else is built on top.
Underneath is a proper double-entry engine, the kind auditors trust. Money is stored in integer cents so totals never drift, posted journals are immutable, corrections are reversals rather than silent edits, and period locks keep closed months closed. The chart of accounts arrives seeded for Mauritius IFRS for SMEs, so day one looks like your accountant expects.
And because good books are a team sport, users are unlimited on every tier. Your accountant, your admin, your co-founder: invite them all at no extra cost. You pay per entity, not per person, and the whole thing runs happily on a phone at the counter.

A closer look
How NexBooks feels day to day
Ready before the mandate reaches you
MRA e-invoicing is rolling out by turnover band, and non-compliance costs Rs 10,000 a month, up to Rs 200,000. NexBooks carries the full scaffold already: when your band is called, you switch it on instead of switching software.
- Invoice types TC01 to TC06 plus credit notes
- IRN and QR flow with hash chains and monotonic counters
- Real-time transmission to the MRA EBS when activated
The feed does the boring half
Bank lines arrive on their own and the AI assistant proposes the match: this deposit is that invoice, this debit is the CEB bill. You confirm, allocate part-payments where needed, and the Trial Balance agrees with the bank without a late night.
- Feeds from your bank, matched line by line
- Part-payments allocated across invoices cleanly
- Every match auditable back to its source
Statements and reminders that do the chasing
Overdue invoices become polite, well-timed reminders instead of awkward phone calls. Statements go out on schedule, dunning steps escalate the way you decide, and payments coming in are allocated so the aged debtors report tells the truth.
- Automatic statements and staged reminders
- WhatsApp and email, per customer preference
- Aged AR that reflects this morning, not last month
Books your auditor will actually like
Sensitive changes go through maker-checker approval, every action lands in an append-only audit log, and posted journals cannot be quietly edited. Seven roles keep payroll away from sales, and passkeys keep sticky-note passwords out of your finance system.
- Maker-checker on payments, journals and payroll
- Append-only audit log with before and after values
- Corrections are reversals, never deletions
Local by design
Statutory Mauritius is the product
Xero and QuickBooks price in dollars and have never filed here. NexBooks is built from the MRA outward.
VAT-3 native
VAT returns prepared from live ledger data, box by box, with the workings your accountant can trace.
E-invoicing scaffold
IRN, QR, hash chains and EBS transmission built and waiting. The penalty regime makes readiness cheap insurance.
Payroll statutory
CSG at 1.5 and 3 below Rs 50,000 and 3 and 6 above, NSF to the Rs 29,710 ceiling, levy and PRGF, computed and auditable.
Rupees to the cent
Money is stored as MUR integer cents. Totals never drift by a cent, and nothing is priced in dollars, ever.
IFRS for SMEs chart
The chart of accounts arrives seeded for Mauritius IFRS for SMEs, so your accountant feels at home on day one.
DPA 2017
Contact PII sealed with AES-256-GCM for crypto-shred erasure, DSAR export tooling, and roles enforced server-side.

Consolidates monthly with intercompany eliminations handled by the system. The board pack that took a week of spreadsheets now takes an afternoon.
