Managing Partner - MENAP shares insight on the operational shift facing businesses ahead of the UAE's phased e-invoicing mandate
Dubai, UAE - SpendConsole, an Enterprise Payables Orchestration platform operating across Australia, the UAE and other markets, today announced that Haseef Ahmed, its Managing Partner for the Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan (MENAP) region, has been featured in the September 2026 issue of Finance World Magazine. The feature examines the operational readiness businesses need as the UAE moves toward mandatory e-invoicing.
As regulators across the region tighten requirements around digital tax compliance, the feature highlights how organizations often underestimate what e-invoicing readiness actually demands: not just new software, but coordinated change across process, policy, people, data and systems. Haseef Ahmed's perspective draws on experience leading procurement and finance transformation programs across APAC and the Middle East.
"Getting e-invoicing right isn't a software purchase - it's an operational shift," said Haseef Ahmed, Managing Partner - MENAP at SpendConsole. "The organizations that struggle are the ones that treat it as a compliance checkbox instead of aligning their processes, their people and their data before the deadline arrives."
Haseef Ahmed, a Chartered Accountant, brings this perspective from direct experience: in 2021 he worked on one of the earliest e-invoicing implementations in the Australian public sector, an engagement that shaped his focus on the operational side of compliance rollouts rather than the technology alone. He has since led similar programs across different regulatory environments, specializing in accounts payable automation, procurement transformation, e-invoicing, compliance and finance operations.
SpendConsole is listed by the UAE Ministry of Finance as an e-invoicing Accredited Service Provider, with Haseef Ahmed named as the company's point of contact.
