Made with ❤️ for Nigerian Businesses
WAZOBIA-Books was born from a simple frustration: why should Nigerian businesses struggle with accounting software designed for other countries?
What Does "WAZOBIA" Mean?
WAZOBIA is a combination of words meaning "Come" in Nigeria's three major languages:
WA
Yoruba for "Come"
ZO
Hausa for "Come"
BIA
Igbo for "Come"
It represents unity and inclusivity — just like our software is built for ALL Nigerian businesses.
To Simplify Accounting for Every Nigerian Business
We believe that every Nigerian business — from the shop owner in Onitsha to the tech startup in Lagos — deserves access to world-class accounting software that understands their unique needs.
- Nigerian tax compliance without the headache
- Affordable pricing for businesses of all sizes
- Local payment integration (Paystack)
- Support from people who understand Nigeria
Why We Built This
"We were tired of watching Nigerian businesses struggle with foreign accounting software that didn't understand VAT at 7.5%, PAYE calculations, or NHF deductions."
"We saw business owners manually calculating taxes, risking FIRS penalties, and paying premium prices for software that wasn't even built for them."
"So we built WAZOBIA-Books — accounting software that speaks Nigerian."
