As Malaysia’s e-invoicing mandate rolls out in phases, many SMEs find themselves confused, concerned, and caught between compliance and opportunity. But e-invoicing isn’t just about ticking regulatory boxes, it’s about streamlining operations, enabling faster payments, and unlocking real-time data for smarter decisions.

In this episode, Koren Wines, Managing Director of Xero Asia, explains how businesses can shift from fear to action, why outsourcing to advisors matters, and what support systems are still missing. Drawing on global experience, she shares how e-invoicing can empower SMEs to cut admin costs, improve cash flow, and grow with confidence in an increasingly digital world.

We also discuss:

• What e-invoicing actually means (beyond PDFs)

• Common misconceptions and mental hurdles slowing adoption

• How data security fears can be addressed with cloud solutions

• What smaller vs larger SMEs need to scale digital adoption

• The long-term upside: faster payments, better insights, less stress
