About Us

Akira Kubota
President

Our company started in 1996. At that time, there were still very few companies that offered accounting outsourcing services. However, the management of small and medium-sized companies needed to stabilize their accounting departments and concentrate their management resources on their core business and further improve their performance and strengthen their competitiveness. To meet this need, we started a new service called "Accounting Outsourcing Business." Since then, we have received high praise from clients who have used our services. Today, as a pioneer in accounting outsourcing, we continue to be used by a wide range of clients, from manufacturing companies to the IT field, from small and medium-sized companies to listed companies, and from domestic companies to foreign companies.
We are committed to further enhancing and improving our service level to deeply trust us as a true business partner and continue to create high "value" for our customers.
