Bookkeeping services
We understand you need to do other things to do than bookkeeping. Focus on what really matters.
All corporations have to do bookkeeping because they file tax returns at least once a year. And of course, accounting records are used for other purposes (e.g. detecting any issues in your business).
So who needs (or does not need) the bookkeeping services?
- Needed if you are not sure what bookkeeping is.
- Needed if you are too busy doing other things.
- Recommended (for the first two or three years) if you have just set up your corporation in Japan.
- Not needed if you know (or you are willing to learn) the basics of bookkeeping and you are do-it-yourselfer. (We can check the data if you want, but JPY 11,000 per hour is needed.)
Our bookkeeping services include:
- Recording all financial transactions (purchase, payments, sales, receipts, etc.) properly
- Providing trial balance (also balance sheets and income statements) in a timely manner
