Jobkan Accounting

What Jobkan Accounting does

株式会社ジョブカン会計 (Jobcan Kaikei Co., Ltd.), DBA Jobkan Accounting, is a privately held Japanese accounting software provider headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo. Originally founded in 2005 as ビズソフト株式会社 (Bizsoft Co., Ltd.), the company rebranded to its current name in 2024 and has accumulated 160,000+ installations across its product base. The company sells a dual-track portfolio: (1) Windows-only desktop software sold under one-time perpetual licenses (¥3,300–¥30,800 per package, plus annual basic-service renewals of ¥4,180–¥22,000), and (2) browser-based cloud products sold by annual subscription (¥26,400/license/year). Desktop offerings cover blue tax return filing, corporate accounting, cash/deposit ledgers, full bookkeeping, and estimate/invoice creation, while cloud products include blue tax return, cloud accounting, and cloud estimate/invoice. A JIIMA-certified electronic document storage service (ジョブカン電子帳簿保存) is bundled free with desktop products.

The platform is purpose-built around Japanese tax and bookkeeping compliance, including the October 2023 Invoice Preservation Method (インボイス制度), the Electronic Books Storage Law (電子帳簿保存法), and direct integration with the National Tax Agency's e-Tax filing system. Functional depth includes bank and credit card transaction import with automatic journal entry generation, double-entry bookkeeping, shareholder equity variation statements, payroll, cash-flow forecasting, and active multi-user collaboration (up to 3 users) on the cloud accounting product. Interoperability is provided via CSV import from 弥生会計 (Yayoi Accounting), a proprietary .bafx export format between cloud and desktop modules, and export compatibility with NTT Data's tax preparation software suite.

Revenue mechanics combine low-touch self-serve e-commerce (Bizsoft Direct / ビズソフトダイレクト storefront), 30-day free trials across the full product line, and inside-sales phone support for pre-purchase inquiries. The company targets three horizontal segments: individual sole proprietors needing blue/white tax returns, small-to-medium corporations needing corporate accounting, and accounting firms that recommend the software to clients. All sales are domestic Japan, with no disclosed geographic expansion, no institutional funding rounds, no parent company, and no headcount data in the public record.
