What Sorimachi does

Sorimachi Co., Ltd. (ソリマチ株式会社) is a Japanese for-profit private software company founded in 1972 and headquartered in Minami-shinagawa, Tokyo. The company develops and sells its own packaged accounting, payroll, sales, and tax-filing software for individuals, small and medium-sized enterprises, agricultural operators and cooperatives, local-government entities, and certified accounting/tax-accountant firms in Japan. Core products include the 会計王 (Kaikei-Oh) financial accounting suite, みんなの青色申告 for individual blue-form tax filing, 給料王 for payroll, 販売王 for sales/inventory, and 農業簿記13 for agricultural bookkeeping, where Sorimachi holds stated No. 1 market share.

The business model blends one-time packaged software license sales with a multi-layered recurring revenue stack: cloud subscriptions (会計事務所クラウド, MA1, みんなの確定申告クラウド), paid support membership (バリューサポート / Value Support) priced at ¥233,000+ annual salary equivalent for support staff, optional data retention (安心データバンク), welfare benefit distribution (BENEFIT STATION ¥1,034–¥1,870 per person per month) via partner Benefit One, transactional banking fees (¥407–440 per transfer on Web-Furi.Com), and dedicated group subsidiaries that provide customer support, accounting/tax/social-insurance professional services, consulting, and offshore engineering. Distribution combines direct e-commerce from the official online shop with a four-tier partner program (SAAG, SOUP, SOSP, SOI) targeting tax-accountant and reseller channels, supplemented by Zoom online consultation, in-store seminars, and a 30-day free trial download flow. The Sorimachi Tech Group operates from Tokyo (headquarters), Niigata (Career Success Corporation support center and Sorimachi Vietnam joint venture), and Hanoi (Sorimachi Vietnam). The company holds ISMS certification and publishes Banking Law-based disclosures regarding its electronic payment agency arrangements.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Xero Limited: Global cloud-native SMB accounting platform with partner-driven accountant channel (Xero App Store). Directly comparable in cloud accounting SaaS model and SMB/accounting-firm positioning, but not present in Japan — relevant as a global strategic peer shaping competitive expectations for Sorimachi's cloud roadmap.
• OBIC Co., Ltd. Japanese enterprise financial/ERP and accounting software incumbent serving mid-market and large companies. Overlaps with Sorimachi in Japanese business financial software but at a higher segment and broader product portfolio, not focused on SMB/agriculture/accounting firms.
• Intuit Inc. Global leader in SMB accounting (QuickBooks) and tax/payroll software with established cloud and AI capability. Comparable in product category (accounting/payroll for SMBs) but operates at vastly greater scale and as a broad global incumbent rather than Japan-focused specialist.

Direct peers

• OBC (オービックビジネスコンサルタント): Subsidiary of Obic group offering SMB-focused accounting, payroll and HR software with an extensive certified partner program (ソリマチ's SAAG/SOUP/SOSP/SOI equivalent). Comparable target market, product scope and channel strategy to Sorimachi.
• Yayoi (弥生株式会社): Japan's leading installed and cloud accounting/payroll software provider for SMBs and sole proprietors. Directly competes with Sorimachi across 会計王/みんなの青色申告 equivalents (弥生会計/やよいの青色申告) on virtually the same SMB/individual target market and distribution channels.
• JDL (株式会社デジタル九州): Japanese vendor of 会計大将 and MTG series for SMB bookkeeping, plus automated bank/journal input services that mirror Sorimachi's MoneyLink and bank-integration play. Competes for the same Japanese SMB bookkeeping and JA/農業簿記-adjacent customer.
• freee K.K. Cloud-native SMB accounting (freee会計) and HR/payroll (freee人事労務) provider in Japan. Direct competitor to Sorimachi's accounting and payroll software for individuals and small businesses, particularly in the free trial / PLG motion Sorimachi also uses.
• TKC Corporation: Japanese accounting-firm-focused software and services company (TKCシステム) providing practice management and tax filing tools. Most directly comparable to Sorimachi's 会計事務所クラウド, MA1, and SAAG professional partner offerings for the same CPA/tax accountant channel.
• PCA Corporation (ピー・シー・エー): Japanese vendor of PCA会計/PCA給与/PCA商魂/PCAhyper for SMBs, including channel programs similar to Sorimachi's partner programs. Direct competitor in the Japanese packaged accounting/payroll/sales software market for SMEs.
• Money Forward, Inc. Cloud-native Japanese fintech offering accounting, payroll, expense and invoicing for SMBs and individuals. Competes head-on with Sorimachi's cloud and 会計王 products on the same SME/individual book of business, with a stronger cloud and consumer brand.
