Core offering

Actus Tax is the tax-accounting arm of the Actus Group, a comprehensive Japanese consulting firm offering bundled Tax & Accounting, HR & Labor, and IT/System consulting services. The firm provides tax advisory (corporate tax, international tax, transfer pricing, inheritance tax, public accounting), management consulting (M&A advisory, corporate restructuring, business succession, SPC management, turnaround), accounting and payroll BPO on cloud platforms, HR/labor consulting, and implementation consulting for accounting, payroll, and workflow software (奉行シリーズ, freee, Money Forward Cloud, 楽楽精算, invox) plus RPA tools.

Product overview

Actus Tax is the tax accounting arm of the Actus Group, a comprehensive consulting firm operating across three divisions: 税務会計 (Tax Accounting), 人事労務 (HR/Labor), and システム (IT/System). The tax division is anchored by アクタス税理士法人 (Actus Tax Corporation), offering 税務コンサルティング (corporate and individual tax advisory, international tax, transfer pricing, inheritance tax), 経営支援コンサルティング (M&A advisory, corporate restructuring, business succession), and 経理アウトソーシング (cloud-based accounting outsourcing via freee and other platforms). The HR/labor division, アクタス社会保険労務士法人, provides 給与計算・社会保険手続きアウトソーシング (payroll and social insurance BPO) and 労務コンサルティング (HR advisory, labor due diligence, working regulations). The IT division, アクタスITコンサルティング株式会社, delivers 業務改善コンサルティング (business improvement) and システム導入 (system implementation for 奉行シリーズ, freee, Money Forward Cloud, 楽楽精算, invox, and RPA). The three divisions are designed to be combined flexibly — a client may engage tax + HR, tax + IT, or all three together for a one-stop solution.

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• freee K.K. Japan's leading cloud accounting SaaS platform. While a partner of Actus for system introduction and BPO, freee also directly sells software to the same SME client base, creating both partnership and competitive overlap.
• Money Forward, Inc. Major Japanese cloud accounting and HR/payroll SaaS provider. Like freee, Money Forward is both a platform partner for Actus's IT consulting practice and a direct competitor in selling cloud back-office solutions to Japanese SMEs.

Direct peers

• Grant Thornton Taiyo LLC: Mid-tier Japanese accounting and advisory firm with established tax, audit, and consulting practices. Comparable as a Japanese-headquartered, mid-size professional services firm serving mid-market and listed companies — Actus's senior partner Keisuke Yamane previously worked at this firm.
• Yotsuya Partners: Independent Japanese tax and accounting firm. Comparable in scale and focus on mid-market and SME tax/advisory engagements in Japan.
• TKC Corporation: Major Japanese accounting, tax, and ERP software/services firm serving SMEs and mid-market companies. Comparable to Actus in serving Japanese SMEs with integrated tax advisory and cloud/ERP system introduction across accounting and HR domains.
• PKF Japan: Japanese member of the PKF international accounting network. Comparable mid-tier accounting/tax advisory firm serving similar SME and foreign-affiliated client segments in Japan.
• Crowe Japan LLC: Japan member of Crowe Global, a mid-tier international accounting network. Comparable in serving Japanese SMEs, mid-market, and foreign-affiliated clients with tax, audit, and advisory services.
• BDO Japan LLC: Japan member of BDO Global, a mid-tier international accounting network. Comparable as a mid-tier accounting/tax advisory firm serving Japanese SMEs, mid-market, and foreign-affiliated companies — overlapping significantly with Actus's customer segments.

Broad incumbents

• KPMG AZSA LLC: One of Japan's Big Four accounting firms offering tax, audit, and advisory services across all major practice areas. Competes with Actus for mid-market and large-cap tax advisory work, though at significantly larger scale.
• Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC: Japan member firm of Deloitte, providing tax, consulting, and audit services. Comparable in the international tax and transfer pricing practices where Actus also competes; senior Actus personnel (e.g., Tetsunori Chiba) have prior Deloitte lineage.
