Target: accounting firms in Malaysia, Singapore, etc.). Its global track record, already adopted by 7 of the world&#8217;s top accounting networks and implemented in over 50 countries, more than 250 accounting firms, and over 2,500 end clients, underscores its reliability.<\/p>\n<p>tofu is a service originating in Japan, developed by a team of engineers based in Tokyo. From its inception, it has focused on the global market, leveraging its strengths in multilingual and handwriting-compatible AI recognition technology to launch its services overseas.

Through this partnership, we have developed functions and specifications that fully comply with Japanese accounting standards and tax practices, and have optimized the service for the Japanese market.

It&#8217;s not meant to replace accounting software, but rather to dramatically improve the speed and accuracy of the entire bookkeeping process when used in conjunction with software like freee or Money Forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u30bd\u30fc\u30b9 <a href=\"https:\/\/prtimes.jp\/main\/html\/rd\/p\/000000001.000181227.html\">PR\u30bf\u30a4\u30e0\u30ba<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tofu Co., Ltd. and Seven Sense Tax Accountant Corporation officially announce the conclusion of a strategic partnership in the field of AI-powered automated bookkeeping.
