Money Forward and B-EN-G Collaborate for Innovative Global Accounting

In a notable advancement for international accounting and enterprise resource planning (ERP), Money Forward, Inc., based in Tokyo, has announced a partnership with Business Engineering Corporation (B-EN-G), also from Tokyo. This collaboration will kick off around the end of April 2026, with an API integration between Money Forward's Cloud Consolidated Accounting and B-EN-G's cloud-based international accounting and ERP service, GLASIAOUS.

Objectives of the Integration

This integration allows for the seamless transfer of accounting data from overseas subsidiaries—managed through GLASIAOUS—into Money Forward's Cloud Consolidated Accounting system. By merging global financial data with headquarters' consolidated financial statements, this initiative aims to enhance financial visibility across the corporate group. Key benefits include the streamlining of monthly closing processes and facilitating expedited decision-making for global operations.

The Rationale Behind the Integration

Japanese enterprises operating on a global scale face significant challenges managing financial data across domestic and international branches. These challenges are amplified when it comes to overseas subsidiaries, which must navigate various local accounting standards, multi-currency and multilingual operations, and ensure consistency with headquarters' financial reporting.

Existing solutions often involve a cumbersome manual process of creating individual consolidated packages or transferring data manually, causing delays and inefficiencies. The rise in overseas implementations of GLASIAOUS has underscored the need for better integration with headquarters' consolidated financial processes.

Overview of the Integration

Through this API integration, accounting data entered into GLASIAOUS by overseas branches will be automatically uploaded to Money Forward's Cloud Consolidated Accounting. This seamless transfer of information is expected to deliver numerous advantages:

• - Enhanced analytical capabilities by utilizing diverse metrics from GLASIAOUS to improve consolidated financial reporting.
• - Maintenance of data accuracy through GLASIAOUS’s internal control functions during the integration process.
• - Significant reduction in manual labor and duplicated data entry, freeing up resources for more strategic tasks.
• - Faster consolidated closing operations enabling timely financial status assessments during monthly closures.

Upcoming Webinar

To further educate stakeholders on the API integration capabilities of Money Forward's Cloud Consolidated Accounting and GLASIAOUS, a free webinar titled “Challenges Faced by Global Enterprises: Addressing Local Issues and Consolidated Accounting” will be held on May 26, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM (JST). Interested participants can register via this link until 5:00 PM on May 25, 2026.

Future Developments

Both B-EN-G and Money Forward are committed to fortifying their support for finance and accounting professionals in globally expanding firms through joint seminars and marketing activities under the GLASIAOUS Consortium umbrella. This initiative aims to enhance resources for companies navigating international business challenges.
