Tofu's AI Bookkeeping Service Expands with freee Integration
The AI automatic bookkeeping service "tofu" has made headlines with its exciting new partnership with freee, the popular cloud accounting software developed by freee Co., Ltd. Starting June 15, 2026, tofu will integrate with freee's accounting system through API connections, making it easier for users to set up their accounting processes in just a few clicks.
Effortless Setup and Learning
Tofu, known for its intelligent ability to read receipts, invoices, and bank statements, provides a streamlined service for bookkeeping. It leverages AI technology to automate the creation of journal entries, significantly reducing the workload associated with accounting tasks, potentially by as much as 70%. This powerful tool is versatile, catering to handwritten documents and supporting over 200 languages.
With the new API integration, users will be able to import various master data, such as account categories and previous transaction information from freee accounting directly into tofu. This functionality drastically shortens the initial setup time, allowing users to complete the setup in just a few minutes.
This is only the first phase of tofu's collaboration with freee. Future enhancements will include features to automatically relay transaction data created in tofu back to freee via API, further streamlining accounting processes for users.
Key Features of the Integration
- - When a new business location is created in tofu, users can easily import relevant master data from freee accounting through the API.
- - Users can also retrieve existing transactions from freee, allowing tofu to learn and apply specific bookkeeping rules effectively.
Launch in freee App Store
The integration will officially launch in the freee app store on June 15, 2026. Users can look forward to exploring this easy-to-use tool at
freee App Store.
Strategic Expansion into Japan
Tofu is not just limited to Japan — it serves clients in over 50 countries, including more than 250 accounting firms and over 2,500 end clients worldwide. An engineering team based in Tokyo developed tofu, and the service is set to make a significant push into the Japanese market in July 2026.
In conjunction with its entry into Japan, Tofu has formed a partnership with Seven Sense Tax Corporation, a leading firm in AI and digital transformation ranked 31st nationally by Weekly Toyo Keizai.
