ZERO ONE: Redefining Business Growth through Outsourced Accounting

In a world where efficiency and speed are critical to success, ZERO ONE is stepping up to highlight how outsourced accounting can serve as a game-changer for businesses aiming to grow. The company, which is a key part of the CROSSROAD Group, will be presenting real-life success stories at an upcoming online seminar titled “Don’t Fail! A Comprehensive Guide to First-Time Outsourcing of Accounting Services.” Scheduled for November 17-20, 2025, this free seminar will give insights into how the correct financial strategies can spur growth and streamline operations.

Understanding the Challenges Faced by SMEs

Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) grapple with numerous challenges that can hinder their progress. Some of these issues include:

- Disruption due to employee turnover: When accounting staff leaves, it can completely halt operations.
- Delays in decision-making: Lack of financial data can slow down important decision-making processes.
- Costs and time of hiring: The time and expenses of recruiting and training new staff can drain valuable resources.

To address these common pain points, outsourced accounting emerges as a practical solution, and this seminar will outline how businesses can reduce costs while improving their operational pace.

What to Expect at the Seminar

The seminar is set to feature compelling success stories from ZERO ONE’s extensive history with outsourcing services:

- 39% annual reduction in labor costs: From approximately 7.1 million Japanese yen to 4.3 million yen.
- Annual cost savings of roughly 2.8 million yen.
- Achievement of over 1 billion yen in sales within three years of implementation.

The speakers at this seminar will include:

- Masami Mishima, CEO of ZERO ONE
- Masumi Hashimoto, COO

Participants will have the opportunity to learn directly from these experienced leaders about the practical implications and advantages of employing outsourcing strategies.
