Tsuji & Hongo IT Consulting and Bell System 24 Join Forces

In a significant move to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Japan, Tsuji & Hongo IT Consulting Co., Ltd. and Bell System 24 Co., Ltd. have announced the launch of a new economic digitization (DX) outsourcing service. Starting from September 2026, this collaborative service is set to transform the way SMEs handle their accounting operations by improving efficiency and addressing the workforce shortages that many are currently facing.

Addressing Industry Challenges

The vast majority of Japan's businesses, approximately 3.37 million, are classified as SMEs, accounting for over 99% of the nation's companies. Despite their crucial role in supporting the Japanese economy, these enterprises often struggle with severe labor shortages. The challenges are compounded by ongoing regulatory changes in the accounting sector, such as the introduction of the invoice system, electronic document storage laws, and new leasing accounting standards. While these reforms aim to enhance operational transparency and productivity, they also necessitate extensive adjustments in business processes, systems, and employee training.

Unfortunately, many SMEs find themselves trapped in a cycle where the complexity of their accounting operations, combined with a lack of standardized rules, hinders the effective implementation of digital transformation solutions. As a result, even when new systems are introduced, they fail to achieve meaningful transformation.

To combat these issues, Tsuji & Hongo IT Consulting, leveraging its profound understanding of the accounting challenges faced by SMEs and its expertise in system selection and implementation, has teamed up with Bell System 24, renowned for its extensive experience in outsourcing across various industries. The unique synergy of these two companies will streamline the process of digitalizing accounting tasks thoroughly.

Unique Features of the Service

1. Expert Consulting and Technology Solutions:
Tsuji & Hongo IT Consulting's foundation as a professional group of tax accountants and labor consultants ensures a deep understanding of managerial challenges and regulatory reforms. Their team delivers bespoke consulting services to address these challenges, recommending optimal systems and software independently without reliance on any specific vendor.

2. Established Process Optimization:
With more than 40 years of experience, Bell System 24 has accumulated extensive knowledge in refining business processes. This experience allows them to evaluate and enhance tasks that have become reliant on specific individuals, thereby increasing operational consistency. Their dedicated team of accounting professionals will assist in managing accounting tasks and revising operational rules, advancing the digital transformation that has previously stymied many SMEs.

Future Outlook

Looking ahead, Tsuji & Hongo IT Consulting and Bell System 24 plan to extend their support beyond accounting to encompass a broader spectrum of office operations for SMEs. Their aim is not only to protect but also to enhance the competitive edge of these companies through effective digital transformation practices. Together, they aspire to contribute significantly to the sustainable growth of Japan's SMEs.
