SoLabo Launches Tax Accountant Firm

On June 2, 2025, SoLabo Corporation, led by CEO Hirokazu Tahara and headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, announced the establishment of its new entity, SoLabo Tax Accountants, under the leadership of managing partner Haruki Teshima. This marks a pivotal step for the firm, which has supported over 10,000 business consultations annually since its founding in December 2015.

The Vision Behind SoLabo Tax Accountants

The inception of SoLabo Tax Accountants comes from a deep-seated belief that the evolution of tax professionals can significantly bolster the resilience and growth of Japanese small businesses. The firm aims to harness technology, particularly AI and cloud-based accounting, to streamline tax processes and enhance value delivery.

The prevailing notion that tax accountants merely handle bookkeeping needs to be challenged. In a world where AI is redefining operational productivity and efficiency, there is an opportunity to create substantial value by focusing on empowering businesses through financial and tax insights. However, current digital literacy within the tax profession remains low, especially among numerous small firms, which often overlook the benefits of modern technology in their daily operations.

At this 10-year milestone for SoLabo Corporation, there is a renewed commitment to industry innovation through the establishment of SoLabo Tax Accountants, led by a tech-savvy team focused on changing the narrative about tax professionals.

The Role of Haruki Teshima

To spearhead the change, Haruki Teshima, a 24-year-old certified public accountant and tax advisor with a keen understanding of technology, has been appointed as the representative of SoLabo Tax Accountants. His leadership is expected to uncover discomforts within the tax profession and leverage technology for solving industry-specific challenges.

Teshima remarked, “We aspire to be the primary partner for our clients’ ongoing business growth, offering more than just tax-related consultation but comprehensive support in funding and management strategies. By maximizing the use of generative AI and cloud accounting, we intend to establish an environment that facilitates real-time financial tracking and decision-making, thus supporting continuous growth.”

The Mission of SoLabo Tax Accountants

SoLabo Tax Accountants operates under the mission, “Change the tax accountants, and you will change small businesses.” In Japan, where over 99% of companies are small businesses—85% of which are microenterprises—finding a reliable and capable consultation partner is crucial. Tax accountants are expected to fill this role, bringing expertise and insights that foster growth.

Without adapting to the digital age, tax professionals risk failing their clients. SoLabo aims to become a leader in digital transformation within the industry while simultaneously contributing to the growth of clients’ businesses through financial data utilization and innovative solutions. Plans are underway to extend the technologies developed by SoLabo Tax Accountants across the tax professional landscape, furthering the sector's advancement.

Continuing the SoLabo Tradition

As part of the SoLabo Group, this new venture is set to bring transformative innovations to the tax accounting field. Under Teshima's guidance, SoLabo Tax Accountants is committed to efficiently addressing clients’ needs while preparing a robust framework that drives economic growth for small businesses.
