In a significant development for businesses transitioning to new accounting standards, Money Forward has officially launched its AI-powered BPO service, "Money Forward Omakase Lease Contract Management." Starting from April 1, 2027, this service will provide comprehensive assistance for large corporations and their subsidiaries in adapting to the new lease accounting standards.
Overview of the Service
The primary function of "Money Forward Omakase Lease Contract Management" is to manage lease contracts on behalf of companies. This service aims to alleviate the burden of securing necessary human resources and establishing internal infrastructures, allowing businesses to focus on their core activities. The AI technology combined with specialized operators ensures that companies can meet the deadline for compliance without the stress of internal resource allocation.
Since April 2026, Money Forward has been offering a beta version of this service. Upon its rollout, numerous inquiries were received from various organizations, and the positive feedback has been overwhelming. Users have expressed their appreciation for the service’s convenience, stating that merely uploading a contract allows for seamless lease identification and ledger creation. Additionally, the service provides detailed judgment bases and logs, which have been recognized as valuable resources for developing accounting policies supported by experts.
