Good accounting records are paramount for good management.
Organized accounting records help you a lot in managing your business.
Quality bookkeeping includes:
We prepare financial reporting based on IFRS and Japanese GAAP at your choice.
Our Quality Payroll includes:
When you buy a business like a small hotel or a restaurant, performing a Due Diligence is strongly recommended since there might be a hidden liability such as unpaid taxes, unpaid overtime pay, unpaid accounts payable or overstated assets such as inflated inventories which is no longer sellable, unpaid accounts receivable which is no longer collectible.
We perform a Due Diligence, plan a merger or a company split structure and coordinate with legal scrivener firms to execute the necessary legal processes such as a public notice or its registration.
Since we are also certified tax accountants, we will calculate tax impacts by different scenarios such as a merger, a qualified company split, unqualified company split, or straight forward assets/liability transfers by a contract.
We follow the M&A advisor guideline issued by Small and Medium Enterprise Agency under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (link).
We take care of your vendor and salary payments. You will give us access to your online banking account. We prepare payment instructions online and you approve the payments.
We set up a company (either GK or KK) for you for a reasonable fee. Please ask.
We advise on how you should structure your investment fund.
Various types of investment funds exist, including LPS (Limited Partnership for Investment), LLP (Limited Liability Partnership), GK (Godo Kaisha / Limited Liability Company), and TK (Tokumei Kumiai / Silent Partnership). We explain the characteristics and tax implications of each structure.
For non-resident investors, a key consideration is whether they will be deemed to have a Permanent Establishment (PE) under each structure. This is because, if a PE is deemed to exist, a Japanese tax filing obligation arises — even where the investor does not substantively hold authority over investment execution decisions.
1) Automatic Journaling
Simply take a photo of your receipts and invoices with our app, or forward them to your dedicated email address. Our system automatically processes the images and records the journal entries — no manual data entry required. Keep your books accurate and up to date, without the hassle.
Every scanned receipt and invoice is automatically linked to its corresponding journal entry and stored securely in the cloud. No more filing cabinets. No more lost documents. Need to find a receipt from six months ago? Just search by vendor name, amount, or any keyword — and it appears in seconds. Our system also meets the requirements of Japan’s Electronic Bookkeeping Act (電子帳簿保存法), recently revised to mandate the digital preservation of electronic documents. Your records are stored in full compliance — giving you peace of mind at tax time and during audits.
Go paperless. Stay organized. Stay compliant.
Most bookkeeping services record transactions on a cash basis and stop there. InsightBooks by definition goes further. Every entry is recorded on an accrual basis, with sub-accounts consistently applied — giving you a true picture of your financial position at any point in time. More importantly, we break down your profit and loss by product, by service line, or even by individual — so you can clearly see what is making money and what is not.
No more guessing. Just the numbers you need to make better business decisions.
