Overview
Since its founding in 2012, Money Forward has grown into one of Japan’s leading FinTech companies, offering dozens of products and serving over 200,000 paying B2B SaaS users. We balance the core demands of stability and rapid innovation—especially as AI reshapes expectations—ensuring that our services deliver lasting value to businesses nationwide.
The Partner Product Development Department (Business Segment, SMB Domain) oversees the product line for partner professionals, primarily accounting firms and labor and social security attorney offices, who are essential to our business. The department continuously addresses challenges faced by Japanese accounting firms, enhancing the productivity of these crucial partners and achieving mutual growth with Money Forward. Professionals still spend significant time on paper-based tasks, such as receipt management and application forms, which limits advisory capacity. Money Forward Cloud has prioritized partners since its inception to drive SME digital transformation, and as of 2023, our cloud accounting service is the No.1 choice among accounting firms with a 45% share. We aim to unlock even more value so that professionals can focus on helping SMEs grow.
