From spending to a filed return

Users connect financial accounts, then classify spending manually or use AI trained under tax-accountant supervision. The app distinguishes business expenses from personal spending and carries those entries through to preparation and submission.

Growth funded with equity and loans

WiL leads the equity investment, with bank loans also included in the ¥1.3 billion financing. The company plans to invest in product capabilities, customer acquisition and hiring.
