ZoooU is a service that standardizes tax accounting operations and provides them as SaaS, thereby reducing tax accountant liability risks (hereafter, tax liability risks) that arise from omissions in tasks while streamlining operations.

“ZoooU”, a business management tool that eliminates omissions in the routine work of tax accountants
■ Current state of the tax accountant industry
The total number of tax accountants in Japan is about 80,000 (*1), but while it is said that “the maximum number of advisory companies per person is about 15 in order to maintain quality,” in reality there are more than 30 companies per person. It’s not uncommon.
In addition, about 50% of the 80,000 tax accountants are in their 60s or older. As a result, there is a serious shortage of successors due to a chronic overload of work and slow progress in business succession. *1.: Certified tax accountant system | National Tax Agency

In recent years, the tax system has become more complex, and since it is necessary to respond to the tax reform outline, which is updated every year, there are many omissions in routine work.
In fact, there are 189 lawsuits against tax accountants (*1) and 1.7 billion yen (*2) in liability insurance payments each year.
Under these circumstances, the existing business management tools currently used at the tax accountant office were developed based on the idea that “we only need to manage the tasks of the tax accountant office”. Since there is no system for visualizing the overall picture of tax accounting operations, including clients, and jointly managing tasks, it is not possible to prevent omissions in routine tasks. In addition, unique customizations have been made, making software updates more complicated, and creating new issues such as
system-related work at tax accountant offices becoming dependent on individual skills.
In 2019, Beso began development with an active tax accountant from Beso, a tax accountant corporation that is part of the same group. We have released a business management tool “ZoooU” that promotes DX of tax accounting operations and solves the management issues of small and medium-sized enterprises, and continues to improve it.

■ ZoooU service functions
On ZoooU’s “Tax event annual schedule” screen, you can visualize the amount of tax accounting work you have on an annual basis. You can check at a glance the “yearly business” and “number of target clients”.

We will continue to add functions that will ensure the execution of “high-priority tasks that are likely to lead to litigation.” Specifically, the following functions are scheduled to be released in 2022.
・Suggest function to prevent omissions in submission of various notification forms for consumption tax, income tax, and corporate tax ・ Judgment automation function to prevent misrecognition of advantage judgment regarding differences in tax amount
・A function to prevent confirmation errors by leaving legal grounds as a log by linking tasks and customer DBs
Furthermore, we will develop functions that contribute to the profitability of the office and the improvement of the performance of our clients.
The development of ZoooU has been led by a practicing tax accountant at Beso. This is because I feel that there are issues that can only be discovered from the perspective of an active tax accountant. We at Beso believe that tax accountants can create more value for companies. ■ About use
