Bridge Consulting Group Co., Ltd. Begins Handling 'Maruzen Research,' an Online Unlimited Reading Service for Accounting and Tax Books Provided by Maruzen Research Service Co., Ltd.

Bridge Consulting Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director CEO: Ryoichi Miyazaki; TSE Growth: Securities Code 9225; hereinafter referred to as "the Company") newly commenced handling 'Maruzen Research*' (hereinafter referred to as "the Service"), an online unlimited reading service for accounting and tax books, on April 1, 2026.

Background and Content of Service Launch

It is crucial for certified public accountants to appropriately keep up with the latest accounting standards, tax laws, and practical information when they become independent. However, the quality and quantity of information available after becoming independent are limited compared to when they belonged to a large organization.

The Service is an industry-leading digital library that features over 1,000 reliable accounting and tax-related books and magazines, allowing for free research of specialized information anytime, anywhere. It also boasts a highly-regarded function that enables cross-sectional searching of over 1,000 books, allowing those involved in accounting and tax practices to quickly access the information they need.

By providing the Service to certified public accountants registered on 'Kaikeishi.job,' a working platform specialized for certified public accountants operated by the Company, and to the Company's clients, we aim to build an efficient and advanced research environment by offering an accessible environment for professional books, even for those not belonging to large organizations. We will support certified public accountants and companies in addressing anxieties caused by knowledge gaps and practical challenges.

The Company will continue to strengthen its collaboration with highly specialized services and strive to provide solutions that contribute to improving the operational value of certified public accountants and companies.
