GRCEED Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Taiyo Imazeki; hereinafter 'the Company') will officially begin offering 'G-Quol,' a management SaaS for freelancers and sole proprietors, starting in mid-May 2026. Prior to this release, the Company hereby expresses its recognition of the social challenges behind the service and the value it provides.
■ Background — Approximately 1.5 Years Since the Freelance Act
The 'Freelance Act' (Act on Optimization of Transactions Involving Specific Entrusted Business Operators), which took effect in November 2024, has significantly improved the 'external environment' for freelancers through mandatory delivery of contract documents and clear disclosure of transaction terms. On the other hand, the 'internal management' of freelancers themselves remains untouched. Information such as project status, work hours, sales forecasts, and billing status often remains fragmented across spreadsheets, notepads, calendars, and accounting software, integrated only within the individual's mind. As a result, many freelancers fall into a state where they can only describe next month's sales by 'gut feeling' or lose weekends to end-of-month billing tasks, unable to escape the structure of 'growing while sacrificing their lives.'
■ Proposal — 'Management Comes Before Accounting.'
The Company views this situation as follows: Accounting software represented by freee and Money Forward is already widely used. However, the area they handle is the 'recording of money.' The preceding steps—'project progress,' 'workload visualization,' and 'understanding billing status'—that is, 'management itself,' remains a void. 'Management comes before accounting.' The Company positions this management void as the primary battlefield that freelancers and sole proprietors must reclaim.
■ Solution — Management SaaS 'G-Quol'
Based on this philosophy, the Company developed 'G-Quol,' a management SaaS for freelancers and sole proprietors. G-Quol unifies the following three areas:
1. Projects and Contracts as One — Integrated management of projects, clients, and contracts.
2. Turning Activity into Numbers — Aggregation of man-hours by project and client.
3. Non-stop Billing — Stay informed of your business's current location with invoice issuance and a monthly dashboard.
G-Quol is designed not as a replacement for accounting software but as a management infrastructure for the 'pre-accounting' phase, intended for combined use.
■ Brand Promise
Growth, without giving up your life. 'Long-term growth over fast growth.' The Company positions G-Quol as the first product to implement this philosophy in society.

■ CEO Comment
'As we enter an era where accounting software handles "recording," the next thing to organize is "management" itself. I want to create an era where we no longer have to say that freelance freedom is killed by paperwork. Long-term growth over fast growth. We will continue to build tools that allow for growth without sacrificing one's life.' — Taiyo Imazeki, CEO, GRCEED Inc.
