SoLabo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Koichi Tahara) will launch the 'Introduction to Practical Financing: 30-Minute Quick Seminar' in April 2026. The program is co-hosted by Ryohei Oyabu (Fundraising Leader, formerly of Japan Finance Corporation) and Ryosuke Ota (Fundraising Consultant, formerly of Shinkin Bank) from the Entrepreneur Support Division. Primarily targeting new and young staff at tax and accounting firms, as well as those looking to refresh their skills, the seminar will be held as a 30-minute live stream every fourth Thursday during lunchtime. Participants can systematically master everything from the basics of financing practice to advanced client support.
### Background of the Seminar For those starting careers at tax and accounting firms, financing practice is often an area with few systematic learning opportunities, forcing them to rely on fragmented knowledge or online information. It is not uncommon for staff to handle consultations from clients without sufficient expertise. Additionally, experienced professionals often seek to re-learn financing fundamentals. This seminar is designed as a self-improvement platform easily accessible during a 30-minute lunch break to address these issues. Through live Q&A sessions, participants can deepen their understanding based on real-world field information.
### Three Key Highlights 1. Learn Perspectives from Both JFC and Shinkin Simultaneously Opportunities to hear from former JFC and Shinkin bank staff together are rare. They will compare and explain the differences in screening criteria using real-world insights.
2. Perfect for New Hire Training and Knowledge Refreshing Starting in April, the curriculum builds from basics to applications over six months, making it ideal for both onboarding new employees and organizing the knowledge of experienced staff.
3. 30-Minute Lunchtime Design for Easy Participation Scheduled from 12:30 to 13:00, the seminar allows participants to listen while at their desks, enabling them to build financing knowledge without interrupting their daily operations.
### Program | April to September (Updates for September onwards will be announced as needed) (Monthly sessions covering basic financing knowledge through to advanced client support strategies.)
### Time Schedule 1. Lecture (10 min): Condensed key points of the theme 2. Dialogue (10 min): Differences in perspective between JFC and Shinkin 3. Q&A (10 min): Addressing questions pre-collected from participants
