TIS Intec Group's Nihon ICS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Shinji Nishibayashi; hereinafter: Nihon ICS) announces that it will begin offering "ICS Digital Workplace," a remote access platform that connects the operations of accounting firms and client companies in the same environment, to accounting firms and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) starting May 1, 2026.
"ICS Digital Workplace" is an internet-based platform that allows staff of accounting firms and employees of client companies to remotely access the accounting firm's system environment from a browser, anytime, anywhere, while ensuring high security. It eliminates the need for data entry in accounting data transfer and is expected to reduce a series of operational man-hours, including confirmation and correction, by up to 50% depending on the operational status.

Background
In recent years, the tax accountant industry, including accounting firms, has faced a declining workforce due to the aging population, coupled with concentrated workloads during seasonal periods such as tax filing and year-end adjustments. This makes it difficult to flexibly utilize human resources under traditional office-based work systems.
Similarly, SMEs face challenges such as the individualization of accounting operations and declining operational efficiency. There is an urgent need to adapt to diverse work styles, such as balancing work with childcare and nursing care, promoting women's participation in the workforce, and utilizing regional talent.
In this situation, for accounting firms and SMEs to achieve sustainable growth, there is a demand for a new operational platform that is not constrained by time or location, and a mechanism that expands the scope of human resource utilization.
Nihon ICS has been working to develop a digital environment that supports diverse work styles for accounting firms and SMEs, based on its long-standing expertise in accounting practices. Therefore, we developed "ICS Digital Workplace," a remote access platform that enables accounting firm staff and SME accounting personnel to efficiently carry out digital work anytime, anywhere, by connecting the operations of accounting firms and client companies in the same environment.
Overview
"ICS Digital Workplace" is a platform that allows secure remote connection to an accounting firm's system environment from outside the office, at home, or from a client company, by logging in from our service website "MYICS."
"MYICS" is a cloud portal that connects all users and information, allowing quick access to necessary information through content such as the latest updates and learning, making operations smoother and more comfortable.
Realizing remote work using "ICS Digital Workplace" promotes diverse work styles, such as enabling the balance of work with childbirth, childcare, and nursing care.
Significant reduction in man-hours for data transfer through real-time collaboration between accounting firms and SMEs
Accounting firms and client companies can perform operations on the same platform, allowing real-time sharing of accounting data regardless of the connection point.
This eliminates the need for data entry in accounting data transfer, and a series of operational man-hours, including confirmation and correction, can be expected to be reduced by 50% depending on the operational status.
Furthermore, by centralizing a series of operations from journal entry creation to confirmation and tax filing, it achieves operational efficiency and prevents reliance on specific individuals, supporting quick management decisions for companies.
Secure operational platform that can utilize existing accounting firm servers
It builds an environment that allows secure external access while keeping data on the accounting firm's server. This ensures security while enabling the integration of external personnel into operations.
It realizes flexible responses to busy seasons and labor shortages, supporting the resolution of issues such as personnel shortages and reliance on specific individuals for accounting firms and SMEs.
