The company supports April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to express dreams. This press release is the dream of "You-A Co., Ltd."
You-A Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture; Representative Director: Yuto Takahashi) has set its mission to remove all barriers to learning back-office operations and to "foster accountants who can make independent decisions in a field without right answers." We will create a future where everyone can shine as the "ace" of their own story.
## We want to eliminate the tragedy of "bookkeeping exists, but practice doesn't."
Every year, many people pass the Nissho Bookkeeping Test and aspire to a career in accounting. However, what awaits them is a high "practical skill barrier." Job postings routinely list conditions such as "Bookkeeping Level 2 + 3 years of practical experience," but what is truly required in the field of small and medium-sized enterprises is not the advanced consolidated accounting knowledge learned in Bookkeeping Level 2.
"I know the rules of debit and credit, but I don't know how to organize receipts."
"I can't establish judgment criteria in the field."
—There is a constant stream of people who fall into this "practical paper driver" state. As a result, a serious mismatch has occurred between "companies that only want to hire experienced individuals" and "job seekers who have no place to gain experience."
We will break this curse.
## Creating a Place for Failure in the Accounting World, Where There Are No "Practice Radishes."
Representative Takahashi has an unusual background as a former chef. In the world of artisans, one learns knife skills by repeatedly peeling radishes and making mistakes. However, in the accounting world, there were no "practice radishes." The clean, textbook-perfect numbers do not exist in the field.
Trial balances that don't match, ambiguous evidence, noisy documents.
Suddenly, you're on the real job, fighting under pressure where not even a 1-yen mistake is allowed.
People cannot grow this way.
That's why we created a "simulation environment where it's okay to fail." Through the virtual space "Oden" and the practical RPG "Kei wa Kai Nari," users can playfully resolve the discrepancies and mistakes that frequently occur in the field.
Our dream is to make this "training ground where correct failure experiences can be accumulated" into an infrastructure accessible to everyone throughout Japan.
## A New Form of Partnership Beyond Bookkeeping Agencies
Beyond this dream is an update for society as a whole, including not only accounting staff but also management and tax accountants. Currently, many companies outsource bookkeeping, but the situation where managers do not grasp their own company's numbers is healthy...
