Yayoi Kaikei Next is the cloud accounting product of Yayoi, a long-standing Japanese vendor of small business software. It imports bank data, suggests accounts with AI, turns plain-text descriptions into entries and reads documents for bookkeeping.

Yayoi Kaikei Next covers bookkeeping, financial statements, invoicing and expense management for corporations. Transactions arrive from banks, credit cards, e-money and point-of-sale systems, and documents are read through the companion service Yayoi Shohyo Next with storage under the Electronic Bookkeeping Act. Yayoi Co., Ltd. has its head office in Tokyo, belongs to the KKR group and reports 801 employees (September 2025).

The company also sells the desktop product Yayoi Kaikei and tax return services for sole proprietors. Its partner program connects more than 14,000 accounting firms that can share data with their clients.

• Suggests accounts for bank dataFor transactions pulled in automatically from banks and cards, AI proposes the account code. Yayoi states that the learning function improves accuracy the more the product is used, so recurring items need fewer manual corrections.
• Creates entries from plain textFor cash or unconnected transactions, staff type a short description and AI transaction input prepares the journal entry. The function can be used up to 300 times per month per account.
• Reads invoices and receiptsUploaded documents are read by Yayoi Shohyo Next, and the extracted data becomes a transaction record. Owners and bookkeepers no longer retype supplier, date and amount, and the documents stay stored in line with Japanese rules.

• Public yearly plans from ¥34,800 excluding tax, with AI entry support and document reading included in all paid plans.
• Free trial of up to two months that does not convert into a paid plan automatically.
• Partner program with more than 14,000 accounting firms in Japan, according to the vendor.

Yayoi is based in Tokyo, claims 26 consecutive years as the top-selling accounting software in Japan and cites about 14,000 accounting firms in its partner program.

Yayoi Kaikei Next is a Japanese-language product for Japanese bookkeeping and tax rules, so it suits a small Japanese entity rather than a group finance team abroad. The public pages do not name the hosting location, security certifications or SSO. Check whether your tax advisor in Japan already uses Yayoi, and note that the cash flow analysis is still labeled beta.
