# Accountants and outsourced accounting in Japan — overview of prices and options

Besides doing the books yourself in freee/MoneyForward, it is common to hire a visiting or remote tax accountant (zeirishi, 税理士), or to fully outsource to a specialized firm. Prices vary widely — from a subscription of roughly 15,000-33,000 yen/month to a one-off turnkey annual filing for 200,000 yen. See: Accountant and outsourced-accounting pricing and options.
