Accountancy and audit

Japanese for accounts and finance teams: journals, invoices, the close, financial statements, tax, the audit and budgets.

For accountants and finance staff working in Japanese, or alongside Japanese colleagues. You'll learn the words on every accounting screen, how to chase an invoice politely, what people say in closing week, and how to get through a tax inspection or an audit visit. Language lessons, not accounting or tax advice. Best after Everyday Japanese 5 or 6.

Free to use. If these lessons help you, you can support new lessons on Patreon.
