From consultation to contract

Why do we look at the same screen?

This office runs both payroll and labor/social-insurance procedures on freee人事労務. Because we join the client's freee人事労務 as an advisor, you see the same data we do — employee records, payroll results, and application status. You can see what is done and what remains without having to ask.

One more thing we tell clients up front: freee人事労務 does not support filings made under the consultant's own credentials (dairi shinsei). Electronic applications are submitted from the client's account. This office records the engagement date, scope, and fee in the ledger required by Article 19 of the Certified Social Insurance and Labor Consultant Act, and keeps it for two years after the ledger is closed.

* If you do not use freee人事労務, or use another system, please consult us — including whether migration makes sense. System usage fees are borne by the client.

How are fees decided?

When do I know the fee?

Before we start. We present a written quote built up from the unit prices in our fee table. The amount is never decided after the work has begun.

What does the advisory fee include?

Labor consultations only — with no limit on frequency or time. Procedures, payroll, and drafting of rules are charged per item, for advisory clients as well. That is why the fee table also lists what is not included.

Can the amount increase later?

If work beyond the quoted scope becomes necessary, we quote again before starting it. We never proceed without telling you the amount first.

Are there items without a fixed price?

Yes: recruitment consulting, design of the treatment-improvement addition, external auditor engagements, and advisory or payroll for 30 or more people. The workload varies too much case by case, so these are quoted individually — not hidden, just honestly marked as not fixable in advance.

All unit prices are published in the fee table. The same table lists what is not included and whom we refer you to in those cases.

How far do we use AI?

We use generative AI for research and drafting — checking legal amendments, first drafts of rules, and explanatory materials. That shortens working time.

What AI makes cheaper is the work, not the responsibility. When something goes wrong, it is the licensed professional who answers for it. We have lowered our procedure fees to pass on the lighter workload — not to discount the responsibility.
