TKC is a specialized electronic data processing center for accounting firms and local governments.

TKC Corporation was incorporated on October 22, 1966, with its head office located in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture.
At the time of incorporation, its founder Dr. Takeshi Iizuka specified the following two activities as the business objectives of TKC to be stipulated in its Articles of Incorporation:

1. Management of EDP centers for the purpose of defending the professional domain and maintaining control over the fate of accounting firms
2. Management of EDP centers for the purpose of improving the administrative efficiency of local governments

As TKC grew bigger with the expansion of its businesses, several other business objectives were added. Yet, the first two objectives still remain at the top of the items in Article 2 (Business Objectives) of its Articles of Incorporation, highlighting the initial principles of TKC’s management.
Dr. Iizuka opened an accounting firm in 1946. In 1962, he attended the 8th World Congress of Accountants in the U.S. and was impressed by how the business of accounting firms was being revolutionized by the use of computers. This experience convinced him to set up a data processing center dedicated to accounting firms. However, the plan hit a stumbling block, the “Iizuka Case,” and could not be carried out immediately. The Iizuka Case was a criminal lawsuit brought against four employees of the Iizuka Tax Consulting Firm by a tax authority. On November 11, 1970, the court found none of the defendants guilty. Prior to that in October 1966, Dr. Iizuka had decided to set up a data processing center without waiting for the conclusion of the case.
In preparation for its establishment, he first set out a management principle in the Articles of Incorporation.
“Defending the professional domain and maintaining control over the fate of accounting firms” was that principle. It did not give any hint of the Iizuka Case that was at its height at the time. Indeed, he established a management vision with a broad and ambitious mind and a strong sense of mission.
The start of TKC’s business with local governments was sparked by a single phone call from the government of Kuroiso Town (currently Nasushiobara City), Tochigi Prefecture, in 1966 when TKC was still in its infancy. The government of Kuroiso Town had read a newspaper article about the establishment of Tochigi-ken Keisan Center K.K. and proposed that TKC should consider engaging in the business of providing services to local governments.
At that time, operations at local governments in Tochigi Prefecture had barely been computerized. That proposal sparked TKC’s entry into the local governments market and established the objective of “improving the administrative efficiency of local governments” in Article 2, paragraph 2, of its Articles of Incorporation.
(Excerpt from Furusato Nihon 35 (Japan, Our Home Country 35), a booklet published by TKC in commemoration of its 35th anniversary)

Since then, TKC has consistently developed specialized information services dedicated to its two main businesses of accounting firms and local governments and has established its unique position in the information industry of Japan.
Accounting firms and local governments are both fields that are built on the foundation of legal expertise and extensive experience. Therefore, the systems that TKC provides must have specialized capabilities and fully comply with applicable laws and ordinances. The systems are also required to adapt quickly to legislative amendments and possess high standards of social responsibility. In other words, TKC’s role in society is to provide support through information and communications technology (ICT) to certified public tax accountants, certified public accountants, and local government officials with high standards of social responsibility in carrying out their duties, while maintaining extensive knowledge about tax laws, commercial laws, civil laws, administrative laws, and other relevant laws, thereby contributing broadly to the development of the Japanese economy and local communities.
TKC is committed to continuously deepening its expertise, enhancing its services and improving quality, and pursuing innovation in order to fulfill such a role in society.

Today, TKC offers the following information services:
