Strengthening support for complex work rules and governance to facilitate the establishment of robust management frameworks

Money Forward, Inc. has rebranded “AKASHI” as “Money Forward Cloud Attendance Plus” and launched the service today, following the February 2026 announcement that the “AKASHI” business would join the Money Forward Group. This initiative will provide powerful support for streamlining back-office operations in mid-market and enterprise companies with diverse work styles and complex work rules.

As companies scale and work styles diversify, attendance management operations have become increasingly complex. For mid-market and enterprise companies in particular, it is essential to manage multiple work locations and diverse employment types while adapting to unique work rules, ensuring compliance with the Article 36 Agreement, and responding swiftly to frequent legal amendments.

Money Forward has been supporting corporate attendance management through “Money Forward Cloud Attendance,” a service known for its simple, clear, and intuitive interface. The addition of “Money Forward Cloud Attendance Plus”—which offers high configuration flexibility—to the company’s lineup establishes a support system capable of meeting the complex governance needs of the mid-market and enterprise sectors. This initiative will strengthen compliant attendance management and internal controls for companies of all sizes, supporting back-office digitalization and sustainable growth.
