- Accounting
- Payments
- Financial reporting
- Tax compliance
Juan understands Philippine business practices, tax regulations, and accounting standards.
Its adherence to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) regulations and other features ensures businesses comply while removing the hassle of manual processes.
Juan stands out from other generic accounting programs with its unique design tailor-made for Filipino SMBs and accountants.
Moreover, this accounting platform eliminates the need for multiple tools, allowing businesses to focus on growing their ventures.
Juan traces its origins back to JuanTax, the Philippines’ first fully accredited electronic tax software provider (eTSP).
On the other hand, Jaz Philippines is the local business unit of Singapore-based accounting software company Jaz.
Their strategic merger marks their future success and expands Juan’s capabilities into a comprehensive accounting program and tax solution.
The launch campaign, “We Are Juan,” also embodies the vision of modernizing the Philippines’ accounting industry.
Furthermore, it fosters unity among Filipino professionals and businesses.
“Juan is more than just software; it’s a movement to help Filipino SMBs thrive,” said Marvin Galang, co-founder and CEO of JuanTax.
“We’re excited to see how this technology transforms the future of accounting in the Philippines,” he added.
“We are confident about what we’ll be able to achieve together,” stated Jaz founder and CEO Ajay Gopal.
“Southeast Asia is at a tipping point of accounting innovation, and we’re doubling down on the Philippines being one of the leaders in next-gen accounting and finance tech.”
