JuanTax and Jaz Philippines Launch Integrated AI-Powered Accounting Platform for Filipino SMBs

The strategic partnership between JuanTax, the Philippines' leading electronic tax software provider, and Jaz Philippines has resulted in the launch of JuanAccounting Software (Juan), a comprehensive AI-powered platform that integrates accounting, payments, financial reporting, and tax compliance into a single solution specifically designed for Filipino small and medium businesses. This collaboration addresses the significant challenges faced by local SMBs that typically rely on fragmented tools and manual processes, leading to inefficiencies and compliance risks.

Juan represents a significant advancement in the Philippine accounting landscape by offering deeply localized features that adhere to Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) regulations and understand local business practices. The platform's integration of accounting and tax processes eliminates the need for multiple tools, allowing businesses to streamline operations and reduce the burden of manual compliance work. Marvin Galang, Co-founder and CEO of JuanTax, emphasized that their mission is to empower Filipino businesses to focus on growth while the platform handles the complexities of accounting and tax compliance.

The platform's advanced AI technology, built on Jaz's patented multi-agentic system, deploys autonomous agents specializing in local accounting and tax standards. This innovation is particularly crucial given the country's accounting labor shortage, as it enables firms to scale operations efficiently while maintaining quality and compliance standards. The technology addresses a critical need in the market, as evidenced by the patent 10202401376Y issued on December 2, 2024, covering the method and system for AI agents in accounting.

Unlike generic international software solutions, Juan stands out for its user-friendly design tailored specifically to Filipino SMBs and accountants. The platform builds on JuanTax's established foundation as the Philippines' first fully accredited electronic tax software provider recognized by the BIR, which has served thousands of active users since its launch in 2017. The strategic merger with Jaz marks the next evolution in this success story, expanding capabilities to meet the evolving needs of Filipino businesses.

The launch positions the Philippines at the forefront of accounting innovation in Southeast Asia, with industry leaders recognizing the country's potential to become a leader in next-generation accounting and finance technology. Ajay Gopal, Founder and CEO of Jaz, expressed confidence in the partnership's ability to drive significant impact, noting Southeast Asia's current tipping point in accounting innovation. The platform's comprehensive approach to integrating multiple financial functions into a single solution represents a transformative development for the Philippine business community, potentially setting new standards for accounting technology in the region.
