Why We Chose to Make Our Employees Shareholders Now

Hello everyone.
This is the public relations team at Reiwa Accounting Holdings.
Today, I would like to talk about the theme of "gifting shares to all employees".

In recent years, the idea that "people are the source of corporate growth"—so-called human capital management—has become widely recognized and permeated society. We also believe that improving the engagement and autonomous growth of our employees is the essence of boosting corporate value.

Therefore, at the founder's discretion, it has been decided that all employees who do not hold shares as of April 1, 2025, will be gifted shares free of charge at the end of June of the same year.

The Founder's Strong Conviction

Looking back to December. At our 2024 "Year-End Party" (which we call a "Hope-End Party" at our company) following our listing, the founder said the following:

"I want everyone to become a shareholder.
Next June, when the lock-up period ends, I intend to gift shares free of charge to all employees, excluding those who already held shares before the listing.
While the concept of 'separation of capital and management' has long been common, I dare to believe that having the perspectives of both a 'shareholder' and an 'employee' will make the organization stronger."

The founder has faced numerous companies and managers to date. Among them, he says that companies that face management and succeed share a common attitude: 'employees think and act like managers.' The conviction nurtured amidst this led to the decision to 'make all employees shareholders.'

Toward an Organization Where Each Individual Has a 'Manager's Perspective'

We are a highly specialized professional group that supports client companies through accounting consulting. What is needed for this work is not just the ability to execute tasks, but also 'having a manager's perspective.' This share gifting is also an initiative to have all employees adopt that attitude.

The founder says, 'I want them to become strongly aware as shareholders of how they can contribute to the company's profits and how their work affects the company as a whole, and I want us to create corporate value together.'

A Culture That Continues into the Future

The 'all-employee shareholder' initiative is not a one-time event. In the future, we aim to continuously foster a culture where all employees are shareholders, such as by providing shares as bonuses to new employees.

With this share gifting, we will be more conscious than ever of the impact our work has on the company as a whole, and we will proactively think and act on how we can make the company better and how we can provide more value to our clients. Such a future is now unfolding before our eyes.

I hope that all of us together can create a stronger and more attractive company.
