Who I work with
I work with a variety of Japanese-owned companies operating in the US.
My specialty
I specialize in helping Japanese companies establish successful operations in the US. I break down complicated accounting and tax implications for them in plain English and Japanese, I help them establish reliable, compliant financial reporting structures and even connect them to the resources they need to be successful.
