Enhances outsourcing service offerings in accounting, tax and payroll

EY Business Partner Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kenji Kasahara; hereinafter “EYBP”) is proud to announce the opening of a new EYBP office in Okinawa on 1 September 2022.

Demand is growing every year for outsourcing services in bookkeeping, accounting and payroll operations as companies contend with rapidly changing business environments and shortages of personnel with specialized knowledge. As noted in our announcement dated 1 July 2022, EYBP is now the sole provider of the outsourcing services for bookkeeping, accounting and payroll which were previously provided by both EYBP and Ernst & Young Tax Co. This transition enables EY to enhance the quality of services provided to our clients.

This year, EY member firm EY Tax Co. celebrates 10 years of successful operations in Okinawa. With another expansion of the EY Japan presence in Okinawa via the opening of the EYBP Okinawa office, we bring new capabilities to the islands and greatly increase our ability to serve our clients. EYBP will continue to deepen our alliance with EY Tax Co., recruit and develop the talent necessary to meet the demands of both domestic and international clients, and to serve all of our clients with high value-added services.
