One-stop accounting, taxes, and payroll outsourcing services for foreign companies

In association with Ernst & Young group companies, we can provide accounting, payroll & statutory benefits processing, payment assistance, and tax services all from a single location in Tokyo.

Our People

We understand your business needs because our people are fully qualified to combine work and study to obtain professional qualifications. We offer numerous in-house courses so that our people stay current with the latest developments in US GAAP, IFRS, tax and labor laws. Our people can converse in English, the global language of business, and have access to training to maintain or improve their English language skills. That’s why most of our professionals have TOEIC® scores in the 900s (the top 4 percentile of test-takers). As over 90% of our group are permanent employees, and we have low staff turnover, we can offer a consistent quality service from experienced professionals.

Our Approach to Client Service

We create teams to offer you client service at its best. Each engagement is supported by at least three professionals: an engagement partner, an engagement manager, and a team member in charge of providing you with answers to your questions. We have an internal review of all reports before they are issued to ensure accuracy and consistency and meet EY quality control standards. In the unlikely event that your usual contact is unavailable, a team member will be able to provide support when you need it. Our firm is based in Tokyo.

Technology

We are constantly seeking ways of using technology to make our operations more efficient and transparent. To respond to our clients’ business needs, we have developed three proprietary cloud-based systems for accounting, employee information management and expense reporting. Our accounting system has been online since 2005. It interfaces with several ERP systems such as NetSuite, Dynamics GP, and Dynamics NAV, which enables data transfer for individual journal entries. There is no need to procure your own Japanese accounting software. We understand your need for cybersecurity, so all of our systems employ SHA-256 with RSA encryption technology in both English and Japanese.

Outsource your accounting, payroll and payments

We have certified professionals capable of managing your accounts reporting and preparing statutory financial statements for tax returns as well as U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Payroll information is exchanged in the cloud, giving you 24/7 on-demand access to your data. We can process certain statutory benefits for you through EY Social Insurance and Labor Advisors Co., and we can also assist in processing payments via online banking for operations and payroll.
