  • Why did you join the BCCJ?

    'Actually, I used to live and work in UK and one of our colleagues (managing partner) currently resides in UK. From this experience, we became very interested in the UK as well as British society & business. We have been serving UK clients (in-bound) for a few years now and realised this was a good moment to join BCCJ.'

     

  • What do you most hope to gain from your time as a member?

    'We are keen to connect with members across the BCCJ community and to support businesses facing accounting and financial complexities as they expand or operate across borders.'

     

  • What makes your organisation unique in your industry or market?

    'We specialise in audit services as independent auditors, as well as advisory support in internal controls and governance, particularly for foreign-affiliated companies based in Japan. Our team brings many years of experience working not only in the UK, but also across Europe.'
