Beyond Incorporation.Functional Excellence in Japan

Corporate registration is just the first piece of a complex puzzle. The real challenge lies in ensuring that the organization “functions properly” after it is established. We provide end-to-end support, from the complete setup of tax, HR, and financial systems beyond registration to language strategies for management.

Our Approach

We don't just do the work for you; we design the whole picture for optimal performance.

We are not merely contractors handling administrative tasks. We serve as a “gateway” to the Japanese market, acting as project managers who break down the barriers posed by complex regulations and business customs.

01 Gateway & Project Management

Design and project management for your entire Japan market entry initiative • Optimal assignment of tax accountants, labor consultants, attorneys, judicial scriveners, and other professionals • Practical guidance to overcome barriers related to language, regulations, and business customs • Decision-making support that enables you to instantly determine “who to ask and what to ask them”

We serve as your “first point of contact when you need help”

02 Market Entry & Legal Setup

Incorporation and registration (in collaboration with partner specialists) • Various filings with the tax office and local government (notification of incorporation, blue-form tax return, etc.) • Bank account opening and office lease agreements • Coordination of various licenses and permits

In Japan, “registration” alone is insufficient. A corporation only becomes operational in practice once all filings with the tax office are complete.

03 HR, Payroll & Labor Compliance

Drafting of employment regulations • Filing with the Labor Standards Inspection Office (※Effective only upon submission) • Social insurance and employment procedures • Payroll processing and year-end tax adjustments

In Japan, labor compliance is not merely about “drafting” documents; compliance is established only upon completion of filing with the Labor Standards Inspection Office.

04 Finance & Tax Coordination

From bookkeeping and monthly reports to corporate tax returns, we oversee the entire financial process from a management perspective. Going beyond mere data management, we design your financial infrastructure to function as an “information infrastructure directly linked to management decisions,” including support for the selection and implementation of ERP systems. By collaborating with certified public accountants, we ensure both the accuracy and speed of your tax filings.

We are not merely “accounting staff”; we oversee your finances from a financial design perspective.
