For Entrepreneurs Who Want a Fulfilling Life
My company is not yet large enough to retain a tax adviser…
I only need a tax accountant I can rely on in a crisis, such as a tax audit or cash shortfall...
Global business, venture finance, business models, IPOs, and M&A,
There is more I would like to learn from a tax accountant than just tax and accounting…
We meet those needs!
Entrepreneurs face endless challenges. Even so, I want everyone who has taken the leap to build a fulfilling life.
We are professionals who support entrepreneurs in building fulfilling lives.
Since opening in 2004, our office has been fortunate to work with many clients: people relocating overseas, including to tax havens; businesses establishing overseas subsidiaries and expanding globally; companies raising funds from angel investors and venture capital firms; businesses achieving turnarounds by changing their business models; companies completing IPOs; and owners selling through M&A and retiring happily. We have worked alongside our clients on a great many projects.
I considered how to share this knowledge with as many people as possible and help more entrepreneurs change society for the better. I concluded that a Virtual Advisor service providing weekly information and support was both the best approach and a necessary one.
What is Virtual Advisory?
Even if you run a small startup, are self-employed, or operate outside Tokyo, subscribing to just one of our paid newsletters gives you insights into entrepreneurship, business building, overseas expansion, tax, accounting, and finance without a high retainer. When you face a tax audit, a potential cash shortfall, or management concerns, you can also access consulting at reduced fees.
If you already have a tax advisor, you can use our service for a second opinion.
You do not need to be based in Tokyo. The newsletter reaches you every week regardless of location, and we provide consultations by Skype or telephone without requiring an office visit, except where an on-site visit is essential, such as for a tax audit or local consulting work. Of course, you are always welcome to visit our office.

(*1) Consumption tax is charged separately on all fees above.
(*2) Virtual Advisory is a virtual service and does not include year-end accounts or tax return preparation as tax accountant services. If you need these services, please enter into a standard tax advisory engagement with our firm.
(*3) Virtual Advisory clients may list us as their tax adviser on their website's company profile page and link to our office. This is subject to two conditions: (1) our office must attend any tax audit as your tax representative, and (2) your company must not be an antisocial or anti-capitalist organization. Listing legal or tax advisers in a company profile generally appears to help enhance a company's credibility.
