Domestic tax consultation
Tax Advice for Today's Questions and Your Next Step
For this tax issue,
who should I ask?
You have been notified of a tax audit, an inheritance has arisen, or you want to check something before forming a company.
Or perhaps you would like an opinion from a specialist other than your current tax adviser.
In such situations, our principal, tax accountant Kenji Yanagisawa, consults with you directly online or in person. You are welcome even without an advisory agreement or if you only need help with this particular issue.
Contact Us in Situations Like These.
I would like another perspective
You want to clarify advice you have received or check for alternatives before deciding. We provide second opinions without requiring a change of tax advisor.
Before starting a business or a new transaction
Should you start as a sole proprietor or incorporate? Before entering a contract or restructuring, you want to understand the tax issues and next steps.
Preparing for an Inheritance or Dealing with One That Has Occurred
Where should you start, and what tax checks or procedures are needed? We ask about your family and assets and organize the order of action.
For tax audits and unexpected problems
The tax office has contacted you. You are concerned about how a past transaction was treated. You want advice on what to check first and which documents to prepare.
The purpose of the consultation is to clarify what to do next.
In the initial consultation, we listen to your circumstances and goals, then identify issues, options, and next steps. Our principal tax accountant, formerly with KPMG Tax Corporation, draws on experience in entrepreneurship, restructuring, and M&A as well as tax.
The facts of a completed transaction cannot be changed. For future transactions, however, some aspects can be planned before execution. Whether you consult before a contract or decision, or after a problem has arisen, we consider the steps available from your current position.
If documents need closer review or further research is necessary, we explain what must be checked and how to proceed rather than force a conclusion during the meeting.
After the Consultation, Only the Support You Need.
AFTER THE CONSULTATION
A One-Off Consultation Is Welcome. If You Need Ongoing Support,
Support for routine tax matters, year-end accounts, and tax returns, based on keeping your books in-house.
We can also join as your second tax advisor while you retain your current advisor.
Second opinions, business launches, new transactions, inheritance, tax audits, and other consultations are available on an hourly basis.
Our Principal, Tax Accountant Kenji Yanagisawa, Takes Responsibility for Supporting You.
If the initial consultation provides the direction you need, you may stop there. Where ongoing support is needed, we primarily suggest the following three paths.
01 Ongoing Support through an Advisory Agreement
For those seeking continuing access to advice from day-to-day accounting and tax questions through year-end accounts and filings.

Where you need support from analysis through implementation on a specific matter, such as a tax audit or restructuring, we agree the scope and fees under a separate engagement.
03 Documenting Our View in a Tax Opinion
When you need a professional opinion setting out the facts and supporting grounds for a past transaction or a planned action.
