Thank you for visiting the home page of Eiji Ichinose, Certified Tax Accountant.
I started Tax Accountant Office in March 2021, after having worked mainly in a banking group in addition to managing the Finance Department of a firm listed on the First section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
It can be difficult for people who can't read Japanese to start a new business or to grow it further in Japan.
Besides the Japanese tax system that annoys even the Japanese, you are required to handle a wide range of business issues.
Having a reliable partner, who can communicate in English and understand your underlying objectives for each transaction what
you want to achieve, will concentrate on your business with keeping tax compliance to maximize benefit.
I lived in the United States and the United Kingdom for four and a half years.
I thank the people who supported and helped me during those days.
I sincerely hope to pay it forward by contributing to your proper tax management and improving your business operation with my experience.
I am looking forward to working for you.
