As a “Behind-the-Scenes Partner” for Entering the Japanese Market

I launched JPA in 2023 with the desire to firmly support the foundational work for foreign companies starting businesses in Japan from a practical standpoint.

While the Japanese market is highly attractive, there are many new things to learn and prepare for, such as unique business customs and tax systems.

As a behind-the-scenes partner facilitating these practical operations smoothly, we help create an environment where you can focus on your core business with peace of mind.

Consolidating Essential Operations into a Single Window

While our management team comes from accounting and tax backgrounds, running a company actually requires diverse specialized knowledge.

Therefore, at JPA, we operate by forming an alliance (team) not only with tax and accounting professionals, but also with experts in legal affairs, human resources (HR), marketing, and IT.

From company incorporation procedures and daily bookkeeping to IT environment setup and marketing, we have built a system that provides one-stop support for all the “elements necessary for foreign companies to expand their business in Japan.”

A Track Record of Supporting Over 700 Companies with Consumption Tax

Among the support we provide, we have received a particularly high volume of requests regarding Japanese consumption tax practices over the past few years.

Although the Japanese tax system can be somewhat complex for foreign businesses, JPA has supported the registration and tax filing for over 700 foreign companies to date.

Through our daily operations, practical know-how that can be utilized on the front lines has been firmly accumulated within our team.

Valuing English “Live Calls” Over Just Emails

When managing a Japanese business from overseas, we believe that ease of communication is more important than anything else precisely because of the physical distance.

The JPA team consists of bilingual members, and our support is not limited to just email exchanges.

For status updates and quick consultations, we make it a point to speak directly via English live calls (online meetings) using Google Meet.

This is because talking face-to-face is much faster than exchanging lengthy English emails back and forth, and above all, it allows us to advance the project with a mutual sense of security.
