One of the strength for this firm is international company and actually, it seemed that international company has more connection with individual firm (not big4).

The reason is that CFO at international company has private network about CPA or Tax specialist and ask support them. On the other hand, domestic company tends to ask Big4 and less ask to individual firm.

Comparing domestic and international, over all, Japanese company is more mature than international company. I consider that following three points are picked up.

1. International company is more strict about HC
2. Tax specialist is required broaden skill about tax field, and it takes time to grow those talented person
3. Very few people who are good at English and Tax

For small companies, tax issue is limited so might not need to hire permanent staff. In that case, this firm is able to support clients and especially CFO or Manager level, they need to focus on more managerial task instead of tax, so please feel free to contact with me.
