We work with some of Japan’s largest banks, trading houses, and other corporations on everything from advisory to audit.

Whether you’re a Japanese business looking for support and opportunities in the UK, or a UK business seeking expansion in Japan, we can help.

The UK and Japan benefit from a strong working relationship. A free trade deal signed between both countries in 2020 has enabled businesses to take advantage of both markets with reduced red tape across goods, services and digital.

Where others see borders, we see opportunities — our market-leading teams in Japan and the UK bring deep local expertise and trusted relationships to help you navigate and thrive in this dynamic market. Whether you're expanding into Japan or strengthening your presence, we deliver a seamless experience across language and cultural boundaries. Our skilled audit and assurance professionals are embedded with leading banks and trading houses, united by shared values and a commitment to excellence. 

Our common global audit and assurance methodologies use a shared process framework worldwide, meaning that our clients will get the same consistent, high-quality audit experience, wherever they are.

Using our multi-disciplinary expertise, we can support you on:

We’ll support you to ensure compliance with local obligations across various tax landscapes while keeping you updated on developments in cross-border tax, including transfer pricing and the management of cross-border structures.

We’ll make sure you’re compliant with financial reporting standards by providing conversion services for IFRS, UK GAAP, and JP GAAP. We'll also help you to understand the impact of changes in accounting standards such as IFRS 9, IFRS 15, IFRS 16, IFRS 17, ASC 606, and ASC 842.

We identify statutory reporting requirements and conduct local audits to ensure compliance with regulatory obligations.

We'll support your business with all aspects of M&A activity, from identifying opportunities to executing deals and transitioning post-completion.
