Testimonials｜AWI Tax Consulting

Former Deputy Senior Partner at KPMG Tax Corporation

- Mr. Endo Tatsuya
- Japanese Certified Public Tax Accountant
I worked with Mr. Yanagihara at KPMG Tax Corporation from April 2012 to June 2019, where he provided tax advice and tax return preparation services for Japanese listed and foreign companies. As a result of over seven years of hard work, he has developed into a tax professional with broader knowledge of Japanese taxation and has become one of my most trusted colleagues.
I am confident that he will continue to provide high quality services to his clients as a tax professional with integrity.

A leader in LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) and sustainability consulting, software, and training

- Ms. Lise Laurin
- CEO and Founder
EarthShift Global is a leader in LCA and sustainability consulting, software, and training. We empower organizations to confidently make impactful, fact-based decisions that profitably shift their organizational and sustainability performance.
We were looking for English speaking tax/accounting service firm in Japan and decided to ask AWI. AWI does monthly bookkeeping directly into our U.S.-based accounting software, rather than Japanese accounting software. Also, AWI can communicate to our US accountant directly. These practices are very helpful.
- Mr. Kiyotada Hayashi
- Senior Sustainability Advisor; Director, EarthShift Global, Asia
I am the director of the Japanese subsidiary (EarthShift Global, Asia) of the EarthShift Global group. I had never been involved in taxation or accounting before, but Mr. Yanagihara explained Japanese taxation and accounting in a simple way that even a non-accounting professional like me could understand. He also communicates directly with our parent company in the U.S., which is very helpful.

- Mr. Albert Kao
- CEO & Co-Founder
i-5O is a Silicon Valley based start-up that has developed a proprietary AI vision powered digital twin to help manufacturers track, measure and improve their manual production processes.
We entrust AWI Tax Consulting with all our bookkeeping and tax matters in Japan, and they even handle communication with a Japanese bank when necessary. They communicate with us entirely in English, including emails and phone calls, and provide English versions of tax computations for Japanese Corporation tax and Consumption tax filings, helping to minimize language barriers.

A leading provider of scientific, environmental, human health, global regulatory and sustainability consulting services

- Dr. Fionnuala Schultz,
- Chief Financial Officer
Yordas Group is a leading provider of scientific, environmental, human health, global regulatory and sustainability consulting services. We have international capability with supporting offices and representation in North America, Asia and Europe, and commercial activities across 40 countries. To support our expansion and the incorporation of our Japanese subsidiary, we needed a tax/accounting firm who could guide us through the requirements of the Japanese tax system and communicate complex matters to our international Directors in English.
We are delighted with our decision to work with Ryohei and AWI Tax Consulting. Throughout the incorporation process and continuing to this day, Ryohei clearly communicated the compliance requirements and supported us not only with tax/accounting services, but also in other areas such as opening a Japanese bank account and providing local representation when required. Thanks to Ryohei, we successfully incorporated Yordas KK and are very grateful for his support. He is professional and friendly, and we are always happy to work with him.
