Customer Testimonials

Here are some testimonials from our clients. Discover how my services have positively impacted their businesses and lives.

My experience was outstanding from start to finish. The booking process was smooth and well-organized, with timely reminders, and the meeting itself was both professional and welcoming.

Kojima-san reviewed key areas including my resident status, various tax exposures, and the process for handling business expenses. His explanations were clear and thorough, and I felt an immediate sense of trust in his guidance—trust that was later reinforced by my own research.

By the end of our meeting, I felt genuinely relieved and confident in the path forward. I would highly recommend his services.

I really didn’t know anything, so I’m truly grateful for all the explanations and advice you gave me. I hadn’t been able to handle invoices or taxes very well, so it was a huge help to get your consultation and have you explain these complex topics to me.
