"Serving the needs of foreign owned businesses in Japan for over 20 years"

What a couple of our customers had to say:

“I have been introduced to SMEJapan almost 10 years ago and I have since recommended their services to many friends and business partners. SMEJapan is my trusted partner and advisor for my personal tax filing in Japan and has supported me in establishing and running several businesses in Japan. I have always been impressed by their open-minded approach and professional execution.” SRD – Tokyo

Our company has been a customer of SMEJapan since our beginning in 2010. SMEJapan has supported us with a variety of services that would be difficult for a start-up business in Japan. They have earned our trust and we look forward to many more successful years in Japan using their services.
