Words from our Clients
American corporate manager (30s) Unlisted IT business venture
When we ventured into Japan, we were looking for a firm that is a member of a global network that can provide tax, accounting, human resources, and cash management services. Since we cannot communicate in Japanese, we needed English support. We found Shiodome Partners online, made an inquiry and requested service from the company. Even after our company was established, Shiodome Partners continued to provide one-stop services related to our company operations. Thank you, Shiodome Partners, for your continued support.
Chinese business owner (50s) Unlisted midsize business
We are a midsize business operating a manufacturing and IT business in China. We wanted to establish a wholly owned subsidiary in Tokyo, Japan and expand our products to the Japanese market. Shiodome Partners was recommended by people who were deeply pleased by their services. We inquired with them about expanding our business in Japan. Shiodome Partners has a number of Chinese staff, so we were able to communicate very smoothly. We felt reassured because of the great deal of very helpful information they provided. We sincerely hope to continue receiving Shiodome Partners’ support.
