Greeting from Managing Partner

Hiroshi Ogawa (CPA・CPTA)

As a professional accountant, I have gained extensive experience in large audit firms on international cross-border projects, including audits, FAS work and taxation.

In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in Chinese capital entering the Japanese market, of which I have been involved in several large projects. Based on my experience and knowledge of accounting, auditing, and taxation in both countries, as well as the understanding of the differences in business practices and underlying corporate management philosophies in both countries, I have provided various services meanwhile educated my Chinese clients' financial managers on the Japanese auditing, accounting, and taxation systems.

We have decided to use this experience to expand our field of operations beyond China to Europe, the U.S., and Southeast Asia with four partners who have extensive experience in business management and overseas assignments for Japanese companies. We have established a mid-sized international accounting firm, "MAKOTO International Audit Corporation" and "MAKOTO International FAS LLC".

The word "MAKOTO" is taken from my motto "sincerity". We decided to name the firm "MAKOTO" because I believe that the only way to build trust with clients is to work with sincerity. I pledge to always provide service with "sincerity" and never betray your expectations.
