Quantera Global signs deal with Tokyo based TKAO to offer TP services to Japan market

Quantera Global has announced the signing of a co-operation agreement with Tokyo-based tax and accounting services provider Tokyo Kyodo Accounting Office (“TKAO”).

The co-operation will enable TKAO to provide integrated and specialised transfer pricing services to its client base throughout Asia and globally. In addition, it will ensure that Quantera Global can provide the highest quality service to its clients doing business in Japan.

Steven Carey, a Senior Partner of Quantera Global based in Hong Kong said “Quantera Global is very excited to be working with TKAO in this capacity. The cooperation represents a milestone in the development of both firms as it will provide the only true Big 4 alternative for Japanese MNCs doing business outside Japan.”

Ryutaro Uchiyama, Managing Partner of TKAO explained the background and objective of the cooperation: “The Japanese economy is rapidly evolving in various respects including a recent surge in foreign investment in the ASEAN region. As more and more Japanese companies, including SMEs, are venturing or expanding outside Japan, we have the objective of being the best equipped and most experienced firm to be able to support them in dealing with the transfer pricing challenges that lie ahead. Working as one team with Quantera Global, we are sure this objective will be achieved.”

Steven Carey added “We are very confident that this cooperation will provide Japanese companies of all sizes with the full range of transfer pricing services they are seeking, including optimal design and planning, efficient documentation, audit defense, risk management and Advance Pricing Agreements. The regional and global resources of Quantera Global, combined with the Japanese presence and depth of client relationships of TKAO, ensures that this will be a long and fruitful alliance.”
