Accountant for Japanese companies in Mexico
When a Japanese company sets up in Baja California, accounting is one of the first things it has to solve and one of the last anyone explains in its own language. I have spent more than 30 years at exactly that point.
Why this firm exists
A Japanese company arriving in Mexico is not looking for a cheap accountant. It is looking for one who understands that the Mexican close and the report to the parent company are two different deliverables, and that both are due the same month. That was the gap I found 30 years ago and the one I still fill.
What changes when the accountant speaks Japanese
Time changes. A question from the parent company gets resolved in one call instead of three translated emails. Precision changes too: accounting terms have no exact equivalent between the two frameworks, and an intermediary without accounting training flattens them.
Maquiladora operations, specifically
Plant payroll with shifts and Sunday premium, profit sharing, expatriate staff under double taxation, and temporary import VAT under IMMEX. None of this is exotic here; it is the firm’s ordinary month.
